It’s a good time to be a horror fan as the renaissance of the genre has given rise to some of them best horror movies Returning to cinemas with new sequels. One of the most recent examples of this trend is the new Scream Film which was a box office success when it hit theaters in January. A sequel was quickly greenlit, and now four actors have been confirmed for their return as the first synopsis arrives online.
The newest Scream Film was made by helmed Ready or Not Filmmakers Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, who have crafted a new story with deep connections to the first four Wes Craven films. Ghostface left a surprising number of survivors alive, and four of them have been confirmed to return scream 6. Namely, the two pairs of siblings: Melissa Barrera and Jenna Ortega, who played Sam and Tara Carpenter, and Jasmine Savoy Brown and Mason Gooding, who played Mindy and Chad Meeks-Martin. The first synopsis for the film teases what this quartet is up to, which reads:
The Scream saga continues as the four survivors of the Ghostface murders leave Woodsboro behind and begin a new chapter.
While this news is exciting, the biggest question arises scream 6The cast of remains up in the air. Are franchise heroes Neve Campbell and Courteney Cox returning as Sidney Prescott and Gale Weathers, respectively? Cross your fingers like you can hardly imagine Scream movie without her.
For his part, Neve Campbell appears to be in touch with the folks behind the developing sixth Scream Movie. Last we heard from the icon craft Actress, she was waiting to get a script for the new slasher. Hopefully this process goes as planned and we get to see the franchise’s two OGs back on the big screen. This is especially true since David Arquettes Dewey was killed in the last sequel.
Still the four actors recently confirmed Scream definitely made a strong impression on fans with the last film. Audiences were thrilled that Randy’s niece and nephew were in the cast as twins, and his sister out scream 3 (Heather Matarazzo) even returned for a brief scene. Melissa Barrera’s Sam eventually became the daughter of Billy Loomis, and Jenna Ortega has proven herself with roles in projects like Modern Scream Queen Xand The babysitter 2.
From the look of the first synopsis, the next Scream movie could move away from the iconic Woodsboro setting. Wes Craven did this in the first two sequels, which followed Sidney in college and Los Angeles respectively. Given the bloodbath that scream 5I can’t blame the two pairs of siblings for wanting to move away.
The sixth Scream The film is currently slated to hit theaters sometime in 2023. So the development process may need to be accelerated. Hopefully we’ll hear about the roles of Neve Campbell and Courteney Cox soon. In the meantime, check out the 2022 theatrical release dates to plan your next movie experience.
