Scream creator Kevin Williamson has spilled some deets regarding the upcoming Scream 4!
Williamson says he’s still working on the script for the fourth installment of the film series, and we’re not getting just one new Scream flick – we’ve been gifted with a whole new trilogy!
Williamson explains how the new trilogy came to light:
[Exec. Producer] Bob Weinstein has been bugging me a hundred billion years, “Let├óΓé¼Γäós do it. Let├óΓé¼Γäós do it.” Wes [Craven] and I were like “no way.” Then finally I was taking some time off, sitting around thinking “what if I had to do Scream 4?” I wasn├óΓé¼Γäót interested, [but then I thought] “a trilogy ├óΓé¼ΓÇ£ now I├óΓé¼Γäód be interested! Could we do that and develop a trilogy?” and then I started thinking about the story. I created three different chapters, broke it up and I got really excited.
Scream 4 will pick up 10 years from where Scream 3 left off, according to the screenwriter.
Wes Craven has yet to sign onto the project, considering the script has yet to be completed, but Williamson is more than positive Poppa Craven will attach his name to the film, whether he likes it or not!
Kevin continues:
Wes is a director who wants to read the script before he commits. And I think that’s kind of where it sits right now. But I believe that with Courteney and David [Arquette] and me and the gang all back together again├óΓé¼┬ª Just from an emotional standpoint I don’t see how he can pass it up, because I just think it would be too much fun for him. Because nothing has been more fun than making those movies. It’s a family, and I think we agree that we can’t go back and have a family without Dad at the head of the table. So I have a feeling that we’re going to make him go. Between me, Courteney and David, we’re gonna make him do it.
Williamson also confirmed that both Neve Campbell and Jamie Kennedy will not be reprising the roles of Sidney and Randy in the new trilogy.
We won’t miss Kennedy, but bring back Sidney!!!
