David Arquette has joined the cast of a new “Scream” movie that is in the works from the directors of “Ready or Not” and Spyglass Media Group, the company’s president of production Peter Oillataguerre announced Monday.
Plot details are being kept under wraps, but Arquette will reprise his role as Dewey Riley dating back to the original 1996 horror film “Scream” and will continue to pursue the mysterious killer Ghostface.
Though Arquette is the first member of the film’s ensemble to be officially announced, the filmmakers are in conversation with other legacy cast members.

Principal photography will begin later this year in Wilmington, North Carolina when safety protocols are in place.
Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, better known as the filmmaking team Radio Silence, will direct the film. James Vanderbilt (“Murder Mystery,” “Zodiac,” “The Amazing Spider-Man”) and Guy Busick (“Ready or Not,” “Castle Rock”) are co-writing the screenplay.
“I am thrilled to be playing Dewey again and to reunite with my ‘Scream’ family, old and new. ‘Scream’ has been such a big part of my life, and for both the fans and myself, I look forward to honoring Wes Craven’s legacy,” Arquette said in a statement.
