Ghostface has left Woodsboro and is in New York, stalking his next victim in the first trailer for Scream 6, directed by Radio Silence’s Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett (Scream, Ready or Not).
Past Scream stars are returning to reprise their roles, including Melissa Barrera (Bed Rest), Jasmin Savoy Brown, Mason Gooding, Jenna Ortega, franchise star Courtney Cox, and Hayden Panettiere from Scream 4. Dermot Mulroney (“The Purge” series) has joined the cast alongside Jack Champion (Avatar: The Way of Water), Liana Liberato (The Beach House), Devyn Nekoda (Ghostwriter), and Josh Segarra of “Arrow,” and Samara Weaving (Ready or Not), as well as Tony Revolori (Spider-Man: No Way Home).
Barrera recently spoke with Collider, implying that the sequel will be bigger and bloodier than its predecessors.
“With the last Scream, they were tip-toeing and trying to be very respectful of what the franchise had been, up until that point, and keeping their inner gory dreams at bay. But with this one, they were like, “We’re going all out.” It’s potentially a hundred times gorier.” Barrera continues, “There was a saying on set because (directors) Matt [Bettinelli-Olpin] and Tyler [Gillett] were always asking for more blood and more sweat. They always just wanted more. ‘More blood spritz’ was the saying because they would just always want more.”
Radio Silence’s Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett (Scream, Ready or Not) will helm the film, with James Vanderbilt (Scream, Murder Mystery) and Guy Busick (Scream, Ready or Not) writing the script. Project X Entertainment’s Vanderbilt, Paul Neinstein, and William Sherak serve as producers (Scream, Ambulance). Kevin Williamson and the other member of Radio Silence, Chad Villella, are executive producing alongside Spyglass’ Gary Barber, Peter Oillataguerre, Ron Lynch, Cathy Konrad, and Marianne Maddalena.
It appears that the official title has also been revealed in the trailer. At the end of the trailer, VI is highlighted in red in the title, which means that Scream VI is the title, after all.
Scream 6 will slash its way into theaters on March 10, 2023, from Paramount.
