A major location from the original movie will be returning in the Scream reboot. It was officially announced today that filming on the next installment in the horror franchise has completed, with it likewise revealed that the film is not called Scream 5, like we thought, but will go by the simplified title Scream. That makes it clear that the flick is going back to basics and will be harking back to the 1996 flick that started it all off.
And one way in which it’ll do that may have been accidentally let slip. Original creator and exec producer Kevin Williamson announced the news today on Twitter by sharing some set photos from production. One of them saw Williamson posing on location with stars Neve Campbell and Courteney Cox, who are returning for the fifth time as Sidney Prescott and Gale Weathers. But if you draw your focus away from them and at the background, you may notice something familiar about the house they’re standing in front of.
Fans have been making Sheriff Dewey proud on social media by proving to be diligent detectives. They’ve studied the pic and deduced that the house featured in the set photo must be Stu Macher’s home from the first movie. In the gallery above, you can get a look at Williamson’s pic and a snap of the Macher residence in 1996. There is definitely a strong resemblance between the two, which suggests the action will be returning to that fateful domicile in the new flick.
Stu’s house is the setting of the third act in the original Scream. Stu is hosting a horror marathon party when Ghostface attacks – of course, it’s then revealed that Stu himself is one of the killers along with Billy Loomis. It’s feasible that the new Scream will also reach a climax at Stu’s old house. Maybe the latest killer is trying to recreate the events of 1996? Or maybe the killer actually is Stu himself? Matthew Lillard has said he doesn’t think his character is actually dead.
We’ve got plenty of time to figure it out. Scream doesn’t hit theaters until January 14th, 2022.
