Lige siden midt 90érne har ‘Scream’ filmene, budt på et friskt pust til den klassiske “slasher” genre og omfavnet de kendte regler der skal være til stede i en gyserfilm. Her næsten et årti, efter ‘Scream 4’ udkom, er en femte film i støbeskeen. Det er ‘Ready or Not’ instruktørene Matt Bettinelli-Olpin og Tyler Gillett, der skal instruere ‘Scream 5’ og selvom filmen kun er i pre-production og bluset ned på grund af Coronavirus pandemien, så er Neve Campbell på tale til at genoptage sin rolle som Sidney Prescott.
Neve Campbell udtalte følgende til Rotten Tomatoes:
“We’re having conversations – I have been approached about it,” the actor confirmed to Rotten Tomatoes. “The timing’s a bit challenging because of Covid. You know, we only started the conversation maybe a month and a half ago, so it’s going to take some time to figure out how it’s all going to work out…. We’re negotiating, so we’ll see.” Campbell also opened up about continuing the series without legendary director Wes Craven, who helmed all four films in the franchise and passed away in 2015. “The two directors wrote me a very touching letter about Wes Craven and how he was such an inspiration to them and how they really want to honour him, and that meant a great, great deal to me,” she said. “So we’ll see. Hopefully we can all see eye to eye on the project and find a way to make it.”
Det bliver spændende at se om Neve Campbell vender tilbage, til gyser-franchisen hun blev kendt for og om ‘Scream 5’ stadigvæk formår, at holde sig aktuel her i 2020. Den er hvert fald i gode hænder hos, Matt Bettinelli-Olpin og Tyler Gillett.
