‘X’ Trilogy Producer Kid Cudi Teases Another Upcoming Collaboration with ‘Ti West’
In addition to starring in Ti West’s 1970s-set slasher X, Scott Mescudi (aka Kid Cudi) was also an executive producer on the subsequent prequel Pearl and this year’s sequel MaXXXine, and the singer/actor has taken to Twitter this week to tease another collaboration with West.
Mescudi tweets, “Wait til u see what me and Ti West do next.”
We have no idea what Mescudi is referring to at this time, so it’s important to note here that it’s not necessarily even a horror project at all. While Ti West is primarily known as a horror filmmaker, making a name for himself with films including The House of the Devil, The Innkeepers, and The Sacrament, he’s also strayed from the genre. Of particular note, West directed the Western In a Valley of Violence back in 2016. Point being, it’s not a guarantee that West and Mescudi are cooking up another horror project, but here’s hoping they are.
It’s at least worth mentioning that Ti West doesn’t seem to be completely opposed to making a fourth movie in the X/Pearl/MaXXXine saga, recently teasing a “weird idea” for another installment. And with MaXXXine debuting in theaters with the highest opening weekend of the trilogy, it’s certainly possible that A24 could be interested in continuing the saga.
But that’s pure speculation on my part. Stay tuned for more on this developing story…
Kid Cudi played the ill-fated Jackson Hole in Ti West’s trilogy-starter X (2022), a Marine Corps veteran who ends up one of the many victims of elderly murderers Pearl and Howard.
Wait til u see what me and Ti West do next 😎

It’s been a few months since we’ve gotten an official update on Scream 7, but one thing we do know for certain is that Neve Campbell will be back as Sidney Prescott this time around.
And according to Campbell, the upcoming seventh installment will be a return to the franchise’s roots in the sense that Sidney Prescott will be the central character of the movie.
“We are going to follow Sidney,” Campbell confirms to ET Online this week.
“They did pitch the concept to me, and it’s the reason that I jumped on board,” Campbell adds. “I love these movies, they are so much fun to be a part of. I’m so grateful for them; I could never have imagined being a part of a movie that would have lasted this many decades.”
Sidney was featured as a supporting character in 2022’s Scream, while Campbell infamously did not return for the following year’s Scream VI due to a pay dispute. Those two movies, both directed by the filmmakers Radio Silence (Abigail), mixed a new generation of characters with the legacy characters, but much has happened since Scream VI released last year.
The franchise has been mired in controversy in the past several months, with new series leads Melissa Barrera and Jenna Ortega both exiting the project. Barrera was fired, while it was subsequently announced that Ortega wouldn’t be returning. At this time, we still don’t know if Jasmin Savoy Brown or Mason Gooding will be returning for Scream 7.
Original Scream scribe Kevin Williamson will DIRECT the upcoming Scream 7, with franchise mainstay Courteney Cox expected to also return as heroine Gale Weathers.
The upcoming Scream 7, which is currently untitled, was written by Guy Busick from a story by James Vanderbilt & Guy Busick. Stay tuned for more on the film as we learn it.
