Jenna Ortega In Scream 6 As Tara Carpenter

Jenna Ortega has had a stellar year, starring in Scream 6, X, and the upcoming horror-comedy Wednesday. Ortega gave an outstanding performance as Tara Carpenter in Scream, and many say she outperformed Melissa Barrera in the starring role.

With Scream 5, the filmmakers went back to the roots after opening with unique murder sequences in each of the previous Scream films. Ortega recreated the iconic "lone teenager on the phone with a creepy stalker" opening montage from Drew Barrymore's Casey Becker in 1996's Scream.

The only difference was that, unlike Casey Becker, Ortega's character survived. Scream 6 should, hopefully, have another fantastic opening sequence.

Melissa Barrera, Jasmin Savoy Brown, Mason Gooding, and Dermot Mulroney co-star alongside Jenna Ortega in the film. 

19-Year-old Jenna’s Family Background
