Well, this was pretty much inevitable, wasn't it? If you're a horror franchise, you are never going to stay dead and the latest one to get some life breathed back into it of course happens to be Scream.
Earlier this year, it was revealed that a fifth movie in the popular franchise was on the cards and the first movie not to be directed by the late Wes Craven, who passed away in 2015. This upcoming movie will be directed by Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett with the screenplay being penned by James Vanderbilt and Guy Busick. There does seem to be some confusion in however whether this upcoming movie will be titled Scream 5 or simply, Scream as the social media accounts seem to be leaning towards the latter so far.
Casting so far for the movie has been pretty modest but with filming due to start next month, there will undoubtedly be more names announced but so far it's been confirmed that both Courtney Cox and David Arquette will reprise their roles as Gale and Dewey Riley while new additions to the movie will include Jack Quaid (The Boys), Jenny Ortega (Jane The Virgin) and Melissa Barrera (Vida) in undisclosed roles so far.
Of course the big question remains - will Neve Campbell complete the original line up and reprise her role as iconic Final Girl Sidney Prescott? Right now, I'm willing to bet that she will, although her inclusion has not bee officially confirmed. I can't imagine a Scream movie without Sidney Prescott and like every other fan of this franchise, I certainly don't want to. Sidney is too important to this franchise, not to use and despite the MTV/VH1 (2015-2019) series attempts to have their own final girl, there's only one Sidney Prescott and that is Neve Campbell.
As for what the actual story will entail, details are sketchy so far but in terms of Ghostface(s), we've done the boyfriends, homicidal family members, vengeful relatives and easily led friends. What possible motive will the new Ghostface(s) have to go after Sidney, Gale and Dewey while wiping out the majority of the new cast? It's going to be fun to find out, won't it?
