Ghostface takes Manhattan in Scream VI, the latest installment in the slasher franchise. The home video release includes an informative audio commentary with directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, writers James Vanderbilt and Guy Busick, and executive producer Chad Villella.
Here are 12 things I learned from the Scream VI Blu-ray commentary…
1. Samara Weaving was the first and only choice for the opening scene.
Samara Weaving, who starred in Radio Silence’s Ready or Not, was the first and only choice to play Laura, the ill-fated film studies professor that serves as the opening kill. The actress has stated it’s the closest character to herself she’s ever played.
Gillett says, “We were walking to dinner in Montreal when we were like, ‘Let’s just call her and see if she’s game.'” They did so, and “she was super, super game to come and hang out with us for a few days.

Spoiler warning: This article contains plot details.
Directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett got back behind the camera for Scream VI, which is in theaters now.
From the original teaser for the Halloween-set sequel, which gave us a first look at the subway sequence filled with Halloween costumes of iconic horror movie villains, it became clear that the filmmakers would continue their streak of Easter Eggs. But just how many can you find within Scream VI?
Bloody Disgusting spoke with Bettinelli-Olpin and Gillett about the new movie’s many Easter Eggs, and they revealed some unexpected Scream VI cameos in the process.
When asked about deep-cut Easter Eggs that might be tough to spot on an initial watch, Bettinelli-Olpin revealed one that didn’t even make it to the screen.
“I know one that would be so not obvious because it’s not in the movie,” the filmmaker explains. “But...

The theme for this year’s Melbourne Underground Film Festival is “Evolve Or Die,” so thank God that after 15 years, the fest has decided to evolve rather than kick the proverbial bucket.
What does “evolution” look like for Muff? For starters, this year is a much more stripped down festival. It runs Sept. 12 – 19 at a single location — The Backlot Studios.
Muff usually features a healthy retrospective section, but they decided to spin that off into a separate event that will run in a month or two. Instead, Muff 15 is all about new cinema, with an even stronger focus on Down Under cinema.
Opening Night: Start Options Exit was originally conceived by local co-directors Chris Mitchell and Yoav Lester as a web series, but was subsequently edited together as this outrageous comedy about a pair of degenerates stumbling through the seedy underbelly of Melbourne.
Closing Night: Acclaimed Melbourne cult filmmaker Stuart Simpson...
