NICK JONAS ‘HONORED’ TO PLAY GAY CHARACTER ON ‘SCREAM QUEENS’

The pop star told ET, “I’ve been so honored to get to play some really strong gay characters … and whatever I n do for the muny is jt a blsg to me. If you’re still wonrg about those homoerotic unrton 25 years after Billy Loomis and Stu Macher terrorized Woodsboro W Craven’s “Scream, ” you’ve been on the right track all along.

Ahead of the new “Scream, ” out Friday, openly gay screenwrer of the first “Scream, ” Kev Williamson, has nfirmed that Billy (Skeet Ulrich) and Stu (Matthew Lillard), who are thought to be queer by many LGBTQ+ fan theorists, were based on famo mass murrers Nathan Frnthal Leopold Jr. And Richard Albert Loeb, both of whom reportedly admted they were gay and a relatnship. ” Both are noted for their homoeroticism.

‘SCREAM’ SCREENWRER KEV WILLIAMSON CONFIRMS BILLY AND STU’S QUEER-COD RELATNSHIP WAS BASED ON REAL GAY KILLERS

“It’s very sort of homoerotic, the sense that there were the two guys that killed this other person jt to see if they uld get away wh , ” Williamson said, drawg parallels between the Leopold and Loeb se and Billy and Stu. In one scene, Ray (Shawn Wayans), based on Stu, and Bobby (Jon Abrahams), based on Billy, joke about beg gay, divulgg to a Sidney-like character lled Cdy (Anna Faris) that, “That’s right, Cdy, I’m gay. Williamson adms that when he wrote the origal “Scream, ” which was released 1996, he was “very hant to prent the gay si of me my work, ” rultg the queerns of characters Billy and Stu beg “a ltle d and maybe accintal.

Maybe I wouldn’t be that shy ltle gay wrer who felt like he uldn’t get away wh .

Recently, an terview wh The Inpennt, Williamson nfsed that the “Scream” movi are “d gay survival, ” wh Sidney beg, sentially, a maniftatn of his stggl as a gay person. “And so I thk that’s one of the reasons Fal Girls are so important to as a gay dience. ” Before he wrote Sidney, he related to Jamie Lee Curtis’ Lrie Stro “Halloween” bee, beg gay, “he unrstands the “plight of the Fal Girl.

SCREAM QUEENS

“I thk gay kids everywhere unrstand that survival element that we have to sort of create ourselv. And when we’re watchg that Fal Girl have to prove herself and rise to the challenge and save her life, I thk that’s somethg gay kids anywhere n relate to.

Touched by how many LGBTQ+ people have felt spired by Sidney, Campbell said her heroic character “giv people that nfince that they n overe” and that she unrstands why “ mak sense certaly for the queer muny and gay men. Of urse Mdy is a rult of a shift LGBTQ+ reprentatn — now, to queer- characters would be an embarrassg step backwards — but Williamson also attribut the character to a shift his own growth as a gay man.
