MANILA, PHILIPPINES – Paramount Pictures has just announced that its US No.1 box-office hit “Scream” will hold special sneak previews in selected cinemas nationwide on Tuesday, Feb. 1. Horror fans are advised to check with their favorite theaters for the screening hours and ticket prices.
Scream, which opens wide in Philippine cinemas on Feb. 2, has been rated R-16 Without Cuts by the Movie & Television Review & Classification Board (MTRCB). Fans are guaranteed to see the film in its integral, original version, complete with all the “strong language, gore, and graphic depiction of murders.” As Ben Travis of Empire Magazine wrote, “In an era of elevated horror, it’s a gloriously gory basement party.”
About “Scream”
Twenty-five years after a streak of brutal murders shocked the quiet town of Woodsboro, a new killer has donned the Ghostface mask and begins targeting a group of teenagers to resurrect secrets from the town’s deadly past. Neve Campbell (“Sidney Prescott”), Courteney Cox (“Gale Weathers”) and David Arquette (“Dewey Riley”) return to their iconic roles in “Scream” alongside Melissa Barrera, Kyle Gallner, Mason Gooding, Mikey Madison, Dylan Minnette, Jenna Ortega, Jack Quaid, Marley Shelton, Jasmin Savoy Brown, and Sonia Ammar.
“Scream” is directed by Matt Bettinelli-Olpin & Tyler Gillett of the filmmaking group Radio Silence (Ready or Not, V/H/S). The film is written by James Vanderbilt & Guy Busick, based on the characters created by Kevin Williamson.
“Scream” is a long-running genre-busting horror franchise which generated four feature films including “Scream” (1996), “Scream 2” (1997), “Scream 3” (2000) and “Scream 4” (2011). Directed by famed “maestro of horror,” the late Wes Craven, the films went on to gross more than $600 million in worldwide box office receipts. Williamson wrote the original film as well as Scream 2 and Scream 4.
In Philippine cinemas February 2, “Scream” is distributed by Paramount Pictures through Columbia Pictures.
