It won't have a number and will be simply called Scream, just as what happened with David Gordon Green's Halloween (2018). The new movie will be directed by Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, with a screenplay by James Vanderbilt and Guy Busick, and will be respectful to the horror world Wes Craven built in the past years.
