‘Scream 7’s Ethan Embry Recalls Wes Craven’s Reaction To His Audition For OG Film


Nearly 30 years after it slashed its way into fans' hearts, Ethan Embry is joining the 'Scream' franchise.

After the actor’s casting in Scream 7 was announced in February, he recalled auditioning for the original 1996 Wes Craven-helmed teen slasher film that launched the popular horror franchise. While plot and character details remain under wraps, Embry joins returning franchise stars Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, David Arquette, Scott Foley, Matthew Lillard, Mason Gooding and Jasmin Savoy Brown, as well as newcomers Isabel May, Celeste O’Connor, Asa Germann, Mckenna Grace, Sam Rechner, Michelle Randolph, Jimmy Tatro, Anna Camp, Joel McHale and Mark Consuelos. After Melissa Barrera was dropped from Scream 7 over her stance on the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict, and Jenna Ortega’s exit from the film shortly after, Campbell said the next movie will once again “follow Sydney” after she originated the final-girl character in the 1996 movie.
