Scream 5 will be directed by Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett (Ready or Not) from a screenplay by James Vanderbilt (Zodiac) and Guy Busick.

Vanderbilt, Paul Neinstein, and William Sherak are producing with Kevin Williamson and Chad Villella serving as executive producers.

Wes Craven re-invented and revitalised the slasher-horror genre with this modern horror classic, which manages to be funny, clever and scary, as a fright-masked knife maniac stalks high-school students in middle-class suburbia. Craven is happy to provide both tension and self-parody as the body count mounts – but the victims aren’t always the ones you’d expect.

The film sports a 79% approval rating over on Rotten Tomatoes with a Critics Consensus that reads: Horror icon Wes Craven’s subversive deconstruction of the genre is sly, witty, and surprisingly effective as a slasher film itself, even if it’s a little too cheeky for some.
