The identity of the next Scream movie's incarnation of Ghostface was so secret that members of the cast on the upcoming movie were intentionally kept from knowing who was under the mask for some of the shoot.
In a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, director Tyler Gillett said that the crew had intentionally kept the identity of Ghostface a secret for as long as possible in order to ensure that as many people as possible were kept in the dark for the film's big 'whodunit' reveal.
"We were really careful to protect the big reveal of the movie," says Gillett. "We went as far as to withhold those moments in the script from the actors. We wanted everybody involved, to the degree that we could, to be a part of the whodunit. Obviously, you get to a point in the shoot where you have to let the cat out of the bag, but we went pretty far into prep and into production with a surprising amount of secrecy maintained."
Part of the attraction to the Scream franchise is its commitment to secrecy. Every movie's Ghostface has been a major reveal, and the fifth movie won't be an exception. Little has been revealed about the film's plot, with many of the cast members keeping it closely under wraps. As part of the interview with EW, however, returning series veteran David Arquette spoke a little about his character's return in the upcoming film. "Dewey's had a rough life of it, and in the fourth Scream, they wanted me to get rid of his limp," he says. "But he's got the limp back; I can give you that much!"
Arquette is set to be joined in the film by returning co-star Neve Campbell who plays the series main protagonist, Sidney Prescott, as well as Courtney Cox who is reprising her role as reporter Gale Weathers. Following the news of her return, Campbell said in a statement that she was confident that Wes Craven's franchise is in good hands.
“After spending time speaking with Radio Silence [Productions], they have shown such love, respect and admiration for Wes Craven and all that he’s created in the Scream franchise," Campbell said. "I am beyond excited to step back into the role of Sidney Prescott and return to Woodsboro.”
