Radio Silence’s Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett are deep into production on Scream 6, which brings Ghostface to New York City.
Among the massive cast is Dermot Mulroney, who has recently appeared in horror films including Insidious: Chapter 3 and Umma.
Mulroney not only confirms he’s playing a cop in the upcoming sixth installment of the Scream franchise, but that he also has a deep connection to the Ghostface killer.
“Yeah, I play a cop, so finally they’re asking me to play cops here and there, this is one of them,” he tells Screenrant.
“I guess I shouldn’t say that my daughter is one of the victims…
He continues, “but I don’t have to describe how or in what way, so that’s what draws me into the story is strong family ties.”
Stars have aligned on Scream 6, which will also feature the highly anticipated return of Hayden Panettiere as Scream 4‘s Kirby Reed. Courteney Cox will also reprise her role as fan-favorite Gale Weathers.
Melissa Barrera (“Sam”), Jasmin Savoy Brown (“Mindy”), Mason Gooding (“Chad”), Jenna Ortega (“Tara”), and Dermot Mulroney are all confirmed for the next installment of Spyglass Media and Paramount Pictures’ Scream film franchise.
Jack Champion (Avatar: The Way of Water), Liana Liberato (The Beach House), Devyn Nekoda (“Ghostwriter”), Josh Segarra (“Arrow), and Henry Czerny (Ready or Not) also star.
Last week, Bloody Disgusting exclusively reported that horror maven Samara Weaving (Ready or Not, Mayhem, The Babysitter, “Ash vs Evil Dead”) also joined the cast.
In the brand new movie, “The Scream saga continues with the four survivors of the Ghostface killings as they leave Woodsboro behind and start a fresh chapter.”
Fans can expect the next Scream to release in theatres worldwide on March 31, 2023.
