As production wraps on the long-awaited production of ‘Scream 5’, franchise creator Kevin Williamson has revealed that the title of the film will be ‘SCREAM’.
Taking to his social media channels, Williamson stated;
“That’s a wrap on Scream, which I’m excited to announce is the official title of the next film! Nearly 25 years ago, when I wrote Scream and Wes Craven brought it to life, I could not have imagined the lasting impact it would have on you, the fans. I’m excited for you to return to Woodsboro and get really scared again. I believe Wes would’ve been so proud of the film that Matt and Tyler are making. I’m thrilled to be reunited with Neve, Courteney, David and Marley, and to be working alongside a new filmmaking team and incredible cast of newcomers that have come together to continue Wes’s legacy with the upcoming relaunch of the franchise that I hold so dear to my heart. See you in theatres January 2022. #ScreamMovie @ScreamMovies”

Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett will direct the latest instalment to the franchise. James Vanderbilt and Guy Busick have penned the screenplay. Creator Kevin Williamson and the third member of the Radio Silence trio, Chad Villella, are executive producing with Project X Entertainment’s Vanderbilt, Paul Neinstein and William Sherak serving as producers.
Neve Campbell joins previously announced legacy cast members David Arquette and Courteney Cox who return as Dewey Riley and Gale Weathers, as well as new cast members Jack Quaid (“The Boys”), Melissa Barrera (“In The Heights”) and Jenna Ortega (“You”).
‘Scream’ is a long-running genre-busting horror franchise which generated four feature films including ‘Scream’ (1996), ‘Scream 2’ (1997), ‘Scream 3”'(2000) and ‘Scream 4’ (2011). Directed by famed “maestro of horror,” the late Wes Craven, the films went on to gross more than $600 million in worldwide box office receipts. Williamson wrote the original film as well as “Scream 2” and “Scream 4.”
The film will hit cinemas in January 2022.
