Radio Silence—administrators Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, and producer Chad Villella—efficiently rebooted certainly one of horror’s greatest franchises with Scream and Scream VI. Now they’ve tapped the star of these movies, Melissa Barrera, to hitch 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 treasured few different particulars about what’s presently 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 traditional 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 turned evident fairly rapidly that Barrera was the right 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 exchange “rising star” with “scream queen.” There’s no phrase but on after we can anticipate this one to drop—might it probably come collectively as quickly as Scream VI did?—however our major concern in the mean time is which monster from among the many Common firmament will probably be headlining this one. We’re additionally hoping this venture will make Radio Silence overlook about that Escape From New York reboot they not too long ago added to their schedule.
