Another popular horror series is continuing on and the director of the original series has spoken about the new films.
Digital Spy recently interviewed Wes Craven who had a few things to say about
Scream 4.
What's the status with Scream 4 at the moment? Are we going to see you direct it?
"Bob Weinstein (The Weinstein Company co-chairman) has talked to me, he's interested in me directing it. I had a brief conversation with Kevin [Williamson], I know that Kevin is writing. What I've said to Bob is I'm not closed to it, I'm not open to it, I'll be perfectly happy to read a script and tell him what I think. That's where it's at and I'm not expecting a script until August. I don't know what the premise is or anything."
Do you know what form it's taking? The word 'reboot' has been used.
"I don't think it's a reboot and Kevin, when he talked to me, said, 'Remember, it's not just Scream 4, it's Scream 5 and 6.' So I guess he has a trilogy in mind."

Will this even be worth seeing if Wes Craven isn't directing? I personally can't even remember the last time Kevin Williamson wrote something worthwhile. A whole new trilogy is intriguing, but does the world really need 3 more
Scream movies where some unlikely killer is revealed at the end of the movie that makes you just sigh in a fit of boredom? I'd say we're better without.

and Hills Have Eyes original was good, but i heard the remake sucked, so it's not surprising that the sequel to it sucked, since most sequels to horror remakes die a miserable fiscal death, which means that i'm interested in seeing how RZ's "H2" fares in box office revenue during its first few weeks in comparison to the last one.
And Wes Craven not being interested as he clearly isn't, is NOT necessarily a bad thing, as John Carpenter walked out on ALL the Halloween sequels, (though most of those were terrible so that's a bad example) save for the SCRIPT of #2 which he wrote, but some were still better than most exploitation/slasher rip-off flicks from the '80s, which includes the "Friday The 13th" series.
(yeah for some reason the word SCRIPT can't be written in lower case lettering. idky.)
Not interested and dont care.
something new
Scream is a dead franchise, lay it to rest, not even Craven's direction, which got crappy after Scream 1, can save this.
I like Williamson as a screenwriter, but there is nothing new that can be brought to this deadout franchise, except a 3.D edition, i reckon Scream 4 will just blow in the box-office, which will cancel 5 & 6.
another one dosent make sence in the storyline with the way the third ended, especially if it is the same characters.
