'Scream 6' Given Greenlight by Paramount, Spyglass

Spyglass and Paramount announced they have given the greenlight to move forward with the next installment of Scream (working title Scream 6).

Returning are Radio Silence (Ready or Not, V/H/S) with Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett at the helm and James Vanderbilt (Murder Mystery, Zodiac) and Guy Busick (Ready or Not, Castle Rock) co-writing the screenplay. Project X Entertainment’s Vanderbilt, Paul Neinstein and William Sherak are serving as producers (Ambulance). Creator Kevin Williamson and the third member of Radio Silence, Chad Villella, are executive producing alongside Spyglass’ Gary Barber and Peter Oillataguerre.

Principal photography is slated to begin this summer. Keeping with Scream tradition, plot details are under wraps. No casting announcements have been made yet.

Vanderbilt and Busick said, “Is this real life? Getting to collaborate once again with our friends on the next installment of the ‘Scream’ story is more than we could have hoped for. We are overwhelmed that we get to continue to play in the sandbox that Kevin and Wes created. It is, as Ghostface would say, an honor.”
