Scream 6 set pics show Montreal transformed into New York City

Scream franchise star Courteney Cox has already wrapped filming her scenes as Gale Weathers in Scream 6, but filming on the sequel continues in Montreal – and a new batch of set pics have revealed that a section of the city has been transformed into a version of New York City (which is where the story actually takes place).

At MTLBlog.com, they have pictures of multiple New York City street signs that have been set up in the Notre-Dame-de-Grâce neighborhood of Montreal, along with several fake businesses (a barbershop, an antique store, a curio shop, a bodega called Abe’s Snake), a fake subway station, and even a sign for a financial group that also serves as a reference to the film Ready or Not. Which was directed by Scream 2022 and Scream 6 directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett. Check it out:

Earlier this month, MTLBlog also revealed that Montreal’s McGill University had been transformed into a college called Blackmore University for the Scream 6 shoot.

The screenplay for Scream 6 was written by the previous movie’s screenwriters, James Vanderbilt and Guy Busick. This one will show us what happens when

the four survivors of the Ghostface killings leave Woodsboro behind and start a fresh chapter.

Those four survivors are the Scream 2022 characters played by returning stars Melissa Barrera (as Samantha Carpenter), Jasmin Savoy Brown (as Mindy Meeks-Martin), Mason Gooding (as Mindy’s brother Chad Meeks-Martin), and Jenna Ortega (as Sam’s sister Tara Carpenter). As mentioned before, Courteney Cox is reprising the role of Gale Weathers. Jack Champion, Liana Liberato, Devyn Nekoda, Josh Segarra, Samara Weaving, Tony Revolori, and Henry Czerny have also been cast in unspecified roles. At this point, we don’t know if Neve Campbell is back at Sidney Prescott or not. She has said she wouldn’t be back, but rumors persist. And Scream 4‘s Hayden Panettiere is back as Kirby Reed. According to YouTuber Critical Overlord, it looks like Thomas Cadrot might be in the cast as well.

Vanderbilt is producing Scream 6 with Paul Neinstein and William Sherak for Project X Entertainment. Original Scream screenwriter Kevin Willamson serves as executive producer alongside Chad Villella, Ron Lynch, Cathy Konrad, Marianne Maddalena, and Spyglass’s Gary Barber and Peter Oillataguerre.
