The Ghostface killer is back and out for fresh blood in Director Kevin Williamson’s horror-mystery, Scream 7.
In the seventh installment of the film series he created, Williamson takes the Director’s chair to tell the story of Sidney Prescott-Evans, a woman who has having survived several Ghostface killing sprees, but now are realizes her darkest fears as her daughter, becomes the next target.
On March 8, after the DGA membership screening in Los Angeles, Williamson discussed the making of Scream 7 during a Q&A moderated by Director Paul Feig (The Housemaid).
During the conversation, Williamson revealed what he had learned from the Director of the first Scream movies, Wes Craven.
“I learned the entire mechanics of filmmaking. I got to watch him interact with the actors, and his AD, and his cinematographer – the nuts and bolts of filmmaking... He put my head in another place that it never was before. He made me think and push myself and sort of opened my eyes to another kind of storytelling, that everything is storytelling. Every decision, every choice, every moment is part of it. There’s just never enough time.”
Williamson’s other directorial credit is the feature film Teaching Mrs. Tingle. He has been a DGA member since 1998.
