Taking to Instagram on January 7, Williamson expressed his excitement for working on the project. Calling it one of the best days of his life, Williamson expressed his gratitude for working with an amazing cast and crew.

He wrote, "I’m not supposed to post about Scream and I hope @spyglassmediagr and @paramountpics will forgive me but when you have one of the best days of your life it’s really hard to keep it to yourself."

Williamson went on to add, "What an extraordinary day I had working with an amazing and talented cast and crew. They brought their “A” game and had my back every step of the way."

Moreover, Williamson also paid tribute to Wes Craven, the late director of the original Scream (1996), saying, "I’m so very grateful for this opportunity and to Wes Craven who was on my mind through it all. The profound impact he has had on my life and career is endless."
