‘Scream’ was a game-changer for the horror genre when it was released on December 20, 1996. The fifth film in the franchise is being released on January 14. Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, and David Arquette are back as their iconic characters — Sidney Prescott, Gale Weathers, and Dewey Riley.

Neve returns as the one and only Sidney Prescott, the ultimate final girl. Ghostface just can’t kill this one. In addition to ‘Scream’ movies over the years, Neve has also starred on shows like ‘House of Cards,’ ‘Grey’s Anatomy,’ and ‘Mad Men.’ She starred alongside Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson in the feature film ‘Skyscraper.’ Now 25 years after first playing Sidney, Neve is reprising her most legendary role alongside Courteney, David, and newbies Melissa Barrera, Jack Quaid, Jenna Ortega, Dylan Minnette, Jasmin Savoy Brown, Mason Gooding, and Mikey Madison.
