LOS ANGELES (June 24, 2020)— Spyglass Media Group, LLC ("Spyglass") and Paramount Pictures confirmed today they will co-produce the relaunch of "Scream." Starring David Arquette, the film is being directed by Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett of the filmmaking group Radio Silence ("Ready or Not," "V/H/S") from a screenplay by James Vanderbilt ("Murder Mystery," "Zodiac," "The Amazing Spider-Man") and Guy Busick ("Ready or Not," "Castle Rock"). Project X Entertainment's Vanderbilt, Paul Neinstein and William Sherak are serving as producers while creator Kevin Williamson and the third member of the Radio Silence trio, Chad Villella, are executive producing.
