New Scream trilogy

[bwind22]

Craven added that his pay day for Scream 4 would need to reflect "what I've done for that company and what I've gone through on Cursed."

Hilarious. What did he go through on Cursed aside from helming a craptastic teenybopper Ginger Snaps ripoff that HDC's own Staci Layne declared the scariest movie of the year?

First teaser poster released...




Speaking with Entertainment Weekly, Wes Craven divulged a bit more info concerning the plot, which in true Scream fashion is delightfully meta:

"There have been 10 years of no Ghostface, but there has been the movie-within-a-movie Stab. We have fun with the idea of endless sequels, or "sequelitis" as Kevin calls it in the script. Sid goes through these three horrendous things, and Stab was based on those horrible things. And then they've been taken by a studio and run into the ground in a series of sequels. She has been off by herself and living her own life, and she's even written a book that has gotten a lot of critical acclaim. She's kind of put her life back together in the course of these 10 years. But, certainly, there would be no Scream without Ghostface, so she has to confront him again, but now as a woman who has really come out the darkness of her past."

Wes Craven and the Dimension Films team have started reaching out to young talent to join the cast of Scream 4.

Twilight’s Ashley Greene, Heroes’ Hayden Panettiere and Rory Culkin have all been offered roles, while Lake Bell is already in negotiations.

If they all sign, they’ll be joining returning regular stars Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox and David Arquette, who are ready to show up, albeit in a slightly more limited capacity as they pass the torch on to the new cast.

Greene is wanted to play Jill, Campbell’s cousin and the heroine of the piece, while Panettiere would be her best pal, a big film nerd (always a requirement for the terminally self-aware slasher series). Culkin, meanwhile is being lined up as a guy competing for Greene’s love.

Bell, last seen in It’s Complicated, is likely to appear as a police officer who has a history with Campbell’s Sidney Prescott.

Director Craven and writer Kevin Williamson are apparently trying to keep the new script’s secrets away from the prying eyes of the Magical Internet, and part of the secrecy involves only giving actors and their agents the most basic character descriptions, according to the Heat Vision Blog.

The story is still unknown due to secrecy but the plan is for the film to “be seen as a passing of the baton to a new generation of slasher victims,” which emphasizes that, if nothing else, we can look forward to some of these young thespians getting hacked up.

Kevin Williamson and Wes Craven, who kicked off the series as writer and director, respectively, will resume their respective roles for this latest installment.

Here’s some of the other stuff we know about the film, or that has been widely reported:

* Scream 4 is being written concurrently with a script for a fifth film by Kevin Williamson.
* The movie will be set ten years later in Woodsboro, and is described as “an ensemble” which will introduce several new characters.
* Williamson has said that Scream 4 will reference manga comics, Asian ghost girl movies, PG-13 horror movies, vampire films, M. Night Shyamalan movies and even torture porn.

The shoot is planned to kick off this July in Michigan.

Scream 4 is set to open next year on April 15, 2011.

I like what they've done with the 4 in the posters, looks cool.

I like the Scream flicks a hell of a lot more these days than when they first came out. Bit of a guilty pleasure really... I'll give this one a watch.
