THN News: Scream 5

News in that a sequel?
Is on the boards for the series that revived the slasher horror franchise in the nineties, giving the killers a more human yet possibly scarier tone.
The project slated to begin production in may of this year (though with the corona virus tipped to be at it's peak by then it may get pushed back) I was very skeptical of a fifth movie in this franchise especially after hearing the brief, maybe somewhat unimaginative synopsis.

Spoilers after the ghostface!

After a spate of killings in her home town, a woman returns to try and find out who the killer is.
That's all we have at the moment, I think it sounds A LOT like scream 4, but there are also rumors that this might be one of them pseudo remake/reboot things.
I like the fact though that if it is they are so far keeping the numbering system. So I was a bit uum and ahh about this initially until I read who is behind it.

Ready or Not's directors Matthew Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillet that amazing movie staring Samara Weaving showed great character development and how to truly write a good hero character. Either male or female, start off flawed then work your way to bad ass by the final act, so i am not worried in the directors one bit there.

More quell my fears are the rest of the production team and writers coming back too such as those guys third wheel Chad Villella as executive producer along with OG writer on past scream films Kevin Williamson, all in a neat bow under Spyglass films.
These factors have me believe that something good could come of this production, there's no ties any of the original actors coming back yet, which is a good and bad thing as if Sydney came back AGAIN and either survived again or actually died I think that alienate a lot of fans one way or another, maybe some kind of connection in the end would be enough suffice I think.
Hope you've enjoyed this report THN signing out!
