The fifth instalment in the Scream series is set to slice its way into theaters early next year, and Paramount Pictures has now debuted a final one-sheet which gathers together most of the new and familiar faces.

We are told that "the killer is on this poster," but considering pretty much the entire cast is featured - with Ghostface looming in the background - this doesn't really narrow things down!

Woodsboro survivors Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell), Gale Weathers (Courteney Cox), and Dewey Riley (David Arquette) are all set to return for this latest chapter in the long-running horror franchise, and there's speculation that one of them might be unmasked as the latest incarnation of Ghostface.

That wouldn't seem to make a whole lot of sense given everything they've been through together, but who knows - being repeatedly stalked and stabbed by multiple knife-wielding maniacs is bound to take its psychological toll!

Check out the new poster (via IGN) below.

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.

Paramount Pictures teamed with Spyglass Media to co-produce and distribute Scream, which has Ready or Not duo Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett on board to direct. James Vanderbilt and Guy Busick are co-wrote the screenplay. Producers for the film are Vanderbilt, Paul Neinstein and William Sherak, with Kevin Williamson executive producing.

Scream is set for release next January.

If I remember correctly, in the trailers we've seen thus far out of the original three only one has been shown NOT to be chased down by Ghostface. That's Courtney Cox's character. So IF it's gonna be one of the original three(I remain unconvinced) it'll probably be Courtney's character. They'd need a REALLY good reason to explain why one of the original three began killing people. Finally "snapping" after years of torment and PTSD seems real easy and convenient. And lazy. If it's one of the originals, I really hope the reason is something better than that.

@BecauseICare - it might be revenge. Perhaps her career fell apart because professionally nothing she could do ever could top her Westboro murders series, and her marriage fell apart because of the psychological toll it all took on Dewey, and in her grief and continued to build up trauma, and obsessing over blaming it all on Sidney, she finally snaps. They've always shown Sidney as the prototype for how to find healthy ways to deal with trauma after her attacks, maybe this film shows a dark reflection on that, and shows how Gail has never dealt with the trauma in a healthy way, often using her character and Dewey as her trauma crutch, but without them both she finally snapped and began her revenge against Sid by adopting the Ghostface identity to draw Sid and Dewey out of hiding.

When exactly did movie poster design transition from “Here’s a simple, striking, memorable, and easy to follow design with a strong focal point” to “Here’s twenty peoples’ faces awkwardly photoshopped together”?

How do we know that is the killer? Could be a imposter.

I'm sticking with my Stu's son is the killer theory as that makes the most since to me. Any of the OG cast being the killer would be ridiculous, and I think the directors are to smart to do that.

It's Dewey or that bearded guy. In the trailers they say all those killed are somehow related to the original killers so I'm thinking it's Dewey on a revenge spree. OR that bearded guy is Stu's son taking revenge on Billy Loomis' family for trying to kill Stu.
