The pandemic affected all segments of life and made us rethink everything – including our jobs. The movie industry didn’t escape reformulation.

On the first week of filming of SCREAM 5, one of the first productions to resume after the first Covid-19 wave, some of the crew tested positive in Wilmington, NC.

All the new health guidelines were mandatory to assure everyone’s safety on the set of directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett.

“We did it during COVID, so half the time I’m only looking at their eyes, but they’re great“, revealed David Arquette about being directed by the duo.

And he also described the new acting process:

“You do rehearsals with your mask on. And then you take the mask off and it’s your scene but it’s the first time you’ve done it face to face. And it gives you this other layer of discovery when you’re having a scene with someone and see their face for the first time. There are certain things that are really interesting about it, and others that are a real drag obviously.”

SCREAM 2022 opens on theaters everywhere on January 14th, 2022 – when we pray it’s safe again.
