Who were Romans father? *spoiler*


Romans mother was the same mother as Sid has, i got that. But who were the father to Roman?

Did we even get to know that? Or was that an non issue? It has to be an issue to Roman.

Somebody, plese enlighten me.

It was originally Milton, but they cut that to make it more ambiguous. So him or one of the other Hollywood big shots at the party.

It's possible Roman was named after the father, but no salacious filmmakers named Roman from that era come to mind.

Wasn't Roman named after Polanski? Polanski held casting couches (most famously the one that got him in trouble) and Roman was the product of a casting couch 'tryst'.

That was the joke.

To answer your question, I don't know if it was an intentional reference, but given some of the ridiculous names ("Jennifer Jolie", "John Milton") it probably was.

I always thought it was Milton

I always assumed it was Milton because of the way Roman killed him. First, he decided to make Milton's home the scene of the final showdown. Second, unlike everyone else at the party (who aren't Gale and Dewey) and his previous kills, Roman doesn't merely hunt down and kill Milton while dressed as Ghostface. Instead, he captures Milton, ties him up, imprisons him in the room where he plans to lure Sidney for their confrontation, reveals his identity with Milton in the room, and then cuts his throat. Besides Sidney, Milton is the only person Roman planned to be aware of his identity before he killed them. He didn't even reveal himself to Gale and Dewey.

But the film never actually says.
