Why Scream 7 Didn’t Bring Back Recent Hit Directors Explained By New Sequel Filmmaker

After successfully bringing the franchise back for two movies, Scream 7 won’t feature the return of directors Radio Silence and Christopher Landon is sharing some insight for why they won’t be back. The directing duo, Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, made their franchise debuts with 2022’s Scream, which garnered largely positive reviews from critics and audiences alike and was considered one of the best in the franchise behind the original. With Scream VI similarly scoring strong reviews and one of the best runs at the box office, a seventh movie was all but assured, though its announcement came with a twist as Landon was tapped to take over the director’s chair.
