Kevin Williamson is preparing to direct the upcoming Scream 7, after being personally asked to helm the project by Neve Campbell, who is returning to the franchise to play the iconic final girl, Sidney Prescott. Williamson created the Scream series back in the 90s, and saw his star rise rapidly, and he actually ended up being hired to rewrite large chunks of Halloween H20, but was never given a co-writer credit for it.
