Dafoe’s nearly five-decade career will bring a certain sense of gravitas to the set of young actors who hope to build a career with the same longevity. 

After a brief jaunt in Connecticut that ended with a high body count, Courteney Cox is in talks to return to Woodsboro for the newest Scream sequel.

Franchise creator Kevin Williamson will be at the helm after director Christopher Landon stepped down amidst controversy. Spyglass is said to have revamped the script after Jenna Ortega’s departure and Melissa Berrera’s firing, so word is still out as to whether or not newer additions to the franchise like Jasmin Savoy Brown and Mason Gooding will be returning.
