Bella Thorne will play Nina Patterson, whos admitted that she is fulfilling the Drew Barrymore role from the original film, in that shes the first victim we see murdered after being tormented over the phone by the killer.

There will be easter eggs to the franchise, but overall the focus will be on making this its own world. The biggest link, of course, is that itll have a masked killer
