Devastating News For Scream 4 - Writer Kevin Williamson Replaced!
We could tell that there were some creative conflicts, but this is terrible, terrible news.
Kevin Williamson has reportedly dropped out of production of Scream 4, and is being replaced by the writer who nearly killed the series with his shiteous Scream 3, Ehren Kruger.
We don't care that he wrote The Ring - let's be real, even Parker Posey and Jenny McCarthy couldn't save the third movie!
Apparently, Williamson is said to no longer have any involvement in the series, and the changes being made with the script are what's causing the actors to drop out.
According to sources, Lauren Graham's character was originally "a fun role. Not big, but it had some meaty scenes." In Kruger's revision, "the part was reduced. She had like four lines."
The deputy sheriff role, originally given to Lake Bell, has also been cut dramatically, and even Hayden Pain-in-the-Ass is "beyond frustrated with the changes" because her character "used to be really sharp" but is now "dumbed down significantly".
Another source explains:
"The script changes have put a real strain on the cast. The original 'Scream' cast members aren't happy with the way that things are happening, so it's probably a good thing that [Graham] dropped out before things get messy."
And it appears that even poor director Wes Craven is frustrated - he just took to his Twitter to write:
I have not been given control of the script. #SCREAM4
Sounds to us like the studio got involved and took everything great about this movie and completely fucked it up.
We hope the studio execs get their heads out of their ass and just let Wes and company do what they do best, before this entire project implodes in on itself!
Get on your hands and knees and beg Kevin Williamson back - NOW!
Thoughts??

Snooki SUED!
is scream 3 the one where sidneys rich brother is ghost face?
oh the dramzzzzzz.
that's hella dumb! i was all excited to see the movie too.
He really didnt even write The Ring, it was a remake of the Japanese film "Ringu"…so he isnt even that creative, P. Get with the program!
Scream 3 sucked and I hope Wes Craven also leaves and the movie falls apart. I will NOT see it. Nev and the others need to abort ship as well. This movie just cannot be made, it wasn't meant to be made without everyone it was supposed to have. Nev, Courtney, David, Wes and KEVIN.
Besides, I was fine with Hayden and the others, but Emma Roberts as the lead? Ugh…no! It's supposed to have the biggest star die at the start and then a bunch of relative unknowns.
I didn't catch 3 but this sounds like it's going toooooo SUUUUUUUUCCCCCCKKKKK!!! AND it's a real shame because Scream is an amazing movie. The way everyone's jumping ship sounds like a DVD on a verrrrry sloooowwww night!
What a crock of horse SHIT! WTF are these idiots thinking?! Kevin Williamson HAS to be a part of these movies. He is truly an icon, and without him these movies will be HORRIBLE. I can't stand the thought of this, I completely agree with Perez for once. Seriously, what next? Are they going to replace Neve, David, and Courteney with Alvin and the fucking chipmunks?!
This movie is sinking little by little and its going to be a bomb!!!
shit. it might be good after all!
you suck!!! scream 3 was awesome!!! u know nothing!!! lol.. you think you do …. i guess when you are as ugly as you are inside and out you tend to be mad at everything better then you.. lol…. hahaha.. no wonder you love gaga so much yall are on the same level!!! ugly and talentless!!! lol hahahhahah and you are still fat!!!
I loved the third movie. I also loved the ring. I think this will be REALLY scary and still good so don't trip! Who really cares if hayden is smart or if lauren has lines?
unfortunate….
The Studio execs always fuck up everything!
Just checked up on some of the actors that were cast in place. Some of them are actually pretty kickass, but still BRING Kev back!!
Just worked on Scream 4 as a background actor. it seems like it's going really well!
