Paramount Pictures launched the 5th installment of the franchise on January 14, 2022. The red-carpet premiere of the film was planned for January 11, 2022, however, it was canceled because of the lengthy COVID-19 epidemic and the advent of the Omicron strain.
After more than 10 years, we got to watch the new Scream film – and the fifth installment in the postmodern slasher genre is making the horror fans crazy.
The new one-minute trailer shows Ghostface on the prowl while building up a generational mystery, with Sidney Prescott, played by Neve Campbell, heard stating, “I’ve seen this picture before.”
The picture, simply titled Scream, was initially reported not long after the release of Scream 4 in 2011, however, due to several delays, the project took a long time to commence production before being delayed again by the pandemic.
But, as the film’s release date approaches, Paramount Pictures has been progressively tempting us with a variety of posters and promos, including a pair of recent bonus features.
The latest member is a documentary titled Return To Woodsboro, in which long-time cast members Courtney Cox, David Arquette, and Neve Campbell discuss their return to the series, which they have been a member of since the first film in 1996.
The new picture is the first in the franchise not helmed by horror maestro Wes Craven, who died in 2015, with Ready or Not team Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett taking the helm.
