Kevin Williamson, who co-wrote Peacock’s new slasher movie Sick (now streaming!), is back as Executive Producer for this year’s Scream VI, coming to theaters on March 10, 2023.
Williamson is of course the writer of the original Scream movie, and in a new chat with SYFY Wire he teases that the upcoming sixth installment is a “fresh reinvention” of the saga.
“It doesn’t feel like ‘Part 6,’ it feels like you’re watching this big, huge, fresh reinvention,” Williamson tells SYFY Wire. “I love, love, love, love it. I’ve watched the movie with a big smile on my face. I think it’s everything and more. And going to New York was awesome. The movie feels new, it feels fresh, it feels like a new movie.”
He adds, “It’s really good. It’s great. There’s no way around it. I’m very happy with how it turned out … I really do have all that enthusiasm for it. I’m really excited.”
Stay tuned for a new trailer for Scream VI real soon…
In the brand new movie, “The Scream saga continues with the four survivors of the Ghostface killings as they leave Woodsboro behind and start a fresh chapter.”
