Scream VI Director Teases 'Bolder, Cheekier Faces'

"It's rocket fuel."

We've been hearing a lot about the upcoming release of Scream VI. After Alamo Drafthouse's latest synopsis was debunked, there's been some confusion over how the film will end. And, while the incorrect plot description promises a more psychologically-driven horror film, directors Taylor Gillette and Matt Bettinelli-Olpin promise viewers they'll still get "bolder than ever" , more cheeky grimaces".

In an interview with GamesRadar, the filmmaking duo revealed that if last year's Scream was a hit, they already have plans for where the remake's story will go. As we now know, the feature was killed at the box office, which quickly gave the green light for an upcoming follow-up. Because they were able to see things from a wider perspective, Gillett said the team was able to shape Scream VI to "confidently be what it is."

Like its predecessors, Scream VI "runs like rocket fuel" from the opening credits to the end credits. "You sit down, it starts, and the movie is just a ride," Gillette said, adding that as audiences rose from their seats Two hours later, they might feel, "Like you're not breathing."

Scream Games newcomers Bettinelli-Olpin and Gillett take up the torch from the late Wes Craven and carry the 2022 Scream start running. The team's melding of old and new has managed to recall fans of the historic franchise while attracting a new following. Bettinelli-Olpin says the same is true for the latest horror film, with the team set out to "make it unique while still having all the things you love."

Scream VI will be reunited with sister Sam ( Melissa Barrera) and Tara Carpenter (Jenna Ortega) leave Woodsboro for New York City. There they will be joined by the familiar faces of Chad (Mason Gooding) and Mindy Meeks-Martin (Jasmine Savoy Brown), where they will collide with another ghostly face. While Neve Campbell won't be returning to reprise her role as Sidney Prescott, Courteney Cox will return as Gale Weathers, and Hayden Panettiere will reprise her role in Kirby Reed in Scream 4. Dermot Mulroney and Samara Weaving will also join the cast.

Although the original crew had left Woodsboro twice before Ohio in Scream 2 and Los Angeles in Scream 3, the setting of the Big Apple will prove to be the chaotic killing field for the next Ghostface. Scream VI opens in theaters on March 10. You can check out the trailer below.
