VERY similar plot points from Scream 3 used in new James Bond flick!


!!!MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD for the original Scream trilogy and all 4 Daniel Craig Bond flicks!!!

Right after the big reveal that Blofield is the man behind everything in Spectre, I couldn't help but notice that it is practically the exact same twist ending in Scream 3.. IE: Antagonist reveals that he is the key; the "director" and cause of all the killings throughout the entire series.. Including those near and dear to the protagonist. Not only that, but it's also revealed in both movies that the antagonist is, in fact, the protagonist's jealous "long lost brother" who is responsible for killing the his own parent, (Mother in Scream, Father in Spectre). Antagonist also blames the protagonist for motivating him and for getting the dice rolling for all of his killings, and is hellbent on killing the protagonist.

Probably a coincidence, but you never know. Hell, one of the writers of Spectre may have seen Scream 3 years ago, and involuntarily/subconsciously used the same plot point without even realising it!

Doubt a James Bond flick stole from a Scream movie, to be honest. It isn't at all a stretch that these two simply used the same type of plot reveals without even realizing it.
