Dermot Mulroney to star in the next Scream movie

Dermot Mulroney has signed on to star in the next “Scream” movie. The “My Best Friend’s Wedding” star has been named as the latest addition to the sixth instalment of the horror franchise that is being helmed by directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, who took over from Wes Craven, who died, aged 76, from a brain tumour in 2015, and writers Guy Busick and James Vanderbilt. The role of the 58-year-old actor is being mainly kept top secret, but the “Hollywood Reporter” says his character will be a police officer.

Other plot details are tight-lipped too, the only snippet revealed being that those left will “leave Woodsboro behind and start a fresh chapter”, according to a synopsis.

Melissa Barrera, Mason Gooding, Jasmin Savoy Brown and Jenna Ortega are also all confirmed to reprise their roles after making their “Scream” debut in the 2022 reboot. They will join Hayden Panettiere, who has not featured in the series since “Scream 4”, who is coming back as Kirby Reed.

Courteney Cox, who has played television reporter Gale Weathers since the 1996 original that starred Neve Campbell, David Arquette and Drew Barrymore, is also enlisted. Paramount and Spyglass confirmed the news of the sixth movie in February in a statement.

They said: “We are tremendously grateful to the fans around the world who enthusiastically received our film. We can’t wait for audiences to see what Radio Silence, writers Jamie Guy and Project X have in store for our Woodsboro family.”

Matt and Tyler added: “Working with such a wonderful and talented family of creators – and in the lineage Wes and Kevin (Williamson) so expertly built – has been the thrill of a lifetime, and we’re so excited to bring the next chapter in the ‘Scream’ saga to life.
