A new featurette has been released for Scream, the fifth installment of the Scream movie series. Partly a reboot and partly a sequel, the idea of the new movie is to relaunch the franchise with some connections to the prior movies. A handful of legacy cast members are featured, but the cast will mostly consist of newcomers, all of which could potentially be revealed as the new Ghostface. The new featurette focuses on these new characters.

"This new young cast, they did a great job," Neve Campbell says in the video. Courteney Cox shares a similar opinion by noting, "They are so enthusiastic and they are all great actors." David Arquette adds that it's really "incredible" to "see them bringing a new perspective to the franchise will still honoring the past."

The new featurette also teases how the new characters are all suspects; this echoes the final poster which states directly at the bottom, "The killer is on this poster." We can even see in the video how there will be subtle clues given pointing to different characters as possible Ghostface suspects. Some might be accurate while others will be red herrings. The question is if, upon your first time watching the movie, you'll be able to determine the true identity of the killer before the inevitable unmasking scene at the end.

"This new cast of characters is so wonderful," co-director Tyler Gillett told Total Film, teasing the filmmakers' desire to launch a new movie series. "The legacy cast, they're so wonderful. I think what we discovered, and what [screenwriters] Guy [Busick] and James [Vanderbilt] did, is they found a real reason for the next story to exist. We know that there is more gas in the tank. There are more stories to be told in Woodsboro, and about these characters, for sure."

"There's the legacy cast, and how they infuse this new world and there's this whole new generation and a new cast of characters that are extremely fun," executive producer Kevin Williamson added, via US Weekly. "I think it was a great cast. It's an amazing group of kids and young talent and they're very, very good. They pop off the screen, and now our Sidney and our mature characters who enter into it, they're the adults. It works really really well."

The official synopsis for Scream reads: "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. 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."

Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett co-direct the movie using a screenplay by James Vanderbilt and Guy Busick. Original screenwriter Kevin Williamson executive produces alongside Chad Villella, Gary Barber, Peter Oillataguerre, Ron Lynch, Cathy Konrad, and Marianne Maddalena.

Scream will be released in theaters on Jan. 14, 2022.
