It appears that there's no stopping Paramount Pictures' Scream reboot from launching in theaters on January 14. To celebrate the occasion, Paramount just dropped the last trailer for the fifth Scream film, which is full of callbacks to the original cult classic movie from 1996.
The future of Scream is in good hands
Scream appeared dead in the water for a while. The genre-defining slasher film saw three movies released in quick succession in 1996, 1997, and 2000. Unfortunately, Scream 3 wasn't well-received at the box office, resulting in the series' absence for most of the 2000s. Although Scream 4 was released in theaters in 2011 along with MTV's Scream anthology series, the untimely death of Wes Craven in 2015 meant that no one was left to helm future installments.
Luckily, the duo of Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett was up for the task.
After establishing themselves with 2019's Ready or Not, the duo was confirmed to direct the fifth Scream film. Now, Matt and Tyler will finally get a chance to show off what they've been working on all these years. Paramount has just released a 70-second trailer that teases the film's several suspenseful moments along with some on-the-nose references to some of the most iconic moments throughout the franchise.
