MTV’s Scream Shows Off Its Redesigned Ghostface Mask
One of the things that has caused many to worry about MTV’s upcoming “Scream” TV series is the fact that the iconic Ghostface mask will not be featured in it, but there’s a pretty good reason for that. And today the brand new mask has been revealed. We hope you dig it!
Entertainment Weekly got the exclusive on this one, sharing today the very first image of the mask that will be worn by the show’s killer(s). But first, why was it necessary to make such a change?
“The [original] mask is so iconic,” explains executive producer Jaime Paglia. “If you were to have that mask in a television series, but you weren’t following any of the characters [from the original], I believe that would be misleading the audience.”
“The new mask is cool and scary and takes the series into a new direction,” adds Wes Craven. “It also ties into the story, which I won’t give away.”
MTV and Dimension TV’s “Scream” is based on the eponymous, international hit horror franchise. After a cyber-bullying incident results in a brutal murder, the shocking violence stirs up memories of a killing spree from the past that has haunted some, intrigued others, and maybe just inspired a new killer. A group of teens – with two old friends struggling to reconnect at its heart – become lovers, enemies, suspects, targets, and victims of a killer who’s out for blood.
“Scream” stars Willa Fitzgerald as “Emma,” Bex Taylor-Klaus as “Audrey,” Carlson Young as “Brooke,” Amadeus Serafini as “Kieran,” John Karna as “Noah,” Connor Weil as “Will,” Tracy Middendorf as “Maggie,” and Jason Wiles as “Sheriff Hudson.” Jamie Travis directed the pilot.
The series premieres on Tuesday, June 30th, at 10:00 p.m. ET/PT on MTV.
MTV and Dimension TV (The Weinstein Company) bring “Scream,” the series adaptation of the hit horror film franchise, to television with Bob and Harvey Weinstein as executive producers. In addition, Jill Blotevogel (“Harper’s Island,” “Ravenswood”) and Jaime Paglia (“Arrow”) executive produce and showrun with John Shiban (“Hell on Wheels”, “Breaking Bad”) on board as a consulting producer. The pilot was written by Jay Beattie & Dan Dworkin (“Criminal Minds,” “The Event,” and “Revenge”) and Jill Blotevogel. Additional executive producers are Wes Craven, Tony DiSanto, Liz Gateley, Marianne Maddalena, and Cathy Konrad.
