UPDATE; Randy Making a Return in 'Scream 4'? What About Craven?

Update: Wes Craven's assistant tells Bloody-Disgusting that she's 99.9% sure that Wes Craven has yet to be approached for the project, contrary to reports. We'll have official word by days end. We're working on confirming this as we speak, but until then, iFMagazine caught up with Jamie Kennedy at the TCA's CBS afterparty to promote his new role on CBS's THE GHOST WHISPERER where he reported some very, very interesting news regarding Dimension Films' Scream 4, which has become the center of the horrorverse over the past week since its surprising announcement. Read on for the story.

Despite having having been killed off in the franchise, it seems as if Kennedy could still be involved once again as Randy.

"I actually had a conversation with somebody very big in the organization, and there’s a way," he tells iF. "I don’t know what’s going to happen, but they have plans for a lot of things. You can see new faces that you wouldn’t expect and you can see old faces that you wouldn’t believe. There’s a way to bring a lot of things around."

When asked if director Wes Craven would be involved, Kennedy confirmed that it's "the only way they're going to do it."

Kennedy's enthusiasm for the film seems to contradict the story reported by Moviehole this weekend, which claims that Neve Campbell is holding up the project. Watch for further developments soon.

still not convinced that this is a good idea.

If Craven's on board, it could, at the very least, hold up to the other Scream movies.

If Jamie Kennedy is in this, I'll be really pissed. Just cause his character was liked doesn't give him the right to be in every sequal. If his name is mentioned okay thats fine. I thought the whole video thing in Scream 3 was kind of stupid, and if he for some reason is on the screen in Scream 4... ugh. Just, the character is dead.

I personally feel that a "new" director would better serve the expansion of the Scream Franchise. Wes Craven is an icon, however, for every Nightmare on Elm Street, there was also a Cursed. Pleatherface out.........

A flashback with Randy might work.

Oh, okay then. If Jamie Kennedy and Wes are on board I might see it. But it's still not right.

Never should have made Scream 2 or 3. The original was a great stand alone movie.

If all this reporting and fan reaction doesn't show TWC/Dimension that this film should be made they are nuts. People are talking about it in droves. Also not sure how this report contradicts Moviehole. Seems that Moviehole confirmed that the one dudes script is being read just as BD confirmed this. Also it seems Moviehole has a source AT Dimension taht gave them the info regarding Neve's holdout too so maybe both reports are on the mark????

the only way it's going to work if it gets like a french horror type treatment maybe someone like Alex Aja--doubt he'd do it though and they seriously need to kill of Sidney or at least annoying Gale

writer928, i agree w/ you. the Scream movies have TONS & TONS of fans who are STILL interested in more Scream movies. i'm surprised Dimension hasn't come out w/ one long before now.

Yeah! Bring Wes and jamie back! But this Campbell bitch is not gonna give up, please Neve, we want you NOW!

Lemme guess....Randy miraculously survives his Ghostface encounter, goes bat-shit crazy in seclusion, and exacts his revenge in the 3rd sequel. Wow. That'd be hilarious!! Oh! maybe add a cross-over subplot involving Gale Weathers and Julie James in a lesbian romance. And Dewey got a sex-change!!! WELL....if they're gonna keep destroying franchises (like this one is really stable...) you might as well do it right!!!

to pleatherface31, wes craven only did 3 out of the 200 nighmare movies, those 3 were the best that franchise had to offer, i think that if he were to do the next scream, it would be ok because he's had time to cook up some new ideas, but Kennedy's character? come the fuck on......why?......what is that going to do other than make absolutly no sense, im saying boycott!! that part

My guess: Sidney Prescott is involved in a traumatic accident that causes her to be institutionalized. Everyone thinks she's crazy and she insists she's once again being stalked by the masked killer.


Screamer

No, come to think about it, Randy will not be in it. They had a plan to have him survive his killing in Scream 2 to come back in Scream 3 but obviously figured out themselves that would be retarded so it didn't happen. They're not going to do it now. And if he has a video about "the rules of a fourth..." I'll be really upset, lol.

OK I THINK IF EVERYONE THAT was INVOLVED is INVOLVED it could be good, with chances it could suck. I really think this would be better than the CRAP that comes today; TOURTUE.... Throw in some nudity. TOURTURE... throw in some stupid dialouge..and what do we have MINDLESS crap, Not TO MENTION the remakes!!!!! WE really need something entertaining. I would rather watch a slasher sequel over anything right now.

Craven only directed 2 Nightmares.. The first and the last... His track record is more sound than some would lead you to believe. But, then again, he did give us a dog flashback, so...

More news on Scream 4!!! We are getting lots lately arent we!!! In Scream 3 they were on about the idea of bringing Randy back with some sort of story that his parents whisked him away into hiding,with him being mentioned coming into Scream 4 it gets me excited!!! A brilliant character whos presence was missed by loads since the end of his death scene im sure!!! If the concept is good enough to bring him back "Somehow" then i welcome it,will be even more impressed if craven says yes,but i do always remember him saying that the money would have to be right and he would have to have control of it all.All i can say is i hope he gets his wish and the weinsteins realise that its sensible to let him if he agrees!! ill be checking back whenever possible for more news on this!!!

As long as we have Gale and Dewey I'm straight.

David Arquette and Courtney Cox have not been approached about scream 4 yet. I have talked with David VIA email and he sounds like he would be up for doing it. I also asked if the thing about neve not returning was true. He said that he hadnt heard anything about it.

Sounds interesting.. Im sure both the Arquettes would love a retun as it holds strong personal feelings for them both because its how they met,fell in love,and got married!!

Ghostface.co.uk Owner... be smart and think about how dumb it would be if Randy was alive the whole time. I can't believe even with you being such a huge fan of the series, that you would want him to come back in the fourth. That would be so stupid, just think about it. The scream movies never were supernatural. A guy cant come back from the dead, and then run away from the new killer... ugh.


Ghostface.co.uk Owner

I know, but if he was to have some super excuse that people could believe or just to have the story go in a way that they have a flashback into the past or something along those lines... it would be just good to see him in a new film again in some sort of way,on Scream forums i always see topics that want billy and stu back and i always say that they are dead and thats that,its the same case with randy,but as i wondered in Scream 3 before seeing it,could he had been still alive somehow and could he have sent the video to make it look even more like he was dead from a "Killer returning for all" point of view so he wouldnt even be thought of as a target again,basically i loved his character and was really annoyed when he was killed off. i know it isnt realistic to bring him back again but he is missed by ALL Scream fans im sure.. If the fans were asked whilst filming Scream 2 whether he should live or die then i definately know he would have lived!
