Is it really a “relaunch” if it features many members of the original cast reviving their original characters? Unclear, but what matters is that Scream is coming back for a fifth movie, and according to Bloody Disgusting, Neve Campbell is returning to play Sidney Prescott again in this new entry in the franchise, which is due in theaters January 14, 2022. In March it was announced that Ready or Not co-directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett would helm a relaunch of the Scream horror franchise, but there were no further details on which members of the original cast would be returning, if anyone. In a statement from filmmaking group Radio Silence, Campbell said, “I am beyond excited to step back into the role of Sidney Prescott and return to Woodsboro.” Bloody Disgusting also confirmed that Courteney Cox and David Arquette will return to play Gale Weathers and Dewey Riley, and new members of the ensemble will include Jack Quaid, Melissa Barrera, and Jenna Ortega.

How ‘Scream 5’ Directors Convinced Neve Campbell to Return to the Franchise Without Wes Craven

Sidney Prescott is returning to Woodsboro in 'Scream 5.' But how did the new directors convince Neve Campbell to return without Wes Craven?

Sidney Prescott, Woodsboro’s reigning champ, is returning to the “Scream” franchise for a fifth installment. But how did the new directors, Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, convince Neve Campbell to return without the heart and soul of the operation, beloved creator Wes Craven?
The death of Craven back in 2015 was mourned across the horror industry. His vision helped launch genre staples such as “The Hills Have Eyes,” “Vampire in Brooklyn,” “The Last House on the Left” and the massive “Nightmare on Elm Street” franchise. The director was known for his irreverent take on horror and the way he lovingly skewered the genre itself (along with its critics and fans). The high-water mark of this trademark impudence was “Scream.” Written by Kevin Williamson, the “Scream” franchise is considered essential movie-watching every spooky season.


So when Craven died, many believed the franchise was over, including the star, Campbell.

“I had been really apprehensive about doing another one,” Campbell told Jamie Lee Curtis in Variety’s special “House of Horror” conversation. “People had asked in the past whether I would do another one without Wes or whether I would make another one. I always felt like it’d be
too difficult to do it without Wes. He was the master of these films. He did such a beautiful job on them. We were a family.”

But after some time had passed, a new set of directors stepped up to the plate. Bettinelli-Olpin and Gillett debuted their own staple of cheeky sinfulness via the critically adored “Ready or Not.” Could this pair successfully revive “Scream,” and would Campbell go for it? To find out, the duo penned the actor a heartfelt letter laying out their intentions.

“They actually wrote me a letter and they said they basically are directors because of these films,” Campbell says. “They are directors because of Wes Craven and they’re really so excited to be a part of these films and what an honor it is to do them, and that they really want to do justice to Wes and honor his legacy.”

“That meant a lot. That letter meant a lot to me. Then I went and watched one their films and it’s brilliant and in keeping in tone. So I thought, ‘You know what, I can do this.’ I think this could be a lot of fun and a good idea. These are people who are doing it for the love of these films. So that meant something.”

The note worked, and Campbell agreed to revive Prescott almost 25 years since the debut of of the first film in 1996.

I support the second because Omar and Jada scene was iconic especially for young black actors at that time.
