'Scream' reboot to have magic like the original film

In a recent interview with Collider, Kyle Gallner opened up about the upcoming Scream movie. He hinted that he is the first one to say no to a reboot movie. The actor mentioned that what he found “really, really cool” about the Scream 5 script is that there is a lot of similar kind of magic which the first one had, which he thinks is really cool. Gallner stated that the audiences who loved the original are going to “really dig” the forthcoming reboot.

The original Scream film series was created by late Wes Craven. Scream is not the first Craven reboot that will feature Kyle Gallner. The actor previously appeared in A Nightmare on Elm Street reboot in 2010. It tried to put a new spin on the legend of Freddy Krueger. Many fans felt that the screenplay attempted to reinvent Krueguar’s story to make it more realistic and gritty. It was a mismatch with the campy tone of the original franchise and the reboot eventually failed at the box office.
