Scream and Ready Or Not filmmakers Radio Silence have already snagged their new horror movie. MGM’s high school reunion horror movie, Reunion.
Reunion finds the horrific experience of high school reunions taken to a new extreme. It begins when a group of uninspired old friends becomes the only hope for survival against an unwelcome shape-shifting creature.
Guy Busick penned the script from a story he crafted with R. Christopher Murphy.
Radio Silence aka Matt Bettinelli-Olpin, Tyler Gillett, and Chad Villella (Southbound, Devil’s Due, V/H/S) will also produce. William Sherak joins them with James Vanderbilt, Paul Neinstein (Scream), Tripp Vinson (Ready or Not, The Exorcism of Emily Rose). Tara Farney will serve as executive producer on the fright flick.

Radio Silence’s Scream 5 – now officially called Scream – has wrapped filming. And recently, directors Bettinelli-Olpin and Gillett confirmed it’s – thank God – a direct sequel to Wes Craven and Kevin Williamson’s classic, not a reboot.
Gillett says: “There’s just so much weight in what those four movies are… The fact that there are so many characters that so many people want to know more about, want to have more story told with these characters. There’s just a level of love and respect for the world that Wes [Craven] and Kevin [Williamson] created.“
He continues: “So for us it felt like the only way to do this right was to create connectivity. And a lot of it is also just what the Scream movies are, right? They’re about lineage. They’re about the evolution of pop culture and the evolution of the genre. And you can’t have something new without also giving a nod to what came before it. And paying respect, and giving a bow to what followed.”
He adds: “And so for us, it felt like that was the only right way to do it. To have a connection to the past, and to find a way to create new and interesting characters that would bring a new audience and an old audience together. And hopefully, move the whole thing forward in a contemporary and terrifying and fun way.”
