Gasp
Earlier this year, Bloody Disgusting reported that Scream 4 may be headed to a theater near you. Though not quite in the way you’d expect.
With Scream and Scream 2 writer Kevin Williamson attached to the project, there are rumors of Wes Craven returning as well. Planned as a new trilogy, the next Scream series will focus on younger stars.
David Arquette and Mrs. David Arquette (Courteney Cox) are currently in talks for cameos, but don’t expect the Scream franchise to focus too much on the past. It sounds like they’re headed for a Halloween H20-esque faux-franchise holder. New kids + key original characters = profitable yet underwhelming performance.
The timing for another round of Scream couldn’t be better. As the torture-porn scene fades into obscurity, more movies from the slasher sub-genre are starting to appear in the muck with a large segment of them being rehashs of older stories.
