Radio Silence, the horror filmmaking banner known for reviving the Scream franchise, has signed with CAA.
The banner was previously at UTA.
Radio Silence, comprised of directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, most recently directed Universal’s 2024 vampire thriller Abigail. Producer Chad Villella is no longer with the outfit.
Radio Silence made segments of horror anthologies V/H/S and Southbound, delivering their feature debut with the supernatural horror movie Devil’s Due, which bowed in 2014 and grossed nearly $37 million on a $7 million budget But it was their 2019 black horror comedy Ready or Not that became a breakthrough hit, grossing more than $57 million on a budget of around $6 million.
That led the team to tackle a resuscitation of the Scream franchise, first with Scream, in 2022, and then Scream VI in 2023. The movies starred Melissa Barrera and Jenna Ortega. The duo departed the franchise in order to make Abigail, which starred Barrera, Dan Stevens and Kathryn Newton, among others.
The duo is now prepping a Ready or Not sequel, reteaming with star Samara Weaving and Searchlight Pictures. That feature is eyeing a spring shoot.
Bettinelli-Olpin and Gillett continue to be represented by attorney Tara Kole at Johnson Shapiro.
