Wow! A new Scream film is officially official now. And better yet? Kevin Williamson is returning...as an Executive Producer (didn't write the script, however)! Ready or Not filmmakers Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett will be c-directing the film.
What's not know exactly known as of right now is if this is a legit Scream 5 or a reboot or a re-whatever.
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. It is unknown if it will follow the story of the past four ‘Scream’ films or pave a new direction for the franchise.Take that for what it's worth.
Filming is set to begin in May (that was quick!).
Accompanying Williamson as Executive Producer will be Chad Villella.
HUGE thanks to Discussing Film for breaking the news!
Spyglass hasn't issued an official press release yet. Look for it soon...
