“Scream VI” Filmmaking Team Radio Silence Helming Mysterious Horror Film for Universal

Directors Tyler Gillet and Matt Bettinelli-Olpin have been on a roll. Their last three films have been critical and commercial successes, and they’ve all come more or less one right after the other—Ready or Not (2019), Scream (2022), and Scream VI (2023). The directors, along with producing partner Chad Villella, are a filmmaking trio known as Radio Silence, and now they’re taking their talents to Universal to direct and produce a new horror film.
