‘Scream 6’ causes panic in the run-up to the Super Bowl

Ghostface invades the Super Bowl, with a new teaser trailer for it Scream 6 arrive for the big game.

A year ago, the film team known as Radio Silence successfully relaunched the franchise scream, a film that introduced a number of new characters, teaming up with legacy actors such as Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, and David Arquette. It made $140 million worldwide and was propelled scream in a new direction.

This time, Cox returns along with Melissa Barrera, Jenna Ortega, Mason Gooding and Jasmin Savoy Brown. Hayden Panettiere is also back for the first time since then Scream 4 (2011). Scream 6 picks up with the protagonists leaving Woodsboro for New York, where they are stalked by a new Ghostface.

In the Super Bowl spot (below), released early Wednesday, Ghostface terrorizes the main group in their new NYC home, as they are told, “This isn’t like any other Ghostface.” The first look, which lasts just under a minute, features returning original star Cox and ends with a scream from Ortega reminiscent of the one made famous by original star Campbell (who didn’t return for this sequel due to disagreements over salary).

Jack Champion, Henry Czerny, Liana Liberato, Dermot Mulroney, Devyn Nekoda, Tony Revolori, Josh Segarra and Samara Weaving also star.

The franchise began in 1996 with the Wes Craven-directed hit that was written by Kevin Williamson. In recent years scream was the first in the series to be produced since the death of the horror maestro and the first he did not direct. It is known for breaking genre conventions, with the most recent episode addressing issues such as “exalted horror” and referencing backlash over films such as Star Wars: The Last Jedi.

Earlier, Radio Silence member Chad Villella told executive producer The Hollywood Reporter of the team’s follow-up philosophy: “To make it special, you have to subvert things that are set as new rules and play outside those parameters. Let’s break the rules now that we’ve just recreated them. And just go for it. I think you really should go there.”

Also on Wednesday, Paramount Pictures and Spyglass Media Group announced a fan event on March 9 ahead of its release as it marks the first in the franchise to be released in 3D. Tickets for the fan event, on sale now, give fans access to a 3D screening at participating theaters across the country and include “special content” for the event.

“scream fans are among the most loyal and passionate out there, and we couldn’t be more thrilled to bring them this latest terrifying chapter like never before, in a visceral 3D format,” Paramount Pictures President of Domestic Distribution Chris Aronson said in a statement. .“In this iteration, the scream universe moves beyond Woodsboro and into New York City, and the Big Apple called for even greater fears, surprises and terrifying twists. We can’t wait for fans to see what Ghostface has in store for them this time around.”

A Project X Entertainment Productions and a Radio Silence Film, Scream 6 is directed by Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, written by James Vanderbilt and Guy Busick, and based on characters created by Kevin Williamson.
