Scream 5 Casts The Boys’ Jack Quaid for Major Role

Jack Quaid is set to join the Scream film franchise revival, bringing newfound gravitas from a co-starring role on hit Amazon series The Boys, for which his mawkish everyman role proved integral in selling its irreverent ultraviolence. Paramount and Spyglass Media’s revival, otherwise known as Scream 5, has cast Quaid for an unspecified role, as reported by Variety. However, Deadline goes a bit further, describing Quaid’s part as a starring role in the ensemble horror entry. Besides a breakout role as tech store nerd-turned-vengeful-vigilante Hughie Campbell on Amazon’s imminently returning comic book adaptation series, The Boys, Quaid appeared in two…

Scream 5 Release Date Set for January 2022

Scream 5, an alumni-rife reunion of a film, is now set to revive the iconic horror franchise with the reveal of its official release date.

Scream 5: David Arquette Confirmed to Return

It seems that when Scream 5 finally arrives, it will have David Arquette’s Sheriff Dewey Riley to help handle whatever version of its stabby iconic Ghostface killer ultimately manifests.

Scream 5: Neve Campbell Confirms She’s in Talks to Return

The Scream franchise’s leading lady has revealed that she’s hoping to return for the fifth instalment. The new ‘reboot’ was announced in March, with THR noting that Ready or Not directors Matthew Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett were attached to the project.
