It's officially Scream 7 month, as Kevin Williamson's latest entry into the legendary slasher franchise hits theaters on February 27, with Paramount Pictures today unveiling the Big Game Spot that'll be playing at next Sunday's Super Bowl.
Williamson, who wrote the original Scream as well as Scream 2 and Scream 4, directs Scream 7 from a script he co-wrote with Guy Busick, who penned Radio Silence's Scream and Scream VI.
Paramount has also confirmed that, the first time in franchise history, the latest installment of Scream arrives in IMAX, so fans will be able to experience a Ghostface reveal on some of the biggest screens out there.
And that's not all – per an official press release, Scream fans will be among the first to see the film on the biggest movie screens during the Opening Night Fan Event Screening on Thursday, February 26 at 6:00PM local time. In addition to regular theatrical engagements that evening, the event will feature one special show in participating IMAX locations and at theatres across the country, including Dolby Cinema, 4DX, SCREENX, MX4D and exhibitors’ proprietary premium large formats, including Cinemark XD.
Ticketholders attending the advance fan screening of Scream 7 will also enjoy special content curated for this event and receive a limited edition collector's print commemorating the 30th Anniversary of Wes Craven's original Scream, to be given away at their local theatre on the date of the event – while supplies last.
