The premiere was expected to convene horror icons Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox and David Arquette with their supporting cast and filmmaker collective Radio Silence (“Ready or Not”) in Los Angeles. 11 will not proceed, a note to invited guests said on Thursday. Given the tidal wave of the omicron variant, the event originally scheduled for Jan. 14, 2022.Sorry, Sidney - Paramount Pictures is not moving forward with a planned red carpet premiere for the latest installment of the “ Scream” franchise. Scream will be released in theaters on Jan. These are people who are doing it for the love of these films. So I thought, ‘You know what, I can do this.’ I think this could be a lot of fun and a good idea. They are directors because of Wes Craven and they’re really so excited to be a part of these films and what an honor it is to do them, and that they really want to do justice to Wes and honor his legacy. She added, "They actually wrote me a letter and they said they basically are directors because of these films. I always felt like it’d be too difficult to do it without Wes. “People had asked in the past whether I would do another one without Wes or whether I would make another one. "I had been really apprehensive about doing another one,” Neve Campbell previously said of joining Scream without Wes Craven's involvement.
It seemed like the series was over once Craven passed away, but the new filmmakers intend to honor the series and Craven's legacy with this new movie. Before his death, Craven had intended to move forward with the franchise after Scream 4 with plans to develop at least two more sequels. The previous Scream movies were directed by late horror filmmaker Wes Craven. Original screenwriter Kevin Williamson executive produces alongside Chad Villella, Gary Barber, Peter Oillataguerre, Ron Lynch, Cathy Konrad, and Marianne Maddalena.
Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett (the filmmakers behind the acclaimed horror hit Ready or Not) co-direct the movie using a screenplay by James Vanderbilt and Guy Busick. This is a Project X Entertainment Production and a Radio Silence Film presented by Paramount Pictures and Spyglass Media Group. Could it be Sidney, Dewey, or Gale, having gone crazy after surviving four Ghostface massacres in the past? Or has someone new, perhaps with a partner, sought to finish the job that the original Ghostface killers (Billy and Stu) had tried to do in the original Scream 25 years ago? Neve Campbell (“Sidney Prescott”), Courteney Cox (“Gale Weathers”) and David Arquette (“Dewey Riley”) return to their iconic roles in Scream alongside Melissa Barrera, Kyle Gallner, Mason Gooding, Mikey Madison, Dylan Minnette, Jenna Ortega, Jack Quaid, Marley Shelton, Jasmin Savoy Brown, and Sonia Ammar."Ī previously released poster showcased the returning legacy cast members alongside everyone in the new cast, promising that the killer was someone on that poster. The official synopsis reads: "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. Who will survive? We'll all find out next month. Set to appear in theaters in January, the new movie will put Sidney Prescott in danger once again when Ghostface returns with yet another killer (or killers) under the mask to carry out a Woodsboro massacre. Head back to Woodsboro in the Dolby Cinema poster for Scream, the fifth installment of the popular slasher movie franchise.
