'Scream 4'? Keep on Dreaming... 'Scream'? Now We're Talking!

While we broke the news way back in January that Courteney Cox Arquette and David Arquette were made offers to return in Scream 4, currently being penned by Kevin Williamson (Scream 2, Scream 3), It looks as if we were right about everything but one thing.... Entertainment Weekly confirms our breaking news adding that Williamson is instead scripting a reboot of the franchise for Dimension Films, instead of the third sequel. They also confirm the news that this begins a brand new trilogy. What they fail to mention is that Neve Campbell was also made an offer and that "this will be a younger version of the Scream movies," as we previously reported. Old news, with a new twist. Scream remake. Shocking? Nope. Now talk...

Remaking Scream already? Seriously now, what the fuck. What's next, a remake of the remake of Halloween? I used to be onboard with all these remakes, but ever since I saw that they were doing a Predator remake, and then an Alien remake, it been really pissing me off. Stop this nonsense already.

Yep, those three letters say it all... WTF? Sounds weak.

Argh, this rebooting needs to stop.

Now we've gone too far...way too early for this...Scream 4 would've been fun but a remake? Time for some new ideas people...

This is bull! It depresses me to know that these idiots that run studios have no respect for their film. Scream is very recent! Stop your screaming and start your weeping. Film ideas ended in 2000. Now in the noughties, everything has been done that the human race is eating itself.

The trilogy is barely 10 years old and they are already remaking it? WTF this is the dumbest news I've read in a longgggggg time. I don't even think asking why is appropriate though.

sigh...it seems nowadays you can only find original ideas in independent films, or at film festivals. I am really beginning to despise major film studios...and im really fucking tired of hearing the phrase "reboot". Reboot, remake, re-imagining...fuck it all, come up with something original

This is exactly why we have to wait for horror movies from other countries- Americans can't do shit when it comes to original horror.

Remaking Scream? Already? wtf? For serious, this is disappointing news. Makes me sad, really! Come up with something better, please! Scream 4 would have been a better idea.

I'm not going to complain anymore about the remakes, I'm just going to laugh. It's an absurd comedy.

I don't get how they can ask The three of them to return and have it be a reboot. I think it is technically Scream 4 but they don't want to call it that.

This is crazy. I was all for a few remakes but it's out of control now. Every movie ever made does not need to be remade. I wonder if they're going to remake the remakes in 20 years.

I think they mean it's the start of a new trilogy with all new characters, not a follow up to 3.

If anything needs a (massive) reboot, its Hollywood.

Kevin Williamson surely is smart enough NOT to reboot a franchise that is not that old and clearly doesnt need to be 'rebooted'. I say it will be Scream 4. As if the original cast would come back for a reboot. Fuck, I hate that term !!!

This is fucking great , Scream rules how mather it will be made.

Isn't Scream only 13 years old? Hell didn't the last sequel just come out 7 years ago? This seems a bit weird to me, considering Scream is the only horror movie that's being remade that I SAW IN THE THEATER. I was either not born yet or too young to see any of the others.

I think it is basically the sequel/reboot with the 3 main characters for a cameo, or brief appearances in the story(ies) and then the set of IT actors in the movies with the killer wearing ghost face, but have nothing against the three characters from original trilogy. These days sequels don't sell ! So reimagining, reboot are the right words to get people's attention

they should do the same thing with Saw...instead of another sequal, they should put out a rema...sorry.."reBOOT" of the first film, and then a year from it's release re..boot... Saw 2! It'll be a never ending cycle of remakes!!!....I MEAN REBOOTS!! REBOOTS!!!

It could be good... if they actually satirize the remake trend with a remake. I mean the sequels made fun of sequels, so then the "reboot" should make fun of remakes. Right?

I don't get why they are having the old cast come back. I guess I need to see how hit pans out. If they bring them back to kill them, I won't be happy @ all. I was happy with them Alive. No one left I wanted dead.
