  • “Wednesday’s” Jenna Ortega Takes a New Stab at Horror in “Scream VI”

    For her performance Ortega was individually nominated for a 2023 Golden Globe award in the category of Best Television Actress Musical/Comedy Series and received a nomination for a 2022 Screen Actors Guild for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Comedy Series.

    Now, Ortega returns as Tara Carpenter in Paramount Pictures’ new slasher thriller Scream VI, bringing together some familiar faces for a terrifying, sharp-witted, and bloody horror experience.

    Scream VI finds Sam (Melissa Barrera), her half-sister Tara and their friends, twins Mindy (Jasmin Savoy Brown) and Chad Meeks-Martin (Mason Gooding), having relocated from Woodsboro to New York City after the most recent Ghostface killings left them as the only survivors in their group of friends.

    For Ortega, her character Tara doesn’t fit the genre’s so-called final girl mold. “It’s been really fun exploring her more in this film because I feel like I’m pulling out different traits,” she says. “I love that she’s more in touch with her feminine side and is a bit more sensitive. It’s very easy to make her cry and get under her skin. It’s also easy for her to grow unbelievably frustrated. Her older sister, Sam, is this stoic, strong, badass girl, which is also wonderful because we get to play off of each other.”

    The story delves into how Sam and Tara are dealing with the horrors they lived through in entirely different and conflicting ways. “They’re like regular sisters that fight all the time and are sick of each other,” says Ortega. “Sam is the overprotective one, who is taking her job way too seriously. Tara’s this girl in college who wants independence and doesn’t want her sister hanging around watching her every move. There’s more friction, and the arc is more like a regular sibling relationship with ups and downs. Tara also has her journey of being in denial and not wanting to deal, choosing to move on with her life and not think about what happened ever again. Sam’s trying to get her to deal with it so that they can heal together.”

  • Film Facts: 5 Things to Know About ‘Scream 6’

    The iconic slasher franchise is back for another installment in Scream VI. Another Ghostface rises to terrorize the survivors of its predecessors, from Scream staple Gale Weathers to its most recent victims, the Carpenter siblings.

    But before you see the slashing and screaming on the big screen, here’s a round-up of some facts about the new horror movie that you might not know about.

    1. Ghostface goes to the Big Apple.

    While it all began in (and always leads back to) Woodsboro, the Scream franchise has taken place in different locations, with a new set of Ghostface killers following its protagonists wherever they go. This film is no exception.

    After the events of the fifth Scream movie, the survivors try to start a new life in New York, but sure enough, even the bustling city wouldn’t be able to protect them from a new Ghostface killer on the loose.

    2. Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett are back as directors.

    Scream VI is the second film not helmed by its creator Wes Craven, after the filmmaker’s passing in 2015. Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett– collectively known as Radio Silence– who directed the 2022 Scream film are back to direct the sequel, which was actually written before the fifth movie.

    “It really moves like it’s on rocket fuel,” director Gillett told TOTAL FILM in an interview. “You sit down, it starts, and the movie is just a ride. You get off two hours later, and you feel like you haven’t taken a breath.”

    3. Jenna Ortega, Melissa Barrera, Courteney Cox, & more familiar faces return alongside new characters.

    Returning for the sixth installment of the film is Scream regular Courteney Cox’s Gale Weathers as well as Hayden Panettiere’s Kirby Reed from Scream 4 and Scream 5. They will once again join the new set of Scream protagonists Sam Carpenter, played by Melissa Barrera, and her sister Tara portrayed by Jenna Ortega.

    Other returning survivors from the previous film include Mason Gooding’s Chad Meeks-Martin and his sister, Jasmin Savoy Brown’s Mindy. New characters include Tony Revolori (Spider-Man: No Way Home), Samara Weaving (Ready or Not), Henry Czerny, Dermot Mulroney, Jack Champion, Josh Segarra, Liana Liberato, and Devyn Nekoda.

    4. The longtime protagonist Sidney Prescott will not be returning.

    While the Scream films have had different main characters, the first “final girl” Sidney Prescott has always played a major role in the franchise. But the character will not be returning for the new movie as Neve Campbell decided to step away from the role because of the salary offer she calls “sexist.”

    “I felt the offer that was presented to me did not equate to the value I have brought to the franchise,” Campbell told Deadline. “It’s been a very difficult decision to move on. To all my Scream fans, I love you. You’ve always been so incredibly supportive to me. I’m forever grateful to you and to what this franchise has given me over the past 25 years.”

    While there are unconfirmed rumors about the salary negotiations getting a resolution and Campbell making a surprise cameo in the new film, what the directors did confirm is that Campbell can still return to the franchise in the future.

    5. A “bolder, more brazen” Ghostface.

    Of course, the identity of the latest Ghostface killer remains to be seen on the big screen, but if we expect the franchise’s tried and tested formula to be applied in the sixth installment, we’ll get another pair of killers donning the Ghostface mask.

    The directors did comment about their newest Ghostface in an interview with TOTAL FILM: “We wanted to make this really different, while still having all the stuff you love. Having a bolder, more brazen Ghostface was a big part of that.”

  • Bloodiest-Ever “Scream VI” Gets R-18 Rating for Graphic Horror, Violence

    This means horror fans are guaranteed to watch Scream VI in its integral, original version, as the filmmakers intended it to be seen when it opens nationwide on March 8.

    The MTRCB reached an R-18 decision as “the film contains graphic but non-gratuitous depiction of horror, frightening scenes, violence and gore, that may not be suitable for viewers below eighteen (18) years of age.”

    Scream VI castmember Melissa Barrera recently told Collider that the upcoming sequel has the potential to be 100 times gorier than any previous entry in the long-running horror franchise. According to the actor, directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett were always asking to increase the amount of blood on set.

    “With the last ‘Scream,’ they were tip-toeing and trying to be very respectful of what the franchise had been, up until that point, and keeping their inner gory dreams at bay,” Barrera added. “But with this one, they were like, ‘We’re going all out.’ It’s potentially a hundred times gorier.”
