In a sign of changing times in the industry where a long period of time may occur between a film wrapping and its eventual release, Fandango is reporting that the highly-anticipated sequel to the Scream horror franchise, Scream 5 has just wrapped production, which means the film has wrapped over a year before its release.
While there are currently no plot details, Kevin Williamson – the screenwriter of the original 1996 film, and executive producer on the new film recently stated,
What I love about the new Scream is that it does take a fresh approach. It’s this beautiful sort of fresh new movie, but it also has this nostalgic factor that runs through it. That to me was a perfect blend of how to do the next Scream…I’m blown away by the directors, and I was really nervous because nobody is Wes Craven. I was really hesitant to even jump on board and be a part of it, and boy am I glad I did because I think it’s going to make Wes proud.”
Scream 5 will be released on January 14th, 2022
