We just had time to report the fun online game of Scream, which Paramount Pictures pulls from the hat the final trailer of the film.
Don’t expect big revelations: while containing various unreleased scenes, the trailer is careful not to spoil anything. Also because much of the attention, in its extended commercial duration, is dedicated to the praise of the critics, the same ones that we reported a few days ago .
However, this new incarnation of Ghostface hunts down a group of Woodsboro teenagers, all linked to the characters from the first film: Sidney must then return to action alongside Gale and Dewey to stop the killer. Directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett (the same ones from Till Death Do Us Part ) have picked up the baton of the late Wes Craven , and it will be interesting to find out if they have prepared anything unsettling. Seeing Ghostface with metal mask and flamethrower is already a novelty, but we hope there is also something more substantial.
The release is expected for January 13 in Italian cinemas, with distribution by Eagle Pictures . You will find the trailer below.

The franchise moved to the small screen in 2015, in an MTV series that lasted two seasons. A third season – actually unrelated to the previous two – aired in 2019 on VH1.
