Rewind of the Living Dead takes a deep dive on the new “Scream” film and how this latest sequel carries on one of horror’s most popular franchises…
As far back as 2011 just after the release of “Scream 4,” there were talks about a fifth film in the series being developed by director Wes Craven and writer Kevin Williamson.

It wasn’t until 2019 when Spyglass Media Group acquired the rights to “Scream” and then four months later it was announced that the same creative team behind the surprise horror hit “Ready or Not” would be writing and directing the newest film in the series. Soon after Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox and David Arquette signed on to return to for “Scream 5,” which at this point was just being called “Scream” again with filming taking place in Wilmington, North Carolina.
