SCREAM 5 is a proposed fifth entry in the Scream franchise taking place eighteen years after the events of Scream 4.

This'll be one of the many horror franchises I'll take an attempt to bring to the light under Hart Entertainment brand. It took me a little over a year and half to completely flesh out the story in its entirety.

The story was written by myself shortly after becoming a fan of the series and also at a late stage in my life becoming a fan of Wes Craven (and his extensive filmography). Scream films have always brought me a sense of escapism through humor and scares when I went through a very hard period of my life.

Scream 4 is personally my favorite Scream film just because it took that passing of the torch thing and turned it on its head with Jill. The idea of Jill doing all that she did killing her friends, her mother, and targeting Sidney all in the name of fame was brilliant writing by Kevin Williamson and Wes Craven. But I am one to believe there is no bad Scream.

The success of Halloween 2018 was sort of the catalyst for me personally taking on the responsibility of writing this story.

I wanted to tell a Scream story for modern day audiences the same way David Gordon Green (Director of Halloween 2018 and Halloween Kills) brought a modern audience to Halloween.

The heart of the story that I hope translate over well is a story about love ultimately because that's what the first two films were about in ways. I think some of the most poignant moments in Sidney's life was when Billy Loomis betrayed her and when Derek Feldman died for her. Those lost relationships for the greater good or bad help shape Sidney.

Outside of Halloween 2018 being a big influence on my story films like Love Simon and Perks of Being A Wallflower played big parts in how I wrote out and executed certain dramatic plot beats.

This is a story about very different and unique young adults in Highschool. Of course the OG's are returning but the dramatic beats around the new group of characters leading with Derek are fleshed out and put front stage and center.

It was also fun and heart warming for me as a fan to seriously write for the returning OG's. I didn't want to just play up caricatures of the characters from any previous film but I did a lot of thinking on how to naturally progress the characters and present them to modern viewers. The focus is mostly on the new generation of characters but I also want Sidney, Dewey, and Gale to be important.

The story will be broken down into three bodily section titled the First Act i, Second Act ii, and the Third Act iii. The begining, the middle and the end.

This story means the world to me. And I want to do my best to make it a cinematic and overall great experience filled with humor, thrills, suspense, and even a little terror. Thank you to Wes Craven and the Scream fandom. I love you all.
