I am thrilled to be playing Dewey again and to reunite with my ‘Scream’ family, old and new. ‘Scream’ has been such a big part of my life, and for both the fans and myself, I look forward to honoring Wes Craven’s legacy.

The new movie will be directed by the Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett – the team behind ‘Ready or Not’ – whilst Guy Busick, who also worked on the thriller, and James Vanderbilt are co-writing the screenplay.

He previously had this to say this about how he’d love to return to the saga as cop Dewey Riley

I don’t know. Who knows, what are they gonna do? Is it a whole new franchise? Are they going to bring back some [characters]. Oh it would be exciting! I love playing Dewey so I would always love to be a part of it.

Currently, Scream Queen Neve Campbell is in ”negotiations” for a fifth ‘Scream’ movie.

The 46-year-old actress is set to reprise her role as Sidney Prescott in a new installment of the slasher film franchise.

Campbell said that the project is currently on hold due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Neve said:

The conversations are being had, that’s for sure. There was a lot of talk about it. I wasn’t sure it was going to happen and I was approached six weeks ago, but the timing’s not great right now, obviously. We’re starting conversations, we’re starting negotiations, but who knows how and when studios are going to open again. The directors want to honour the work of original filmmaker Wes Craven and they have great respect for him. So that’s really lovely.
