  • Scream 7 filmed in Atlanta

    Scream 7, Filmed in Atlanta, Eyes 2026 Release

    4 Min Read

    The iconic slasher franchise is back, as Scream 7 nears its release date.

    Directed by franchise creator Kevin Williamson, this seventh installment promises to deliver another chilling chapter in the Ghostface saga, with principal photography taking place at Lionsgate Sound Stages and other locations across metro Atlanta, including Great Point Studios in Douglasville and sites in Marietta.

    The movie officially kicked off filming in Atlanta, Georgia, on January 7, 2025, under the working title Scar Tissue.

    When Is Scream 7’s Release Date To Theaters?

    The production wrapped in mid-March, paving the way for a highly anticipated theatrical release on February 27, 2026, marking nearly 30 years since the original Scream redefined horror in 1996.

    Williamson, who penned the first four Scream films, shared his excitement on Instagram, calling the first day of filming “one of the best days of my life” and praising the “amazing and talented cast and crew.” The director, stepping into the role for the first time in the franchise, paid tribute to the late Wes Craven, whose vision shaped the series.

    The clapperboard revealed in Williamson’s post, featuring cinematographer Tim Ives (Stranger Things), hints at a visually striking addition to the franchise, blending classic Scream aesthetics with modern flair.

    Scream 7 sees the return of Neve Campbell as Sidney Prescott, the franchise’s beloved final girl, after her absence from Scream VI due to a pay dispute. Campbell confirmed her return in March 2024, expressing enthusiasm for working under Williamson’s direction.

    Joining her are legacy cast members Courteney Cox as Gale Weathers, David Arquette as Dewey Riley, and Roger L. Jackson as the chilling voice of Ghostface. Surprisingly, Matthew Lillard and Scott Foley, whose characters Stu Macher and Roman Bridger seemingly met their ends in Scream (1996) and Scream 3 (2000), are also returning in undisclosed roles, sparking fan speculation about their involvement. Newcomers include Isabel May as Sidney’s daughter, alongside Celeste O’Connor, Asa Germann, Mckenna Grace, Sam Rechner, Michelle Randolph, Jimmy Tatro, and Joel McHale.

    Mason Gooding and Jasmin Savoy Brown reprise their roles as Chad and Mindy Meeks-Martin, maintaining ties to the franchise’s recent entries.

    Scream 7 Filming in Atlanta: The Buzz, Fuzz and More

    The film’s production in Atlanta has generated buzz, with the city’s dynamic urban and suburban landscapes providing a versatile backdrop for Ghostface’s latest rampage. Atlanta’s status as a filmmaking hub, bolstered by tax incentives and robust infrastructure, makes it an ideal setting for the high-stakes production. F

    ans are particularly intrigued by the possibility of the film being set in Atlanta, as Scream 6 referenced the city as the home of Kirby Reed’s FBI field office and the middle school of two Ghostface killers, hinting at a potential “Cult of Ghostface” storyline. While Kirby’s return, played by Hayden Panettiere, remains unconfirmed, the Atlanta setting fuels speculation about her involvement.

    The score, composed by Marco Beltrami, who worked on the first four films, will feature new tracks like “What’s in a Name” and “School Drama,” alongside the iconic “Sidney’s Lament,” promising to amplify the film’s suspenseful atmosphere. Beltrami confirmed completing the score in August 2025, sharing snippets on Instagram.

    Scream 7 has faced a tumultuous journey to the screen, with significant behind-the-scenes changes. Original directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett exited in August 2023 due to scheduling conflicts, followed by Christopher Landon’s departure after the controversial firing of Melissa Barrera and Jenna Ortega’s exit due to scheduling issues and creative shifts.

    The film underwent a creative retooling to refocus on legacy characters, particularly Sidney Prescott, with a script by Guy Busick and a story co-written by Busick and James Vanderbilt.

    Final Word

    As Scream 7 carves its path toward its February 27, 2026, release, fans are eager for the return of Sidney Prescott and the franchise’s signature blend of horror, meta-commentary, and suspense. With Atlanta as its production hub, the film is poised to honor its roots while slashing into new territory, ensuring Ghostface’s legacy remains as sharp as ever. Stay tuned for more updates as production continues.

  • Panda Fest: Atlanta

    Panda Fest Returns To Atlanta

    5 Min Read

    Get ready to unleash your inner panda enthusiast because Panda Fest is back in the Peach State for its second round of 2025 this weekend in Atlanta, transforming Atlantic Station’s Pinnacle Lot into a vibrant celebration of Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) culture from September 5-7, 2025.

    Founded by BiuBiu Xu, the mastermind behind New York’s Dragon Fest, Panda Fest started as a one-day “Panda Day” street fair and has grown into a multi-city sensation.

    Atlanta’s love for pandas—still strong despite Zoo Atlanta’s pandas returning to China in 2024—made it the perfect first stop for the festival’s national tour.

    “Atlanta holds a special place in Panda Fest’s story,” Xu said. “We’re thrilled to bring it back for a second time in 2025.” With its sold-out debut and a 50,000-person waitlist, it’s clear Atlantans are ready for more panda-monium.

    After a wildly successful debut in April, Atlanta becomes the first city to host this paw-some festival twice in one year, and it’s gearing up to be bigger, tastier, and more panda-tastic than ever.

    What To Know About Panda Fest: A Culinary Journey Across Asia

    Prepare your taste buds for a whirlwind tour of Asia with over 70 food vendors serving up more than 300 dishes from countries like China, Japan, Korea, Thailand, Vietnam, and the Philippines.

    From steaming bao buns and crispy Korean fried chicken to refreshing bubble teas and decadent panda-shaped desserts, there’s something to satisfy every craving.

    Local favorites like Kamayan ATL, Mukja, and Food Terminal will be joined by culinary stars from New York, Orlando, Miami, and Nashville, ensuring a diverse lineup of flavors.

    Organizers have even upgraded the festival this time around, with popular vendors offering multiple stations and two portion sizes so you can sample more without overloading your plate—or your wallet!

    Vegetarians and vegans, fear not—many vendors will have plant-based options to keep you fueled for the fun.

    What To Expect: Panda-Themed Fun for All Ages

    What’s a panda party without a little whimsy? The festival will be decked out with panda decorations galore, including a show-stopping 15-foot inflatable panda that’s practically begging for a selfie.

    Kids (and kids at heart) can bounce around in the panda inflatable or try their hand at Panda Dough Figurine crafting, Panda Painting DIY, and Panda Face Painting.

    General Admission tickets come with two free gifts—a customized panda pin featuring a Georgia peach and an inflatable panda headband—while VIP tickets score you an exclusive tote bag, access to shaded seating, a private bar, and fast-pass entry to skip the lines.

    A Cultural Extravaganza

    Beyond the food, Panda Fest is a feast for the senses with live performances showcasing AAPI traditions. Expect lion dance shows, K-pop and Thai dance routines, and traditional crafts like sugar painting and calligraphy.

    The artisan market will feature over 25 vendors selling everything from handmade jewelry to panda-inspired trinkets, perfect for snagging a unique souvenir. Whether you’re grooving to contemporary Asian pop or marveling at theatrical acts, the festival’s vibrant energy will keep you entertained all weekend long.

    Event Details and How to Join the Party

    Panda Fest runs from noon to 5 p.m. on Friday, September 5; 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Saturday, September 6; and 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Sunday, September 7, at Atlantic Station’s Pinnacle Lot (221 20th St., Atlanta, GA 30363). Early Bird tickets are $10 (until July 27 or sold out), General Admission is $14 ($16 on Saturday), and VIP tickets are $35. Tickets are non-refundable and tied to specific time slots, but organizers will try to accommodate emergencies. Parking is available at Atlantic Station (fees apply), and rideshare users can use the drop-off at 241 20th Street. For MARTA users, take the red or gold line to Arts Center Station and hop on the free Atlantic Station shuttle to the Atlantic Drive stop.

    Final Word

    Well-behaved dogs are also invited, as long as they’re on a short leash and up-to-date on vaccinations—just keep them away from the food stalls, please! With picnic tables available (first-come, first-served) and extra drink stations to keep the crowds hydrated, Panda Fest is designed for comfort and fun. Just remember: no outside food, drinks, or vaping allowed, and small bags may be checked at the entrance.

    For more details and to purchase tickets, visit Panda Fest’s website. The event will take place rain or shine, and media and influencer credentials will be available at a later date.

    At this point, Atlanta cuisine has become indispensable to the South. The largest city in Georgia’s food festivals and culinary events set the tone for the entire Southeast. 

    Only in Atlanta can the casual observer find specialty food shops, off-the-beaten-path restaurants, farmers’ markets and farm stands all at an affordable price point.

    But Atlanta also has trendy restaurants, pop-ups and time-tested landmarks that continue to draw big crowds.

    Metro Atlanta’s food and drink scene continues to grow with no stops on the horizon. Ready to try something new?
