‘Scream IV’ Officially Greenlit with Wes Craven Attached
It looks like I’ll be eating my words as Dimension Films has greenlit Scream 4 to shoot this spring with a release date of April 12, 2011 — more than a decade after Scream 3. Wes Craven’s directing and Neve Campbell, David Arquette and Courteney Cox Arquette are reprising their roles along with a group of young actors.
Dimension said its 2011 slate focuses on continuing its most successful franchises. The original “Scream” grossed more than $170 million worldwide in 1996; “Scream 2” also took in more than $170 million and “Scream 3” topped $160 million after it was released in 2000.
Craven helmed all three “Scream” pics with Campbell, Arquette and Cox Arquette starring.
“‘Scream’ has been such an integral part of Dimension’s history, and I look forward to continuing the franchise,” said Bob Weinstein, co-chairman of The Weinstein Co.
TWC’s most recent releases are “Nine” and “Youth in Revolt.” Dimension is set to open “Piranha 3D” on Aug. 27.
Sony returns to their own Marvel universe with the upcoming Kraven the Hunter, which has been bumped all over the release schedule. This week, it’s been bumped once more.
There was a time when Sony was going to unleash Kraven in theaters in October 2023, but the film was then bumped to August 2024. It’ll now release on December 13, 2024.
Kraven the Hunter will be the very first Marvel movie from Sony to be released into theaters with an “R” rating, with lots of bloody violence being promised.
Aaron Taylor-Johnson stars as the title character, Marvel’s ultimate predator.
“Kraven the Hunter is the visceral story about how and why one of Marvel’s most iconic villains came to be. Set before his notorious vendetta with Spider-Man, Aaron Taylor-Johnson stars as the titular character in the R-rated film.”
Ariana DeBose will play Calypso in the upcoming Kraven the Hunter movie.
Christopher Abbott (Possessor) is playing The Foreigner, with Levi Miller (Better Watch Out) also on board. Alessandro Nivola (The Many Saints of Newark) will play another villain, but character details are under wraps. Russell Crowe and Fred Hechinger also star.
J.C. Chandor (A Most Violent Year) is directing Kraven the Hunter.
The screenplay was written by Art Marcum & Matt Holloway and Richard Wenk.
