Hoult, who played Hank ‘Beast’ McCoy in the X-Men series, serves as a producer for the film alongside Whitaker Lader, with the pair saying: “We were immediately drawn to this project that we think will be equally appealing to reality TV junkies and those who think it is a scourge on humanity.
“Jaki and Kevin’s script and vision promise a wild and deliciously dark film that will make audiences cringe, laugh, and question their own complicity. We’re so excited to help bring it to life with this fantastic team.”
Scream VI is available to buy or rent online now, with the physical Blu-ray and DVD release coming on July 10.
