Scream 4 Officially in the Works?

It seems a popular 90s horror franchise is getting started up once again. According to Bloody-Disgusting, some early facts have come in about the development of Scream 4.

Fact #1: Kevin Williamson (writer of all three SCREAM films) is going to start writing a draft, although it may or may not become the shooting script (which is typical).

Fact #2: Wes Craven may or may not direct, but there is a very good possibility that he will return.

Fact #3: They are making financial offers to David Arquette, Courtney Cox Arquette and Neve Campbell to play cameos.

Fact #4: This will be a younger version of the SCREAM movies.


We'll keep you posted on any developments surrounding this new film.

    A fourth, now that's going to far. But I'll watch it anyway.
    I wish Hollyweird would get better in making films,even with these horror's most of the time.
    These latest a tempts are more gore than thill. The last ten to fifteen years these horror films are nothing, I sit down and just shake my head. They sometimes bore you or there are too much gore or seeing way omuch action.
    The newer bunch of actors have no clue how to act and some o these directors are awful.
    Just stop making remakes and think of something else. Go to the horror books, there are plenty of them to give out a better film than they make now. House on haunted Hill was okay, Hostel was plain awful since the director had no clue and the story line was okay. There was too much gore, the torture wasn't neccessary and it's better to leave a body part behind so you can use your imagination.
    Oh yes, I forgot teenagers don't have any since they play too many video games, they don't like to read and they like to get in trouble with the law. Too many games and films, would do that.
    If you bored read, not play. Try writing or painting.

    Of course i'm gonna see Bioshock.

    Currently according to Wikipedia, Craven is set to direct
    25/8

    And he is producing & directing
    Shocker (Remake)

    And solo producing
    The Last House On The Left (Remake)
    &
    The People Under The Stairs 2.

    But i don't reckon this film will do good unless it has Kevin Williamson whose not even attached and Craven, who isn't attached but has expressed interest.

    But i'm gonna note this, if they use the concept of Michael T Kennedy's treatment, then ladies and gentlemen we got something spectacular to look forward to with or without Williamson or Craven, because the whole concept is remake vs original

    I have plenty of faith, but as I predicted, the fight continues under Inside Man 2. I was not speaking of you J.A., but someone else that seems to pick a fight no matter what the subject.

    A cult of killers?
    It's a bit farfetch'd by mind you so was the identity of the killer in Scream 3.

    well i'm guessing this one is going to use the theme of original vs remake. As for many of the fan posters have

    'Some Psychos have taken their love for remakes a step too far'

    I liked how in the 3rd one they just made it one killer. It definitely surprised me. It sounds crazy but they should have like a small cult of killers doing the killing in the fourth one.

    Well your be glad to know Courtney Cox'x character gets left for dead in this one through a car crash.
    Also i've just finished reading the treatment, its a little confusing i can't really work out weather there are 2 or 3 killers in this one.
    There is definately 2

    Young, old doesn't really matter to me. As long as its made. Who needs f*cking Courtney Cox anyway, she looks like a man the older she gets.

    lol i meant like the way Incredible Hulk was a reboot to the Hulk Franchise.
    Brief this is going to be a sequel reboot, that is possibly what they mean by a 'younger version of Scream'

    SCRE4M is going to be a sequel but its going to reboot the franchise as well

    This posting is about Scream 4 sh*thead, no some damn Hulk. Ottley, your a legitimate *sshole, who shouts about lies, lies. Your still trying to fight with me, man. Give it up, because you suck at it. Nough said.

  23. J.A.Ottley.Writer / Director

    Also it appear that this is going to be a sequalised reboot, kinda like 'The Incredible Hulk.'
    But it's going to mix the old cast with a new cast, they are basically aiming to turn it into a franchise again

    I'm not fighting with any one anymore, if killerman wants shoot an incoherent comments at me so be it.
    I can't be bothered with the fighting anymore.

    Also Killerman, i'm gonna point this out you maybe right according to an interview i've just read, SCRE4M was announced in July 2008 and has been given Craven's permission and he has explored interest in directing the film or some how being part of the production.

    He has talked about SCRE4M with Neve Campbell

    Also if movie web, knew anything they'll know it's called Scre4m.

    I just read the script opening of the treatment, the opening sounds 2 reminiscent of Drew Barrymore's death in Scream. But that's because it's a treatment not a script and it doens't have fully fleshed dialogue.

    It starts off with the killer having 2 teenage girls on the fone called Caylee & Rachel and you got figure out which house he is in.
    Not bad of an execution he slices Caylee's neck in the car

    Mate Kevin Williamson ain't writing this script, my friend on msn is mentored by Williamson himself, who am i gonna believe a randomised source from Bloody-Disgusting or from someone that lives across the road from Williamson and gets mentored by him in screenwriting.

    Craven, Williamson, Campbell, all stated the franchise is dead and ended with the trilogy.

    OMG don't you know who Johnathan Craven is, the son of Wes Craven and his current screenwriting partner henceforth why the majority of Craven's recent stuff has been a pile of sh*t.

    There is no possibilities of Craven or Williamson coming back because there were no possibilities in the first place at stake to put up, because they were never returning.

    I just got a few updates from my friend on MSN here is your confirmed writer for Scream 4, his name is
    Michael T Kennedy.

    And the film doesn't get the go ahead without Wes Craven's permission.

    The film is somehow set between part 1 and part 2 apparently both Sidney Prescott (not confirmed yet to be reprised by Campbell).

    Also Jamie Campbell will reprise his role as Randy Meeks, if ther film is made (so therefore it would fit in the timeline between 1 & 2, since Randy was murdered in Scream 2).

    Do the research first before you start shooting off your mouth

    THEY SAID ITS A GOOD POSSIBILITY CRAVEN'S COMING BACK AND THAT MUST MEAN WILLIAMSON IS COMING AS WELL. IT WON'T FAIL NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOUR DUMBASS WISHES IT WOULD. JONATHAN CRAVEN, WHAT?!! YOUR AN IDIOT DEAD FRANCHISES ARE BROUGHT BACK TO THE BIG SCREEN, MORON, A LOT OF THEM. nOUGH SAID.

    3 years agoby @killerman200Flag

  30. J.A.Ottley.Writer / Director

    I doubt this film will ever get anywhere, because Kevin Willamson ain't attached to writing the script, and no Craven just scream failure.
    Who knows maybe Johnathan Craven will direct it and probably write it, although John ain't as good as his dad at screenwriting.

    If this is made i see straight to DVD happening, there is no way a dead franchise can return back to a theatrical release.
