Radio Silence—administrators Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, and producer Chad Villella—efficiently rebooted one among horror’s largest franchises with Scream and Scream VI. Now they’ve tapped the star of these movies, Melissa Barrera, to affix one other film reviving a beloved property from horror’s previous, within the type of a mysterious Universal Monster venture.
Deadline broke the information of this wonderful re-team, although sadly there are valuable few different particulars about what’s at the moment titled “Untitled Monster Thriller,” which has a script by Stephen Shields (The Gap within the Floor) that was revised by Man Busick (Prepared or Not, Scream, Scream VI). The commerce notes that Radio Silence has been creating this movie for awhile—it’ll be a part of Common’s post-Dark Universe push towards standalone releases (see: The Invisible Man, Renfield) utilizing its basic monsters in recent, modernized tales—however the success of Scream and its rapidly greenlit follow-up meant they’d Ghostface-adjacent commitments to take care of first.
In keeping with Deadline, “Whereas they started assembly with different expertise, it grew to become evident fairly rapidly that Barrera was the proper match for the function following two profitable shoots with the rising star and supplied her the half.” After this venture, you possibly can go forward and change “rising star” with “scream queen.” There’s no phrase but on after we can count on this one to drop—might it probably come collectively as quickly as Scream VI did?—however our fundamental concern for the time being is which monster from among the many Common firmament will likely be headlining this one. We’re additionally hoping this venture will make Radio Silence overlook about that Escape From New York reboot they lately added to their schedule.
