Two Events for Competitive ‘Scream’ Documentaries
For those of you keeping tabs, there are a pair of Scream documentaries arriving this year.
The first, “Scream: The Inside Story” will air on A&E’s Bio 8pm ET/5pm PT on Wednesday, April 6th. Director Dan Farrands, and writer Thommy Hutson, will be joining Dread Central for a live chat-enabled commentary during the documentary’s television premiere.
On the other spectrum, Still Screaming: The Ultimate Scary Movie Retrospective, Ryan Turek’s feature-length documentary on the Scream trilogy, will be holding its world premiere at the Sunset 5 in Los Angeles on Thursday, April 14 at 10pm. You’re all invited.
“A lot of people involved in the series sat down for me to talk about the ups and downs of making the films, including Neve, Wes, Jamie, Arquette, Ehren Kruger, Parker Posey, etc. and I tossed in a few surprises,” says Turek. “This thing digs a bit into the series’ themes, the origins, the script problems, the conflicts with Dimension, the MPAA, the Santa Rosa school board and more.”
Inside you’ll find the official trailer debut, but if you want to be a guest at the world premiere all you have to do is RSVP to stillscreamingrsvp@gmail.com. Seating will be on a first come first serve basis, so even if you receive confirmation that you are on the list, make sure you get there early to secure your seat!
One of this summer’s most hotly anticipated new movies is A24 and Ti West’s MaXXXine, a follow-up to X and Pearl that brings Mia Goth’s title character into the 1980s.
With her past catching up to her, Maxine attempts to make it big as a superstar in Hollywood, 1985. While you wait, check out a new image below courtesy of USA Today this week.
Releasing in theaters on July 5, 2024, MaXXXine is rated “R” for…
“Strong violence, gore, sexual content, graphic nudity, language and drug use.”
If you missed the official trailer, you can watch it right here.
Mia Goth stars alongside Elizabeth Debicki, Moses Sumney, Michelle Monaghan, Bobby Cannavale, Halsey, Lily Collins, Giancarlo Esposito and Kevin Bacon in MaXXXine.
Here’s the official plot synopsis from A24 this week: “In 1980s Hollywood, adult film star and aspiring actress Maxine Minx finally gets her big break. But as a mysterious killer stalks the starlets of Hollywood, a trail of blood threatens to reveal her sinister past.”
Last we saw Maxine in Ti West’s X (2022), she was the sole survivor of a massacre carried out by elderly couple Howard and Pearl in the Summer of ’79. Goth of course pulled double duty as the villain Pearl in that movie, who got her own origin story in Pearl (2022). Pearl and Maxine are different characters, but they share the common goal of wanting to be stars.
Will Maxine finally make it in Hollywood? Or will the demons of her past become her ultimate downfall? With the Night Stalker roaming free, we expect MaXXXine to get wild this summer.
