Scream Trailer Neve Campbell Returns To Honor Wes Craven S Memory

The new film is directed by “Ready or Not” duo Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett from a script by James Vanderbilt (“Zodiac”) and Guy Busick (“Ready Or Not”). Original “Scream” writer Kevin Williamson will executive-produce alongside Chad Villella, with development being handled by Spyglass Media.

The original “Scream,” released in 1996, was an instant critical and commercial hit and helped revitalize public interest in the horror genre. The film was also notable for addressing (and subverting) many of the genre’s clichés and mixing horror with comedy. Released the next year, “Scream 2” was a rare exception to the trend of horror sequels that tank with critics. While the third and fourth “Scream” films and the MTV/VH1 “Scream” series weren’t as well-received as the first two movies, “Scream” is still regarded as one of the most important horror franchises in the genre’s history.

Newcomers joining for the fifth installment include “In the Heights” star Melissa Barrera, who recently tweeted that audiences “ain’t ready” for what’s to come.

The new cast also includes Dylan Minnette (“13 Reasons Why”), Jack Quaid (“The Boys”), Jenna Ortega (“You”), Jasmin Savoy Brown (“The Leftovers”), and Mason Gooding (“Dear White People”). “Scream 4” cast member Marley Shelton will also return in the role of Deputy Judy Hicks.
