Emma Roberts on Potential ‘Scream’ Return: “I Feel Like I Wasn’t Done With Scream”
Is anyone really ever dead in the Scream franchise? Unless they’re shot between eyes like Billy Loomis – who even still managed to make a return in this year’s Scream – there’s always a chance a Scream character can come back; after all, Hayden Panettiere is returning in next year’s Scream 6 years after being “killed off” in Scream 4. But what about Jill Roberts?
Emma Roberts played Sidney’s cousin in Scream 4, who of course turns out to be the mastermind behind the Ghostface killings. Wes Craven’s final sequel ends with Jill being shot through the chest by Sidney Prescott, presumably killing her off for good. But sometimes, as we’ve learned, the supposedly dead killer has a tendency to come back for one last fright…
Speaking with Dread Central this week, Emma Roberts was asked which horror franchise she’d most like to join. Her response? “I don’t know… maybe I’d go back to Scream.”
Roberts continues, “I feel like I wasn’t done with Scream.”
Anything is possible in the world of the Scream franchise, so we’re not ruling out another appearance from Jill Roberts just yet. If Kirby is still alive, well, who knows who else might be…
Filming is underway on The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man for Universal and Blumhouse, which will be howling its way into theaters on January 17, 2025.
Deadline reports that Matilda Firth (Disenchanted) is the latest actor to sign on, joining Christopher Abbott (Poor Things), Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel), and Sam Jaeger.
The project will mark Whannell’s second monster movie and fourth directing collaboration with Blumhouse Productions (The Invisible Man, Upgrade, Insidious: Chapter 3).
Wolf Man stars Christopher Abbott as a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.
Writers include Whannell & Corbett Tuck as well as Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo.
Jason Blum is producing the film. Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Whannell are executive producers. Wolf Man is a Blumhouse and Motel Movies production.
In the wake of the failed Dark Universe, Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man has been the only real success story for the Universal Monsters brand, which has been struggling with recent box office flops including the comedic Renfield and period horror movie The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Giving him the keys to the castle once more seems like a wise idea, to say the least.
