'Scream 5' Cast Were Given Fake Scripts For This Reason!

The cast of Scream 5 had fake scripts!

The cast of the highly anticipated next installment in the Scream franchise just wrapped production on the movie in October, and now, producer William Sherak is opening up about the movie with Cinema Blend.

During the chat, William confirmed that some of the cast don’t actually know the identity of Ghostface in the sequel. And to keep that a secret, they handed out multiple versions of the script during filming.

“I think the two things to remember for us. One is there are multiple versions of the draft out there and most of the cast don’t know if they have the right version or not. So, we’ve been playing that game with them as well. And the fun of a Scream movie is that everyone is guilty until proven innocent, not the other way around. So, the goal is to keep that going for as long as possible and have fun with it,” he explained.

The movie is set to hit theaters on January 14, 2022.

The film stars Melissa Barrera, Kyle Gallner, Mason Gooding, Mikey Madison, Dylan Minnette, Jenna Ortega, Jack Quaid, Marley Shelton, Sonia Ammar, and Jasmin Savoy Brown. Original stars Courteney Cox, David Arquette and Neve Campbell are also starring!

Executive producer Kevin Williamson announced, “That’s a wrap on Scream, which I’m excited to announce is the official title of the next film! Nearly 25 years ago, when I wrote Scream and Wes Craven brought it to life, I could not have imagined the lasting impact it would have on you, the fans. I’m excited for you to return to Woodsboro and get really scared again. I believe Wes would’ve been so proud of the film that Matt and Tyler are making. I’m thrilled to be reunited with Neve, Courteney, David and Marley, and to be working alongside a new filmmaking team and incredible cast of newcomers that have come together to continue Wes’s legacy with the upcoming relaunch of the franchise that I hold so dear to my heart. See you in theatres January 2022. #ScreamMovie @ScreamMovies.”

Neve Campbell Was Apprehensive To Join 'Scream 5' For This Reason

Neve Campbell is opening up about her decision to return for the upcoming Scream movie, after starring in the original movies more than a decade ago.

The 47-year-old actress spoke about her return to the franchise and how she was on the fence about it.

“I’m excited to get back to it. I’m excited to see Courteney [Cox] and David [Arquette]. I’m excited to see this young new cast. I’m excited to work with these new directors,” Neve shared while appearing on The Talk this week.

Neve does admit she “had been apprehensive because, you know, our director, our incredible director Wes Craven passed away, and I wasn’t sure about doing a film without him.”

“But the new directors came to me with this beautiful letter saying that they’ve become directors and love film because of these films, and because of Wes, and they really want to be true to his story and his journey with these films. So, I was really happy to hear that,” she added.
