Scream 7 Takes a Tropical Twist: White Lotus-Inspired Island Setting

Jasmin Savoy Brown has an interesting idea for the location of Scream 7 - a tropical island! While the previous Scream movies were primarily set in Woodsboro, California, Ghostface has also attacked in other locations such as Ohio, Hollywood, and New York. In an interview with Screen Rant to promote the release of Scream VI, Brown suggested that Scream 7 should take place in Tahiti, Hawaii, or any other tropical island. Her reason? She simply wants to go there and film at a tropical resort. You can check out Brown's full interview and quote below.

Jasmin Savoy Brown, who stars in the Scream franchise, shared her desire to see the core characters venture to a tropical location like Tahiti or an island. She expressed her interest in filming Ghostface in Hawaii, but acknowledged the logistical challenges of shooting at a resort. Brown joked that it would be like a crossover between the popular HBO series White Lotus and Scream. The question remains: should Scream 7 take the core four to a new location?

With the success of Scream (2022) and Scream VI, fans are eagerly waiting for any news about a potential Scream 7. While nothing has been officially announced, it seems likely that the franchise will continue. One of the biggest questions is where the story will take place and whether the core four characters will return to Woodsboro or find themselves in a new location.

The answer to this question could depend on the timeline of the next film. If the characters are still in college, it would make sense for them to remain in New York. However, it's also possible that Ghostface will draw them back to their hometown by targeting their remaining family members in Woodsboro.

Regardless of where the story takes place, fans can expect more of the same thrilling and suspenseful horror that has made the Scream franchise a beloved classic.

If Scream 7 takes place years after the events of the previous film, the core four may have gone their separate ways after graduating from college. One interesting suggestion by Brown is a tropical island resort, which would effectively trap them in an unfamiliar location with no escape. This new setting could introduce a host of new characters and strangers, much like New York did in Scream 2.

Furthermore, a tropical resort would also subvert the typical dynamic of Ghostface being a friend or acquaintance of the core four. Instead, they could be lured or followed to the resort by the killer, making it more difficult to identify a suspect. The irony of a paradise vacation being the backdrop for a mass killing in Scream 7 would add to the franchise's signature self-aware humor and horror tropes.
