Matthew Lillard Talks About His Involvement in Scream 7 plus the funniest note David Lynch ever gave him

Scream 7 released this weekend (you can check out my review HERE) ,and everyone is buzzing at the return of Stu Macher. And no, that’s not a spoiler as he was announced as in the cast and his voice appears in the trailer. How that happens, I won’t say, but because of his return, I was able to speak to Matthew Lillard, in conjunction with his release of the film and Ghostface vodka (of which we recently covered its Red Carpet launch).

Unfortunately, this interview was before Scream 7‘s release, so we couldn’t really dive into that like I would have wanted. In fact, Lillard implied something that didn’t even end up being true, so he really Andrew Garfield’ed me. So we certainly talk about Stu and what the character means to him, but we aren’t able to discuss specifics, as I hadn’t seen the film yet. But he is very grateful for Radio Silence putting Stu back in the minds of viewers to even allow his return to happen.

And Twin Peaks/David Lynch fans are in for a treat, as Matthew tells a hilarious story about a note Lynch gave him while acting in Twin Peaks: The Return. Not to mention the fact that he wouldn’t call him by his actual name. Oh Lynch, you eclectic man. This was a great conversation so make sure to check it out in the video above!

Scream 7 plot:

When a new Ghostface killer emerges in the town where Sidney Prescott has built a new life, her darkest fears are realized as her daughter becomes the next target.

Scream 7 is now playing in theaters and Ghostface Vodka releases wide this October.
