Scream 7 is set to begin filming sometime this year, with Kevin Williamson set to direct the latest installment in the series he created back in the 90s. Before this news was announced, Williamson had signed on to be involved in another legendary slasher franchise from the 80s. Friday the 13th was gearing up for a comeback in the form of a series called Crystal Lake. Williamson was on board to write an episode of the Friday the 13th series, before it was canceled by A24, who were developing the project.
