ROMAN BRIDGER (Scott Foley), Scream 3
“Your boyfriend didn’t like seeing his daddy in my film too much. He didn’t like it at all. And once I supplied the motivation…all the kid needed was a few pointers. Have a partner to sell out in case you got caught, find someone to frame, it was like he was making a movie…I’m a director, Sid, I direct. I had no idea that they were gonna make a film of their own. I mean introducing Sidney the victim, Sidney the survivor, SIDNEY THE STAR!“
Roman, director of the failed film-within-the-film Stab 3, reveals himself to be Sidney’s half-brother and the secret child Maureen had rejected. To seek vengeance on the mother who never wanted him, Roman seeks out young Billy and Stu, instructing them on the fine art of covert serial killing before donning the Ghostface identity himself at the conclusion of the first trilogy. Ultimately, Roman is a little too much of a moustache-twirling villain for my taste; in a horror franchise that tries their best to keep the killers grounded in reality, his story stretches the world’s plausibility.
