Matthew Lyn Lillard (born January 24, 1970) is an American actor, director, and producer. His early film roles include the black comedy Serial Mom (1994) and the crime thriller Hackers (1995). He achieved a career breakthrough for his portrayal of Stu Macher in the slasher film Scream (1996), which bolstered Lillard into the mainstream as a scream king. Afterwards, he starred in prominent roles in SLC Punk! (1998), She's All That (1999), Thirteen Ghosts (2001), and Without a Paddle (2004). He portrayed Norville "Shaggy" Rogers in the live-action movies Scooby-Doo (2002) and Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed (2004), and then later voiced the character in several animated releases, serving as the voice of Shaggy since Casey Kasem retired from the role in 2009. Starting in the 2010s, Lillard was more frequently cast in dramatic roles, in films such as The Descendants (2011), Trouble with the Curve (2012), Match (2014), and Twin Peaks: The Return (2017). He also starred in the NBC series Good Girls (2018–2021). Lillard gained renewed recognition for playing William Afton in the horror film Five Nights at Freddy's (2023); that same year, The Hollywood Reporter praised his return to mainstream popular culture. He has since starred in the fantasy drama film The Life of Chuck (2025). Description above from the Wikipedia article Matthew Lillard, licensed under CC-BY-SA, full list of contributors on Wikipedia.
Years after the events of the previous films, Sidney Prescott has built a quiet life in Indiana with her husband Mark and their teenage daughter, Tatum. That peace is shattered when a new Ghostface emerges, using sophisticated AI technology to impersonate Stu Macher and psychologically torment Sidney with digital recreations of the dead. As a new series of murders unfolds, suspicion begins to fall on Tatum herself, whose whereabouts during several attacks cannot be verified. Haunted by the betrayals of family members like Roman Bridger and Jill Roberts, Sidney becomes consumed by the fear that her daughter may be following the same path, creating a devastating rift between them just as Ghostface closes in. As the body count rises and legacy survivors Gale Weathers, Chad Meeks-Martin, and Mindy Meeks-Martin become involved, the mystery culminates in a deadly showdown at Pine Grove High School. The killers are revealed to be Tatum's best friend Chloe, Sidney's seemingly supportive neighbor Jessica, and drama teacher George Willis, a trio obsessed with stripping Ghostface of the personal motives that defined previous killers. Believing Ghostface should represent pure, meaningless terror rather than revenge or trauma, they set out to eradicate everyone connected to the Prescott and Carpenter legacies. In the brutal final confrontation, Sidney, Gale, Chad, and Tatum fight back, forcing Sidney to confront not only the killers but her own inability to trust the people she loves. Ultimately, the story becomes less about Ghostface and more about a mother and daughter overcoming generations of fear, trauma, and suspicion to save each other.
