Watch the First 8 Minutes of MTV's SCREAM
MTV has released the first eight minutes of their new Scream TV series. It's basically an alternate version of the opening scene from the original 1996 Scream movie, which involved the death of Drew Barrymore, only this time there's a lot more modern technology and hot tub sex appeal involved. The first feamle character to die in the series is played by Bella Thorne (The DUFF, Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day). After watching it, I'm still not impressed, especially with its lack of sinister horror movie trivia.
After a cyber-bullying incident results in a brutal murder, the shocking violence stirs up memories of a killing spree from the past that has haunted some, intrigued others and maybe just inspired a new killer. A group of teens – with two old friends struggling to reconnect at its heart – become lovers, enemies, suspects, targets and victims of a killer who’s out for blood.
Scream the TV Series stars Bex Taylor-Klaus, Willa Fitzgerald, John Karna, Connor Weil, and Amadeus Serafini. The iconic Ghostface mask won't be included, though. It was replaced by another mask design, which you can see here.
The series is set to premiere June 30th on MTV at 10pm. I also included the original opening sequence so that you can compare. The original is just so much more intense!
