Scream 5 is an upcoming American slasher film directed by Tyler Gillett and Matt Bettinelli-Olpin from a screenplay by James Vanderbilt and Guy Busick. The film starts David Arquette, Neve Campbell, and Courteney Cox. Like its predecessors, Scream 5 combines the violence of the slasher genre with elements of black comedy and "whodunit" mystery to satirize the clichés of film remakes. It is the direct sequel to 2011's Scream 4 and the fifth installment in the Scream film series which commenced in 1996.

The film also provides a commentary on the extensive usage of social media and the obsession of internet fame. The film was slated for production in May 2020 but was delayed to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The film is scheduled to be released on January 14, 2022, by Paramount Pictures.

Cast[edit]

Production[edit]

Prior to the release of Scream 4, Wes Craven and Kevin Williamson both stated that its success would lead to a fifth and sixth film. Following the under-performance of the film at the box office, as well as the death of Craven in 2015, doubts were cast on the possibility of future films. In 2015, MTV began airing an anthology television series spin-off of the franchise, although none of the cast or crew from the films were involved. Although star Neve Campbell has expressed doubts over any more installments, David Arquette voiced his desire to have a fifth film to pay homage to Craven.[1]

Actor David Arquette in 2010 also added his support to the potential future of the franchise, stating "It [the ending] definitely leaves it open," before adding that he would welcome the opportunity to play the character of Dewey in future installments.[2] In May 2011, executive producer Harvey Weinstein confirmed that a sequel was possible, saying that despite Scream 4 performing below The Weinstein Company's financial expectations, he was still happy with the gross it had accrued.[3] In February 2012, when asked about a potential Scream 5, Williamson stated at the time that he did not know, saying "I'm not doing it."

On September 30, 2013, Harvey Weinstein expressed his interest in a fifth installment, stating "I'm begging [Bob Weinstein] to do the movie and just end it. We've milked that cow."[4] On June 25, 2015, the Washington Street Journal conducted an interview with Bob Weinstein. When asked about the possibility of a film continuation after Scream 4, Weinstein firmly denied the possibility of a fifth installment or any further continuation of the film franchise, citing the MTV series as the right place for the franchise to find new life. "It's like putting an art-house movie in an art-house theater," Weinstein said. "Where the teens reside is MTV."[5]

However, in early 2019, it was reported that Blumhouse Productions, which specializes in horror-themed films, was interested in reviving the series, and that head of studio Jason Blum was working on making such Scream installments happen.[6] In November 2019, Spyglass Media Group acquired the rights to make a new Scream film. It was unknown at the time if it would be a sequel, reboot, or remake. It was also unknown if Kevin Williamson will return.[7][8][9][10][11] The next month, it was announced that the film would feature a new cast but could possibly feature appearances from the previous main cast members.[12]

In March 2020, it was announced that Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett would direct the fifth installment, with Kevin Williamson serving as writer and executive producer, and that it had already entered official development, with filming hoping to begin in May 2020.[13] In May 2020, it was announced that Neve Campbell was in talks to reprise her role as Sidney Prescott in the fifth film.[14] That same month, it was announced David Arquette would be reprising his role of Dewey Riley for the fifth film and James Vanderbilt & Guy Busick were announced as additional writers. It was also confirmed that the film will begin production later in the year in Wilmington, North Carolina when safety protocols are in place due to COVID-19 pandemic.[15] In June 2020, Variety reported that the film will be distributed by Paramount Pictures and is aiming for a 2021 release.[16]

On July 31, 2020, Courteney Cox confirmed to Deadline Hollywood that she is returning to Scream 5 as dogged news reporter character Gale Weathers.[17] In August 2020, Melissa Barrera and Jenna Ortega joined the cast of the film.[18][19] In September 2020, Jack Quaid joined the cast of the film.[20]
