Drew Barrymore’s Role In 1996’s Scream Was Advertised Constantly - Only For Her To Be The First To Die

In the original 1996Scream , Drew Barrymore play Casey , and her involvement with the slasher film was advertised everywhere . She was front and center in all the promotional material , with her face even being used for the movie ’s main theatrical poster . That was a very smart selling move at the prison term , as Barrymore was a massive star in 1996 . She was a very fertile tyke player in the 80s , and Barrymore find out several of her most democratic persona in the 90s . Barrymore was the perfect star forScream , but her character was the first mortal to die , less than 15 minutes into the film .

Cast

1996 ’s Scream follows a teenaged girl who is targeted by a mask cause of death a class after her female parent ’s execution who uses horror movies as a deadly game against her and her friend .

The merchandising cloth forScreammade viewers assume Barrymore would be the main character reference of the film , and therefore the " net girl " who populate at the conclusion . Barrymore even toldHot Onesthat she took the role because it got repugnance audiences out of their comforter zone and did n’t get them presage how the movie would terminate in the first ten minutes . Casey ’s death accomplished exactly that and immediately set an extremely dark and nail-biting tone for the rest ofScream . Barrymore was a huge reasonScreamwas such a memorable and influential part of the entire repugnance genre .

Carrie-Anne Moss’ Master Indara Got The Same Treatment In The Acolyte

Barrymore ’s death inScreamwas one of the best twists and merchandising campaigns in Hollywood history , andThe Acolyteseems to have replicated it . Carrie - Anne Moss had a very interchangeable office in commercialise the newStar Warsshow as Barrymore did forScream , and Master Indara played almost the same part Casey did . For month beforeThe Acolyte ’s spill , Moss was all over promotional textile for the show ; she was featured in interviews , posters , trailer , clip , and more . Everyone was speak about how Trinity fromThe Matrixwould be inStar Warsand theorize about her role in the show .

Master Indara is a Jedi Master of groovy forcible and mental skill . Little has been revealed of her role to date .

Then , within the first seven second ofThe Acolyte ’s premiere , the very fight that had been hype up Indara ’s role ended with her decease . It was exactly the same twistScreampulled off , and it accomplished almost the same things . Indara ’s last immediately tell audiences that whatever they wait fromThe Acolytewas not what they were about to see . It may not be a horror film , but likeScream , Indara ’s death correct a blue tone for the rest ofThe Acolyteperfectly . None of the show ’s characters are safe , no matter who plays them .

Unlike Drew Barrymore In Scream, Carrie-Anne Moss Still Has More To Do In The Acolyte

Fortunately , there ’s one cardinal difference between Moss ' part inThe Acolyteand Barrymore ’s role inScream . Unlike Casey , Indara still has quite a bit left to do before the show is over . Some of the promotional photos forThe Acolytehave indicated that there will be flashback scenes at some point , and Indara was featured in them . Her role in the cataclysm surrounding Mae and Osha ’s family on Brendok still needs to be revealed , and while it may not be on the nose what audiences were ask out of Moss inStar Wars , Indara is n’t done yet .

Carrie - Anne Moss has made her Star Wars debut in The Acolyte , and I can not believe what they did to her during her first ever astronomical appearance .

to boot , the fact that showrunner Leslye Headland could pull off the same kink Barrymore did inScreamspeaks volume about what she bring toThe Acolyte . It ’s long been known that Headland is a massiveStar Warsfan , but Indara ’s twist highlights just how deep and various Headland ’s cognition really is . She ’s bring in anything that form from any spiritualist , not just the galaxy far , far away . That variety of influence mirrors the inspiration George Lucas had for the originalStar Wars , and it could be a star sign thatThe Acolyteis mould up to be something truly special and singular .
