Scream’s All-Star Cast Through the Years – msnNOW

Whats your favorite scary movie? For many, the answer might be one of the many Scream flicks.

The first-ever Scream film, written by Kevin Williamson and directed by Wes Craven, debuted in 1996. Its popularity was met with massive success that would later spawn a booming franchise that included three additional films in 1997, 2000 and 2011.

Neve Campbell (Sydney Prescott), Courteney Cox (Gale Weathers) and David Arquette (Dwight Dewey Riley) have starred in all four Scream films. However, the horror series has also seen other major stars nab roles in its various installments over the years including Drew Barrymore, Emma Roberts, Liev Schreiber, Jada Pinkett Smith, Jamie Kennedy and Laurie Metcalf.

In 2016, Campbell reflected on the original Screams legacy on its 20th anniversary. She also admitted that the cast never expected the slasher flick to become a pop culture staple in the horror genre.

We had no idea [how big itd be]. We knew it was a good script and we knew Wes Craven was amazing, but when we started we were shooting in Santa Rosa none of us really had names yet, she previously said on Good Morning America. None of us were famous except for Drew Barrymore.

The Skyscraper actress added, We joked, Do you think [Ghostface] would be a Halloween costume? But we had no idea there actually would be.

A few years after Scream 4 hit theaters, the slasher film franchise was adapted into a television series for MTV in 2015. It was later moved over to VH1 for its third season in 2019, but there hasnt been any confirmation as to whether it will return for a fourth season.

In the midst of Screams first season, Craven who is also behind the A Nightmare on Elm Street franchise died in his Los Angeles home after suffering a brain tumor. He was 76.

Years after Cravens death, rumblings about a fifth Scream film had circulated. It was later announced in April 2020 that Ready or Not filmmakers Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett would direct the fifth installment.

Campbell expressed to YouTuber Jake Hamilton in May 2020 that she was apprehensive about doing a Scream film without Craven. Though she is not yet confirmed for Scream 5, Cox and Arquette are set to return for the film thats slated to debut in 2022.
