Fandango reports that SCREAM 5, the highly-anticipated sequel to the blockbuster horror franchise, has just wrapped production! Which is quite a feat, considering the conditions the film industry has been in lately.
Meanwhile, the newest film will be directed by Radio Silence's Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett (READY OR NOT), and stars returning cast members Neve Campbell, Courtney Cox, and David Arquette – as well some new blood in the form of Jack Quaid, Melissa Barrera, and Jenna Ortega – and will be released to theaters (hopefully) January 14th, 2022!
However, there are no plot details as of this time, though Kevin Williamson – the screenwriter of the original 1996 SCREAM film, and executive producer on the new film – has stated recently:
What I love about the new Scream is that it does take a fresh approach. It’s this beautiful sort of fresh new movie, but it also has this nostalgic factor that runs through it. That to me was a perfect blend of how to do the next Scream…I’m blown away by the directors, and I was really nervous because nobody is Wes Craven. I was really hesitant to even jump on board and be a part of it, and boy am I glad I did because I think it’s going to make Wes proud.”
So what do you guys think? Excited for a SCREAM 5 movie? Either way, sound off below!
