Kevin Williamson is preparing to direct Scream 7, with shooting set to begin sometime this year, for a potential release in theaters in 2025. It's been nearly 30 years since Williamson wrote the original Scream, with the remote locations used in the movie adding to the tension. In 2022, Williamson wrote the tense slasher, Sick, directed by John Hyams, and the remote setting was reminiscent of the vibe created in Scream in 1996, with a house in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by a wooded area, with a killer on the loose.
