Neve Campbell and David Arquette are currently working on the fifth film in the SCREAM franchise, but this Saturday they're going to set SCREAM 5 aside for a little while to look back on the making of the original SCREAM (watch it HERE).
Campbell and Arquette will be reuniting with SCREAM co-stars Matthew Lillard, Jamie Kennedy, Rose McGowan, and Skeet Ulrich, along with screenwriter Kevin Williamson, for a virtual Q&A that will benefit the National Breast Cancer Coalition (NBCC), “I Have a Dream” Foundation – Los Angeles, and the East Los Angeles Women’s Center. Variety's Jenelle Riley will be moderating the event, which will take place November 14th at 6pm Eastern on Looped. Fans will be able to submit questions live during the Q&A.
The NBCC hopes to end breast cancer through the power of action and advocacy. The organization increases funding for innovative breast cancer research, monitors how research funds are spent, expands access to quality health care for all and ensures that trained advocates are the ones influencing decision-making.
The “I Have A Dream” Foundation provides long-term support to youth living in under-resourced communities. It promotes the values of high education and career success among the youth it assists, as well as provides opportunities such as enrichment programs.
The East Los Angeles Women’s Center provides a place where that all women, girls and their families can live in safety, health and personal well-being, free from violence and abuse, with equal access to necessary health services and social support. It focuses heavily on Latino communities.
Directed by Wes Craven, the original SCREAM was released in 1996 and centered on
teenage Sidney Prescott (Campbell) who is being harassed by Ghostface, a masked murderer, a year after her mother was brutally killed in their family home.
The original film was followed in quick succession by a sequel in 1997 and the third chapter of the original trilogy in 2000. A decade later, the franchise saw a return with a fourth installment that introduced Sidney’s young cousin (played by Emma Roberts) and a whole new group of her teenage friends who were now being hunted by a new Ghostface. All four of those films were directed by the late Wes Craven, with Williamson penning the first two and the fourth.
Tickets for the livestream event can be purchased at THIS LINK. Fans can also purchase tickets for virtual meet and greets, to have a 1-on-1 live video chat with individual actors. As of this writing, the meet and greets with Campbell and Lillard have already sold out.
It's cool that Williamson and the cast are getting back together to support a good cause like this. I hope the event will be a success – and judging by the meet and greet sell-outs, it's looking promising.
