When a film or television series goes to casting, they often use a fake name to cloak the production from eagle-eyed reporters like myself. With that said, the casting call for MTV’s Scream remake series isn’t cloaking anything, so maybe it’s actually going by the title “Hush”?
Thanks to Bloody reader Curtis Lord for a link to Project Casting, which states that MTV’s series is holding open casting in New Orleans under the pseudonym “Hush”.
“Hush” aka, Scream TV series, is looking for actors, models, and talent to play high school students, teachers and police. Filming will take place in Baton Rouge and will start in April through July.
Lord makes the observation that “Scream Queens” is set to premiere around the same time, and that maybe MTV is trying to avoid consumer confusion? We’ll update you when we know something firm.
The new MTV series centers around a a YouTube video going viral that soon leads to problems for the teenagers of Lakewood and serves as the catalyst for a murder that opens up a window to the town’s troubled past.
Starring Willa Fitzgerald, Taylor-Klaus, Bobby Campo, Connor Weil and Joel Gretsch, it’s said that the slasher TV series is for the social media generation.
