Direct from Hollywood with Ryan Seacrest.

Matthew Lillard, who started in the original Scream as one of the two killers wreaking havoc on Woodsboro High School, is back for the upcoming seventh installment, which is confusing for fans as Matthew was killed off by the end of the first film, leading to all sorts of speculation as to how they plan on seemingly bringing him back from the dead, and while Matthew won't divulge what the secret story is, he did admit to the crowd at the Nineties Connie's nervous about what fans will think when they finally see him back in the franchise, saying I can't say anything specific about it, obviously, but I'm very excited. It's terrified to be back because all I can do is really scrip a legacy that we have I could really suck. So that's my fear. I come back and punish something that I could never touch in Bing's fine. I hope I don't mess it up for everyone. Scream Is seven is due out next February.

That's direct from Hollywood.
