Wes Craven Gets Closer to Directing 'Scream 4'

An interesting "tweet" out of director Wes Craven this morning as he exclaims, ""I had dinner with KW last night, and the script sounds fantastic!" KW is Kevin Williamson, who has been working diligently on a screenplay for Scream 4. Craven gad stated that if he liked the story and they paid him enough that he'd return to the franchise he created. Cross one of the two demands off the list. Thus far Neve Campbell, David Arquette and Courteney Cox are all confirmed to return in the fourth flick that will turn on a younger cast.

I'm looking forward to it although I won't hold my breathe.

So glad to hear Wes likes the script. Can't wait! Hopefully it will still be R rated (the talk of a younger cast scares me).

It'll be Rated R.

Been waiting long enough for it...let's go. If Craven and Campbell are involved this is gonna be a great follow up in the series...

It's interesting how quickly the concerns about R ratings come up in these discussions, despite the fact that 90% of remakes/sequels to R-rated films end up with that rating. There have only been a handful of PG-13 updates of previously R-rated franchises, and despite their commercial success and a lot of doom-saying among fans, there doesn't seem to be a big frenzy in Hollywood to "clean up" R-rated material to broaden the audience. Platinum Dunes makes all their remakes/sequels rated R, the Weinsteins have stuck with R for the most part, and many projects once rumored to be going the PG-13 route (SORORITY ROW, LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT) have ended up being R anyway. Really, only Screen Gems has adopted the "PG-13 or not at all" mantra, and they won't have anything to do with SCREAM 4, or most of the other highly anticipated horror films due to hit theaters over the next few years. I don't want to see PG-13 horror take over either, and frankly, it doesn't appear to be doing anything of the sort. It's just kind of funny that the one thing that people who actively seek out scary movies are truly afraid of is having those movies be less shocking.

I really wanna see how SCREAM turns out with this new generation of horror fans.

I think its great Craven might be on board, but at the same time I could care less about a scream sequal.

Meh. I lost interest after the original. They all have pretty much have the same plot, but different variations. The first one was about the rules of horror films in general, the second was about the rules sequels, the third trilogies, and now...remakes. So let me just take a shot in the dark and say this film will be all about surviving remakes, and somewhere in the plot they will try to fit in some retarded explanation for the killer's motive by saying he was neglected as a child, and now wants to seek revenge on Sydney (and anyone standing within two feet of her) by recreating the events of the original, all because her mother was a whore. Surprise !

I really REALLY hope wes signs in for scream 4 if he doesn't, lets expect the movie doesn't get ruined with this one

I'm not a big fan of the scream movies, never was but if they're something Wes created and if he's being involved again then I'm all for it. I just wish he was involved in the nightmare on elm street remake instead but that's another story.

I reckon Craven sealed the deal ages ago to direct, now they're just teasing us.

I'm very excited that Neve has signed on to it; if Wes does return it will be a dream come true. I was always very afraid that they would go on and make Scream 4, a decade ago, because I feared it would diminish the impact of the series as a whole. But now, so many years later, I can't help but feel excited everybody is returning and apparently because the script sounds very promising. Let us hope for the best...

Hearing that mostly everyone's returning, I'm excited. Don't know how much Wes wants to direct but it can't be THAT much, can it? Fingers crossed!

Will Mr Ghostface ever be scary again??

If they can make Jason and Freddy scary again, I'm sure they can make Ghostface too.

Ghost face was never scary, come on people. I like the look of ghost face, but let's face it, he didnt exactly give anyone nightmares.

Wes didn't create Scream - Kevin did. But I'm very excited for this.

Am I the only one here that despised the Scream series? *sighs* If only Wes was involved with Elm St. instead of another Scream.

Sorry Darkness001, but you are in the minority. Scream was fucking balls out awesome when it came out. Sure, it's not as effective as it once was, but it still holds a very special place in my heart! Cannot wait to see Scream 4, especially since the old crew is returning!! FUCKIN BRING IT ONNNNN

First off the only good scream was the first. The other 2 skimped out all the kill scenes. They also had horrible plots. I hope that with the brutality of rob zombies movies these days and the new mbv that they put some of that in scream give it balls again like the first
