Scream 7 Fun Facts:
The Return of the "Queen" and the "Creator":
The most exciting news is that Neve Campbell is returning as Sidney Prescott. She wasn't in Scream VI because of a disagreement over her pay, but now she is back as the main character in Scream 7. In another big change, Kevin Williamson is directing the movie. He is the creator of the very first Scream in 1996. Even though he created the series, this is the first time he has ever directed a full-length movie.
A Family Dynamic:
The story is now shifting from the Carpenter sisters back to the Prescott family. Isabel May (star of 1883) plays the role of Sidney's daughter. Her character's name is Tatum, named after Sidney's best friend (played by Rose McGowan), who died in the first movie. Joel McHale plays the role of Sidney's husband. His character's name is Mark Evan, replacing Patrick Dempsey from Scream 3.
Legacy Cast Return:
Actor Matthew Lillard often jokes with fans online about returning. Even though his character (Stu Macher) died in the first movie, many fans believe he is still alive. It has been confirmed Matthew Lillard has joined the cast again; there is much anticipation to see how his character will be brought back to life.
There is also speculation that the original characters like Roman Bridger (played by Scott Foley) and Dewey Riley (played by David Arquette) might return. It has also been confirmed Scott Foley and David Arquette will be reprising their roles. Since their characters are dead, they would most likely show up in flashbacks.
Production Secrecy:
Unlike the last two movies, which had many leaks, Scream 7 is the most secret movie in the series so far. To keep everything hidden, the crew filmed under the fake name "Scar Tissue." The studio even used fake scripts so that no one knows who the real killer is.
New Setting:
Even though the Scream movie series takes place in Woodsboro, the seventh installment is set in a new, fictional town called Pine Grove, Indiana. This is where Sidney has been trying to live a normal, quiet life.
