Playing out like a faux news report being delivered by Gale Weathers (Courteney Cox), a new promo video for Scream has arrived today, serving as a recap of the franchise’s events.
This is the first time original killers Billy Loomis and Stu Macher have been shown in the marketing for the new movie, which also touches upon the many copycat killers that donned the Ghostface mask in their wake. “The town of Woodsboro continues to be haunted by its tragic past,” Gale says in the video. And a mysterious figure is on the prowl once more…
This time, it really could be ANYONE…
Gale Weathers continues to inspire an entirely new generation of investigative minds. I wonder why Sarah doesn’t think so…

The filmmaking team this time around includes directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin & Tyler Gillett, as well as executive producer Chad Villella, the three members of the filmmaking group Radio Silence (Ready or Not, V/H/S, Southbound). In the new movie…
“Twenty-five years after a streak of brutal murders shocked the quiet town of Woodsboro, a new killer has donned the Ghostface mask and begins targeting a group of teenagers to resurrect secrets from the town’s deadly past.”
Dylan Minnette (Goosebumps), Mason Gooding (Let It Snow), Kyle Gallner (Ghosts of War), Jasmin Savoy Brown (“Love”) and Mikey Madison (Once Upon a Time in Hollywood) join an ensemble that also includes Neve Campbell as Sidney Prescott, David Arquette and Courteney Cox who will return as Dewey Riley and Gale Weathers, as well as new cast members Jack Quaid (“The Boys”), Melissa Barrera (“In The Heights”) and Jenna Ortega (“You”). Marley Shelton is also returning as Scream 4 character Deputy Judy Hicks.
James Vanderbilt (Murder Mystery, Zodiac, The Amazing Spider-Man) and Guy Busick (Ready or Not, Castle Rock) wrote the script. Michel Aller edited the film, which is now complete.
