We’re about three weeks away from the theatrical release of the new Scream movie, which is set to reach the big screen on January 14, 2022, and today three new images from the film have arrived online. You can check them out below to get a new look at Ghostface, plus the iconic slasher’s co-stars Courteney Cox, David Arquette, Melissa Barrera, Jack Quaid, and Dylan Minnette.
This Scream “legacy-quel”, which indeed simply being called Scream even though it’s a follow-up to the previous four movies, is coming to us from Ready or Not (watch it HERE) directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett. The screenplay was written by James Vanderbilt and Guy Busick. Vanderbilt also produced the film for Project X Entertainment, alongside Paul Neinstein and William Sherak. Chad Villella, Gary Barber, Peter Oillataguerre, Ron Lynch, Cathy Konrad, and Marianne Maddalena serve as executive producers alongside original Scream writer Kevin Williamson.
The film has the following synopsis:
Twenty-five years after a streak of brutal murders shocked the quiet town of Woodsboro, a new killer has donned the Ghostface mask and begins targeting a group of teenagers to resurrect secrets from the town’s deadly past.
