David Arquette Coaches New Generation on 'Rules' to Survive a Horror Movie in Final 'Scream' Trailer

In the new Scream trailer, Neve Campbell's Sidney says, "I've seen this movie before," as the Ghostface killer quickly responds over the phone, "Not this movie"

The Scream O.G.'s are educating a new generation about the rules of horror movies.

On Tuesday, Paramount Pictures debuted the final trailer for Scream, the fifth entry in the franchise, ahead of it hitting theaters on Friday. In the trailer, David Arquette's Dewey teaches the young members of the Woodsboro community how they can best survive a murderous rampage from the latest masked Ghostface killer.

"There are certain rules to surviving," he says. "Believe me, I know. They always come back. The killer is a part of something in the past. This one just feels different."

Aside from a new generation of locals being terrorized by Ghostface, original stars Neve Campbell and Courteney Cox also return as Sidney Prescott and Gale, respectively.

"I've seen this movie before," Campbell's Sidney says, as the killer responds via phone, "Not this movie."

Campbell previously told Entertainment Weekly that she was reassured to join the reboot by the new directors Bettinelli-Olpin and Gillett, who are longtime fans of Craven and screenwriter Kevin Williamson's original creation.

"I genuinely was in two minds," Campbell said in October. "The idea of making these films without Wes Craven seemed challenging to me. I loved the man very much. But Matt and Tyler wrote me a letter, speaking of their appreciation and great respect for Wes Craven, and speaking of the fact that the very reason that they are directors today was because of these movies and because of Wes, and that meant a great deal to me."

Scream is in theaters Friday.
