What you need to know about Scream
Sharing the title of the original 1996 movie, this new Scream is a sequel/reboot mix, as original characters like Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell), Gale Weathers-Riley (Courteney Cox) and Dewey Riley (David Arquette) are brought in to help the new Scream cast (Melissa Barrera, Jack Quaid, Jasmin Savoy Brown, Dylan Minnette, Jenna Ortega) take on Ghostface.
Scream is the first movie in the franchise not to be directed by Wes Craven, who passed away in 2015. Instead, Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, part of the Radio Silence directing team (Ready or Not), are behind the camera.
