Reunion: New Scream movie’s directors to make high school horror film

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

The new Scream movie just wrapped production last month, and the film's directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, screenwriter Guy Busick, and the producers at Project X Entertainment already have their next genre project lined up. Bettinelli-Olpin and Gillett will, with their Radio Silence partner Chad Villella, be directing and producing a high school horror movie called Reunion, working from a script written by Busick. Project X's William Sherak, James Vanderbilt, and Paul Neinstein will be producing the film alongside Radio Silence and Tripp Vinson of Vinson Films. Vinson Films' Tara Farney will serve as executive producer.

Busick crafted the story with R. Christopher Murphy. That duo previously wrote Radio Silence's Ready or Not (watch it HERE), as well as episodes of the TV shows Castle Rock and Stan Against Evil.

In Reunion

the horrific experience of high school reunions is taken to a new extreme when a group of uninspired old friends become the only hope for survival against an unwelcome shape-shifting creature.

Before Ready or Not and Scream, Radio Silence contributed segments to the anthologies V/H/S and Southbound, and Bettinelli-Olpin and Gillett also directed the 2014 horror film Devil's Due. After seeing Ready or Not, I'm really looking forward to both Scream and Reunion.
