Whereas frightening motion photos are thriving at as soon as, a couple of of the finest horror motion photos are in the rear opinion. Chief among them the foremost two Command motion photos, directed by leisurely filmmaker Wes Craven. The foremost sequel came out reduction in 1997, and featured an all-giant title cast along side Jerry O’Connell. And he currently took to social media to existing his draw back-mighty singing in Derek’s musical number.

Command is one in every of the finest horror franchises, with new motion photos aloof being made on the present time (and streaming with a Paramount+ subscription). The foremost two installments continue to be fan favorites, even supposing Jerry O’Connell’s vocal stylings as his character belted out “I Order I Look after You” to Sidney bear left one thing to be desired. Over on Twitter the actor/host explained how he approached that sequence, offering:

Successfully, no longer much less than the Stand By Me actor has a factual sense of humor about this sequence. And his standpoint does befriend to produce some extraordinary-valuable context; he wasn’t making an are attempting to sound factual. As a change, he thought it’d be extra endearing if Derek sounded contaminated. In spite of every little thing, the character wasn’t a trained singer, he was a college student and frat bro.

O’Connell offered this BTS tidbit in accordance with a tweet that praised Command 2 as a astronomical horror sequel. Derek was a crimson herring for the identification of Ghostface, and ended up being brutally murdered in front of Neve Campbell‘s Sidney Prescott in the closing fight. He’s ideal one in every of some Command boyfriends who didn’t cease up being the killer.

I actually must wonder if Derek will cease up referenced in the franchise’s subsequent installment. What we know about Command 7 is limited, but it undoubtedly’ll apparently focal level on Sidney Prescott’s trauma and history in the franchise. A assortment of unimaginative characters had been confirmed to come what could return along side Matthew Lillard‘s Stu Macher, David Arquette’s Dewey Riley, and Scott Foley’s Roman Bridger. In the Command 7 trailer Sidney’s daughter Tatum was shown carrying her jacket from Command 2, so Derek being title dropped positively appears imaginable.

Thankfully for fans of the long-working franchise, our questions would perchance well just aloof be answered rapidly. Command 7 is almost about upon us, and the studio has been factual about promoting the film with out giving freely any spoilers. So if Jerry O’Connell is either viewed or referenced it’ll be a wide shock.

All will be printed when Command 7 hits theaters on February Twenty seventh as phase of the 2026 film open checklist. As for Jerry O’Connell, he would perchance even be viewed in the upcoming series S.W.A.T. Exiles.
