The outlet revealed that Abrams had written the script while Bad Robot would produce this new movie.

Powell’s latest movie Twisters earned past $200 million stateside and $275M worldwide, while Ortega could got credit for having the latest Scream VI notch its best domestic opening ever at $44.4M and best stateside take for the franchise at $108.1M.
