First reviews for new Scream film are extreme positive
Early reviews for 2022’s Scream are flooding in, and critics can’t seem to get enough of the latest chapter in the franchise, praising the film’s cast and how well it has honoured the legacy.
Scream (the fifth film in the series) is set 25 years after the events of the first movie; Woodsboro is once again plagued by a string of murders committed by the iconic yet deadly killer, Ghostface.
Reviews for Scream appear to all be positive, as critics are loving the brutal kills, the cast’s performances, as well as having an adoration for how the film pays tribute to original director Wes Craven’s legacy.
Scream will be in cinemas on January 14th, 2022.
Audrey Hepburn biopic casts Rooney Mara in titular role
Rooney Mara, who stars in upcoming feature Nightmare Alley, has been cast to play industry icon Audrey Hepburn in an Apple biopic about her life, with Luca Guadagnino set to direct.
There is little information available in regard to the film’s timetable, or even a title. Apple has a lot on its plate at the moment, so the movie may take some time getting to the screen.
Regardless of when it releases, it is likely to draw a great amount of interest as biopics seem to be taking the media world by storm, as House of Gucci, for example, did very well with audiences.
