"That's a wrap on Scream, which I'm excited to announce is the official title of the next film!" he announced. "Nearly 25 years ago, when I wrote Scream and Wes Craven brought it to life, I could not have imagined the lasting impact it would have on you, the fans."
"I'm excited for you to return to Woodsboro and get really scared again," he added, saying he believes Craven "wouldn't been so proud" of the movie directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett made.
He said he was "thrilled" to reunite with Campbell, Courteney, David Arquette and Marley Shelton -- who played Deputy Judy Hicks in "Scream 4" -- on the film and praised "the new filmmaking team and incredible cast of newcomers that have come together to continue Wes' legacy with the upcoming relaunch of the franchise that I hold so dear to my heart."
