Production wraps on ‘Scream’ as Kevin Williamson shares a message

It’s official, the fifth instalment in the ‘Scream‘ franchise has wrapped production and it’s going to be titled ‘Scream’.

The news was confirmed by Kevin Williamson, who wrote the original ‘Scream’ and is executive producing this one, on his Instagram page. He shared:

“That’s a wrap on Scream, which I’m excited to announce is the official title of the next film! Nearly 25 years ago, when I wrote Scream and Wes Craven brought it to life, I could not have imagined the lasting impact it would have on you, the fans. I’m excited for you to return to Woodsboro and get really scared again. I believe Wes would’ve been so proud of the film that Matt and Tyler are making. I’m thrilled to be reunited with Neve, Courteney, David and Marley, and to be working alongside a new filmmaking team and incredible cast of newcomers that have come together to continue Wes’s legacy with the upcoming relaunch of the franchise that I hold so dear to my heart. See you in theatres January 2022. #ScreamMovie @ScreamMovies

Williamson also shared some behind-the-scenes photos from the shoot on social media, which you can see below:

‘Scream’ sees franchise regulars Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox and David Arquette returning along with ‘Scream 4’s Marley Shelton. The cast also includes Melissa Barrera, Kyle Gallner, Mason Gooding, Mikey Madison, Dylan Minnette, Jenna Ortega, Jack Quaid, Sonia Ammar, and Jasmin Savoy Brown.

The film is directed by Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, with a screenplay written by James Vanderbilt and Guy Busick based on characters created by Kevin Williamson.

‘Scream’ is due to be released in cinemas in January 2022.
