Exclusive: Marley Shelton and Dylan Minnette talk Scream and homage to Wes Craven
Coming to theaters on Jan. 14 from Paramount Pictures is Scream, the fifth installment in the Scream franchise, co-directed by Ready or Not filmmakers Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett from a screenplay co-written by James Vanderbilt (Zodiac) and Guy Busick (Ready or Not).
Neve Campbell (“Sidney Prescott”), Courteney Cox (“Gale Weathers”) and David Arquette (“Dewey Riley”) return to their iconic roles in Scream alongside Melissa Barrera, Kyle Gallner, Mason Gooding, Mikey Madison, Dylan Minnette, Jenna Ortega, Jack Quaid, Marley Shelton, Jasmin Savoy Brown, and Sonia Ammar.
Twenty-five years after a streak of brutal murders shocked the quiet town of Woodsboro, a new killer has donned the Ghostface mask and begins targeting a group of teenagers to resurrect secrets from the town’s deadly past.
The first film, released in 1996, was a surprise smash upon its debut, helping to revive the horror genre for the decade and becoming the highest-grossing slasher movie of all-time.
Marley Shelton plays Judy Hicks, reprising her role from Scream 4. Dylan Minnette, known for his role as Clay Jensen in the Netflix drama series 13 Reasons Why, plays her son Wes. Minnette was born in 1996, the year the original film was released and written by Wes Craven, who directed the previous 4 films before his death in 2015
