The Scream franchise returns to theaters on January 14, 2022. 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 known as Radio Silence (Ready or Not, V/H/S, Southbound). A new featurette teases their fresh vision today.
As promised in the headline up above, you’ll find new footage and some additional plot details in this latest sneak peek, which reveals that Melissa Barrera‘s new character Sam is at the center of things this time around. The actress explains, “Sam becomes the target of the Ghostface killer, and she seeks Dewey (David Arquette) for help.”
Co-star Dylan Minnette teases, “It’s the perfect mix of new energy and also keeping what made [Scream] so special in the first place.” Returning star Courteney Cox adds, “There’s things that happen in the movie that are kind of shocking. I still can’t believe it.”
Check out the brand new featurette below.
