Ready or Not helmers Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett take a stab at reviving the Scream franchise this coming January as they follow in the footsteps of horror legend Wes Craven by getting behind the camera for a fifth instalment in the meta slasher series, and following on from last month’s first trailer, we’ve now got a pair of posters for the new film featuring Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell) and the murderous Ghostface.
Twenty-five years after a streak of brutal murders shocked the quiet town of Woodsboro, a new killer has donned the Ghostface mask and begins targeting a group of teenagers to resurrect secrets from the town’s deadly past.
