We know for certain that the upcoming Scream 7 will center on the return of Neve Campbell as Sidney Prescott, but will Courteney Cox also be returning to the franchise?

We had heard back in March that Cox was in talks to join the cast of Scream 7, but the actress reveals in a new update this week that she hasn’t officially signed on at this time.

“I’m not officially signed on,” Cox tells Variety. “I’m not, but there will be a Scream 7.”

Courteney Cox adds in the same chat, “They’re rewriting all the time,” suggesting that her character’s involvement is unclear and up in the air at the moment. Stay tuned for more.

Cox’s Gale Weathers has been part of the franchise since the very beginning, with Cox starring in every single installment in the franchise to date. While Dewey Riley was killed off in the fifth installment, Gale just keeps on surviving, most recently beating the odds in Scream VI. How many more massacres can Gale manage to survive? Is her number finally coming up?

The franchise has been mired in controversy in the past several months, with new series leads Melissa Barrera and Jenna Ortega both exiting the project. Barrera was fired, while it was subsequently announced that Ortega wouldn’t be returning. At this time, we still don’t know if Jasmin Savoy Brown or Mason Gooding will be returning for Scream 7.

Original Scream scribe Kevin Williamson will direct Scream 7. The film, which is currently untitled, was written by Guy Busick from a story by James Vanderbilt & Guy Busick.

After several months of rumors, Freddie Prinze Jr. has officially been confirmed to star in Jennifer Kaytin Robinson’s I Know What You Did Last Summer, a legacy sequel to the iconic 1997 slasher movie that will feature fresh faces alongside legacy characters.

Deadline first reported the news this afternoon. The outlet exclusively notes that Prinze Jr. will “reprise the role of Ray Bronson from the original 1997 movie and its 1998 sequel.”

According to the site, Jennifer Love Hewitt is in active negotiations to return as well.

The slasher franchise will return to theaters on July 18, 2025.

Madelyn Cline (“Outer Banks”) will star in Sony’s reboot alongside Sarah Pidgeon (“Gotham”), Tyriq Withers (“Atlanta”) and Jonah Hauer-King (The Little Mermaid).

Jennifer Kaytin Robinson (Do Revenge) is on board to direct the new installment in the franchise for Sony, with Leah McKendrick (M.F.A.) writing the original draft of the screenplay. The latest draft, however, was written by Jennifer Kaytin Robinson & Sam Lansky.

Jim Gillespie directed the original I Know What You Did Last Summer back in 1997, written by Kevin Williamson (Scream) and based on Lois Duncan’s novel. The film spawned sequels in 1998 and 2006. Jennifer Love Hewitt and Freddie Prinze Jr. only came back for that first sequel.

More recently, the franchise returned with Amazon’s short-lived television series.

Galder Gaztelu-Urrutia brings the highly anticipated sequel The Platform 2 to Netflix on October 4, and the streamer has debuted the bonkers official trailer this afternoon.

Begin the resistance by watching the official trailer for The Platform 2 below.

In Galder Gaztelu-Urrutia’s sequel, “A mysterious figure has managed to establish a new law in The Platform, but can justice truly be enforced in hell? And who will enforce it?”

Milena Smit and Hovik Keuchkerian star.

The first film is set inside a vertical prison system, where inmates are assigned to a level and forced to ration food from a platform that moves between the floors. Inmates on high floors eat better than those below, and one man tries to effect change so everyone gets enough.

Rafael reviewed The Platform for us at TIFF, raving in his 4.5-star write-up: “The Platform takes full advantage of its isolated setting and small cast to instead focus on a high concept, a tight script, and sharp dialogue that will make you laugh as often as it will make you think. This is a funny, heartfelt, at times disgusting, yet also thought-provoking sci-fi thriller that reminds of Bong Joon-ho’s Snowpiercer, but with way better food.”

The Platform also made Daniel Kurland’s Best International Horror Films of 2020 list.

The politicians are no help and not okay in genre-bending apocalyptic horror movie Rumours, and a new trailer highlights the satire.

Rumours releases in theaters on October 18, 2024.

About the film: “Ricocheting between comedy, apocalyptic horror, and swooning soap opera, Rumours follows the seven leaders of the world’s wealthiest democracies at the annual G7 summit, where they attempt to draft a provisional statement regarding a global crisis. With unexpected, uproarious performances from a brilliant ensemble cast that includes Cate Blanchett, Alicia Vikander, and Charles Dance, these so-called leaders become spectacles of incompetence, contending with increasingly surreal obstacles in the misty woods as night falls and they realize they are suddenly alone. A genre-hopping satire of political ineptitude, the latest film from incomparable directors Guy Maddin, Evan Johnson and Galen Johnson is a journey into the absurd heart of power and institutional failure in a slowly burning world.”

The film was written and directed by Guy Maddin, Evan Johnson, and Galen Johnson.

Cate Blanchett, Roy Dupuis, Nikki Amuka-Bird, Charles Dance, Takehiro Hira, Denis Ménochet, Rolando Ravello, Zlatko Buric, and Alicia Vikander star.

The film was executive produced by Ari Aster, Cate Blanchett, Phyllis Laing, Jorg Schulze, Joe Neurauter, Tyler Campellone, Adrian Love, Michael O’Leary, Andrew Karpen, and Kent Sanderson. Liz Jarvis, Philipp Kreuzer, and Lars Knudsen produced.

Watch the trailer for the film described as “Night of the Living Dead meets Dr. Strangelove” below.
