Scott Foley Returning for "Scream 7"

Scott Foley (Scream 3, The Girls on the Bus) has joined the cast of "Scream 7" from Spyglass and Paramount Pictures.

Details regarding his character and the film’s plot are currently under wraps.

However, Foley is already part of the Scream universe having portrayed antagonist Roman Bridger, the film director and half-brother of Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell) who was revealed to be the Ghostface Killer of "Scream 3".

Foley’s casting comes with its own set of questions because Roman was killed by Dewey (David Arquette) at Sidney’s request.

Roman has faked his own death before so it’s plausible that he could reprise the role in the present or perhaps in flashback form in the past if he is deceased. Could Roman have a long-lost twin? This is Scream after all, so if he returns as a ghost (face killer?) or a zombie, it would not shock most. There are so many possibilities here that I defer to franchise superfans to figure out.

Foley joins the previously announced original cast members Neve Campbell and Courteney Cox as well as Mason Gooding and Jasmin Savoy Brown, alongside newcomers Isabel May, Celeste O’Connor, Asa Germann, Mckenna Grace, Sam Rechner, Anna Camp, Joel McHale, and Mark Consuelos.

Franchise creator Kevin Williamson is directing with Guy Busick (2022’s Scream and Scream VI) writing.

Project X Entertainment’s James Vanderbilt, William Sherak and Paul Neinstein (2022’s Scream and Scream VI) are producing.

The long-running horror franchise previously generated four feature films including "Scream" (1996), "Scream 2" (1997), "Scream 3" (2000) and "Scream 4" (2011), directed by the late Wes Craven.

It relaunched with the fifth installment, "Scream", in 2022.
