'Scream 5' A Go: 'Ready or Not' Filmmakers Directing

[Lone]

From Bloody Disgusting and Discussing Film:

"We had told you back in September of last year that Spyglass Media Group was resurrecting Ghostface and the Scream franchise, and today brings a very, very exciting update.

Discussing Film is reporting that Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, the two directors of last year's hit horror-comedy Ready or Not, will be directing "Scream 5"!

Bettinelli-Olpin and Gillett make up 2/3s of the filmmaking collective Radio Silence. The group was behind the "10/31/98" segment of our own V/H/S, as well as the "Way Out" and "Way In" segments of our Southbound. The other member of Radio Silence is Chad Villella, who is on board to executive produce the new Scream alongside Kevin Williamson."

I actually quite liked Ready or Not and think they could be the right group of people to do a Scream movie, so call me optimistic.

 

[Weiss]

I thought Scream 5 was about time travel or something.

 

[Musubi]

Ready or Not was lowkey one of the best horror movies last year. Such a brilliant script.

 

[Deleted member 1248]

If Neve isn't the killer this time I'm not interested.

 

[Reizzz]

Love this series, hopefully their meta story will be something different though and not a repeat of the previous ones

 

[Tace]

I kinda want them to leave it alone without Craven's involvement, but these guys are certainly good. You get a script by Williamson and I might start getting excited

 

[Kschreck]

Ready or Not was a lot of fun so I'm in.

 

[PirateHearts]

The whole Scream series kind of came and went before I really got into horror movies (I just finally saw the first one maybe a year or two ago), but Ready or Not was my favorite movie of last year, so I'll be keeping an eye on this.

 

[digitalrelic]

I liked the first 3, but thought 4 was pretty terrible. Cautiously interested in this!

 

[spookyduzt]

Ready or Not is fucking amazing. I have hope for this.

 

[HeartlessNobody2134]

That team seems perfectly suited to take on Scream so I'm optimistic about it.

 

[kai3345]

yessssssss

 

[Wijuci]

Ready or Not was really fun, I love the Scream movie franchise, I'm in!

 

[OneThirtyEight]

Sure...why not. Would love to see what Craven could have done with it though :/

 

[mreddie]

I'm game. 4 was great and Ready or Not was damn good.

 

[shaneo632]

Sad that Craven isn't around but they're a very solid choice.

 

[SnatcherHunter]

Holy Crap!!! Day 0!

 

[Anti-Pessimist]

If this is a continuation, please make it so that Kirby survived 4. Her fate was purposely left ambiguous.

 

[Deleted member 32822]

Loved Ready or Not. I hope this is a reboot. Scream 4 felt complete.

 

[Tace]

If this is a continuation, please make it so that Kirby survived 4. Her fate was purposely left ambiguous.

Yes this would be fantastic

 

[Nightwing123]

The Ready or Not directors are a good choice will be there day 1. Also 1 > 4 > 2 >> 3.

 

[AllThingsPurple]

Ready or Not was great and I also enjoyed 4 so I'm down for more.

 

[Blade24070]

Interesting that they're calling it Scream 5 and not rebooting it. Maybe they want the cast back?
And yes please bring back Hayden Panettiere.

 

[alstrike]

After the trainwreck that was Scre4m I'm not interested.

Who's gonna be the killer now? A raccoon? Sidney Prescott's evil doppelgänger?

 

[jon bones]

Yes! I love the Scream series & Ready or Not

Interesting that they're calling it Scream 5 and not rebooting it. Maybe they want the cast back?
And yes please bring back Hayden Panettiere.

Click to shrink...

Hell yeah

 

[gforguava]

Interesting that they're calling it Scream 5 and not rebooting it. Maybe they want the cast back?
And yes please bring back Hayden Panettiere.

She was the best part of the film and her death was so anemic in the film that I was sure she was going to come back. Really, the whole final act of Scream 4 feels like it was reshot to hell and it really sours the whole thing.

But Ready or Not was great so, sure, I'lll come back for more.

 

[abellwillring]

Ready Or Not was so good. I'm very interested in this now which is not something I ever expected I'd say about a new Scream movie.

 

[Seesaw15]

What is the Scream Franchise even committing on/satirizing anymore? Its too obsessed with its own lore to be good anymore. I'm sure it'll be interesting and a nice paycheck for the director but this IP is done.

 

[SnatcherHunter]

Thinking about it. I hope the trio comes back. Would love to see what the family is up to over 20 years later, and how they will react to this.

 

[DarkChronic]

Hell yeah! Over the past several months my girlfriend and I watched Scream 1-4 for the first time. Great flicks and a ton of fun.

 

[Yautja_Warrior]

It's a good fit for them, Ready or Not was awesome.

 

[RumbleHumble]

Love every entry in this series and loved Ready or Not. Really optimistic about this.

 

[timedesk]

Ready or Nott was great, so I will probably check this out when it comes. 4 was actually a really solid film, so I wouldn't mind if they continued from it rather then just rebooted everything.

If this is a continuation, please make it so that Kirby survived 4. Her fate was purposely left ambiguous.

This would be great, she was one of the best characters in 4.

 

[Fubar]

Scream is largely good, Ready or Not was great, I'm ready for this

 

[Dullahan]

Fuck yes! I'm so down for this.
