The Directors of READY OR NOT Will Helm The Next SCREAM Movie

Ghostface will be coming back for a new film in the Scream franchise. The project is set up at Spyglass Media Group and we now know who will direct it.

Discussing Film is reporting that Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, the two directors behind last year’s awesomely fun horror-comedy Ready or Not, will be directing the film.

The report notes, “Plot details are scarce but sources say it will follow a woman returning to her home town to try to find out who has been committing a series of vicious crimes.” We have no idea at this point if this next movie will connect to the previous installments, or if it will offer a fresh take on the story.

I’m actually totally ok with this. Ready or Not was such a great film and I think these guys will do a great job creating another Scream sequel. Bettinelli-Olpin and Gillett make up 2/3s of the filmmaking collective Radio Silence. The group was also behind the “10/31/98” segment of V/H/S horror anthology, as well as the “Way Out” and “Way In” segments of Southbound.

The other member of the Radio Silence creative team is Chad Villella, who will executive produce the new Scream alongside Kevin Williamson. Williamson wrote three of the four Scream movies that were made.

Personally, I hope that the movie will continue the story. The film already had a series reboot on MTV, so we don’t need another reboot. What do you all think?
