Original cast of hit 90s thriller 'Scream' reunite for terrifying new sequel

The original cast of Scream – Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, and David Arquette – have reunited for the brand new Scream sequel.

This new spin on the classic slasher flick picks up twenty-five years after the streak of brutal murders that shocked the quiet town of Woodsboro.

Now a new killer has donned the iconic and terrifying Ghostface mask and begins targeting a group of teenagers to resurrect secrets from the town’s deadly past.

The original trio return to their iconic roles - Neve Sidney Prescott, Courteney as Gale Weathers, and David as Dewey Riley - in the 2022 version of Scream alongside Melissa Barrera, Kyle Gallner, Mason Gooding, Mikey Madison, Dylan Minnette, Jenna Ortega, Jack Quaid, Marley Shelton, Jasmin Savoy Brown, and Sonia Ammar.

The movie is also directed by Matt Bettinelli-Olpin & Tyler Gillett.

David and Courteney both opened up about working together again.

"It's a cathartic experience to just be able to act opposite Courteney,” David admitted. "It's been 25 years of our lives. We've grown up together. We have a child together."

Courtney compared it to the Friends reunion she did last year and explained: "It was such an
emotional thing to come back. I had the same feeling when I walked on the set of Friends. I got really teary-eyed then too."

Scream hits New Zealand theatres tomorrow, Thursday, January 13.
