First Trailer for SCREAM Sees the Return of Ghostface on a Murder Spree
The Scream franchise lives on thanks to the filmmaking team behind Ready or Not, Radio Silence, which consists of directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillet. They took on the challenge of developing a fifth film, and their goal is to make something the late Wes Craven would be proud of.
They managed to sell the original cast members on the concept for the sequel, and Neve Campbell has returned to play Sidney Prescot, David Arquette is back as Dewey Riley, and Courteney Cox reprises her role of Gale Weathers. They will be joined by a new younger generation of actors that includes Melissa Barrera (In the Heights), Jenna Ortega (The Fallout), Mason Gooding (Tragedy Girls), Jack Quaid (The Boys), and Dylan Minnette (13 Reasons Why).
The first trailer for the film has been released, and it features the return of Ghostface as he embarks on a killing spree. The main goal is obviously to get to Sydney. The 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.
Scream creative Kevin Williamson is back as a producer, and he also approves of the project and the direction that this new creative team is taking the story. Judging from this first trailer, it looks like the filmmakers will deliver a Scream film that fans are going to enjoy. I’m a huge fan of the franchise, and I think it looks great! I’m excited to watch it!
Scream is scheduled to hit theaters on January 14, 2022.
