The New SCREAM Movie Has Multiple Scripts and Edits of the Film To Throw Fans Off — GeekTyrant

The next Scream film to be released will be a continuation of the story that we saw play out over the course of the first four movies. The movie is bringing back the legacy characters including Neve Campbell as Sidney Prescot, David Arquette as Dewy Riley, and Courteney Cox as Gale Weathers.

The film is being directed by Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett (Ready or Not) and they are going to great lengths to make sure the plot and story details for the film are kept under wraps. In fact, it turns out that multiple scripts were written and there are also multiple edits of the film to throw fans off. This is something they took right out of Marvel’s playbook.

Bloody Disgusting reports that “there are not only multiple versions of the Scream screenplay, but also the movie, with the purpose to obfuscate fans who want to spoil the final product.” Better safe than sorry!

As far as we know so far, the movie “will follow a woman returning to her hometown to try to find out who has been committing a series of vicious crimes.”

The new cast members include Jack Quaid (The Boys), Dylan Minnette (13 Reasons Why), and Jenna Ortega (You, The Babysitter: Killer Queen). Additionally, actress Marley Shelton is back playing Judy Hicks.

Scream is scheduled to hit theaters on January 14, 2022.
