Release date
There is currently no release date for 'Scream 5'. However, it is expected to release in 2021, celebrating 25 years since the release of the first film.
Plot
The 'Scream' films feature a differing cast of characters who are all aware of horror movie conventions and do their best to not fall prey to them. Each film features some variation or the other of the Ghostface killer, identified by a long black robe and a ghost-like mask drawn out in a long howl, appearing as a Grim Reaper-like figure with a knife instead of a scythe. A regular through the films has been Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell), who has lived through multiple Ghostface killers, though it is unconfirmed as to whether or not she will be appearing in 'Scream 5'. However, it has been confirmed that Dewey Riley (David Arquette) will return as the Sheriff of Woodsboro, where the films are repeatedly set.
Cast
David Arquette
David Arquette is a wrestler, actor, film director, producer, screenwriter and fashion designer. He has the distinction of having appeared in all four 'Scream' films thus far and has been announced to be reprising his role in 'Scream 5'.
