You knew it was only a matter of time, and it looks like the time is approaching. The Weinsteins have confirmed that they fully intend on making Scream 4. The folks over at JoBlo share the following:
They continue: “The fans have been asking for a 4th Scream movie for years and we’re finally giving it to them. As far as details go, we’re only in the planning stages and we may not get around to it [Scream 4] for quite some time, but rest assured, it will happen.” The one positive to come out of this – maybe – is that SCREAM 3 scribe Ehren Kruger most likely won’t be on board: he’s just been assigned the chore of writing TRANSFORMERS 2.
Ok, here’s another situation where I’m a little out of step with many other film fans (especially Serena). I really don’t get the big deal about the first Scream movie (Don’t get me started on the other 2). Don’t get me wrong… I’m not saying it was BAD or anything like that… I just don’t see the huge appeal that makes so many people rank it so high on their all time favorite horror lists. To me it was somewhat predictable, not really frightening and sort of underwhelming. Although it was quite original and certainly gets points for that.
With the strike coming, it’s not surprising that they’re saying it may take a while to get this thing made… but it is indeed coming. So what do you think? Happy or Sad to hear they’re making a Scream 4?
I just read that Neve Campbell has signed on to do scream 4; I can’t wait to find out about the rest of the cast.
hi my name is sarah and i really like your movies.
when i always see scream jump out i jump is well.
i love the scream movies!!:)
ok 1st off… Neve is gonna b in the movie, but if the writers are smart they’re gonna break their own standards. y have here in the entire movie when she can b killed in the 1st scene ending her story and starting something new…. or maybe she’s not dead… :) yea Sid could b the killer but that wouldn’t fit well with the theme of the series. I see it being something more on the lines of Dewie and Gale’s kids. I’m sure a lot of ppl are pissed off at them. Hell Gale wrote the book that got turned into the Stab movies and a lot of ppl died because of that film. Y not have the killer as a child of a previous victim that then turns the hero’s into new victims and their family into new heros. I guess that would be similar to scream 2/3ish. It’s been awhile since i seen the films. All i can really say is the series broke the cliche’s of the 90s. I have a feeling they’re gonna break the cliche’s of the 2000’s as well…
I’m glad there is going to be a scream 4; I don’t know what took them so long. I think it’s bad that Neve Campbell will not reprise the role of “Sidney Prescott. I think it would have been interesting if she had a cameo at beginning of the film like Drew Barrymore in the first scream movie. I hope she’ll change her mind. I look forward to scream 4; I think hollywood is making too many horror remakes and it’s really annoying already. One more thing I Wes Craven returns as the director.
hi hi i am back.i am 12 now. i still havent seene any sign of scream 4 i am getting verry anxious 2 c it!!!!!! i am also anxious 2 c new moon verry cool! so hurry uppp!!!!!!!!!!!!
OMG I’m a huge fan of the Scream franchize and I would LOVE to see a 4th installment but only if you have the original 3 actors star in it which are Neve Campbell, Courtney Cox Arquette, & David Arquette, I know that Courtney and David are signed on but Neve isn’t yet which is just crap because the whole movie series is about her and she should be back, if she isn’t signed on to play her role as “Sidney Prescott” there’s no point to watch the movie because its crap.
yes it would be great if they made another sequel. razza bee, your right when you say that billy loomis needs to come back. that would be cool. but on the other hand it may end up being horrible because i think we all want to see a new killer. maybe even seeing gale or dewey being the killer would be very exciting.
I think that the first movie was amazing
the second movie wasnt that great
and the third was pretty good
also, i heard it was most likely that neve would not be returning for scream 4. i think she should have some descensy and at least do a death scene in the beginning and then it would lead on to dewey and gale.
but mostly i dont think this movie is even worth watching if it is not directed by wes craven. it wont be the same without him.
I strongly agree; Neve should do a death scene at that beginning of the film. I think that would add more mystery as to who done it and the motive. I hope Wes Craven directs it because, with out him as the director it just wouldn’t work. His films always have you on the edge of your seat; I see why he’s called the master of horror.
they were all amazing and a fourth needs to be made, someone needs to find a way to bring billy loomis (skeet ulrich) bak into it, slightly unrealistic but it wud be good!
Hi. I’ve always been a fan of Scream, and Neve Campbell. I believe it has been some of her best work. I’ve been hoping for a 4th every since I saw the end of the 3rd Scream. Personally, I think either Billy’s father should be the killer (angered about his wife leaving him for Sid’s mother, and also about sid killing his wife and son), or to make an even better story, that it go further back to Maureen faking her death to escape her life, and to make herself famous, killed and made it seem like it was from her. This would make it go further back than the brother (because lets face it that was a good one! definitely hard to top). Either that, or like someone else said previously, make a prequel about Sid and her mother, before her mother died. Or another great idea would be that Sid and Kinkaid have a baby and they have to protect the baby from the new killer because he’s angry that the Prescott generation has continued, and to get to Sid, he has to go after her daughter. It’d be great for him to somehow have the child kidnapped and to get her back, he makes a call and puts the child on the line to get her to come to where he needs to be. There are many possibilities, BUT if they’re going to make a fourth one it MUST have the old actors/acresses in it, and it must follow the same story with new rules, and it must be so good that it surpasses the other movies. I can’t stand a sequel that doesn’t surpass its original. If you like any of my ideas, please let me know by e-mail.. Thanks!

Oh and on the topic of whats been going on here…anyone like the idea of Detective Kincaid (sp??) being the next killer…I mean he should be in it because he was at her house in the last one…
Alright,
The reason that the scream movie is rated sooo highly is not because it was this absolutely amazing movie and what not. The reason for it for me is because the movie broke soooo many rules of the genre at the time that it came out. If you ever watch the movie with the directors and writers dits you see what I mean by breaking the rules…well cliches really. Although I’m a bit nervous about Scream 4…I don’t really know where they could go with it even though I do want to see the movie.
PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!! tell the truth about sceram 4, because i am only 11 and i have benn a sceram famatic since age:6 . i kmow iam a little young ,but i just love scream 1,2 and i really love 3 . also what leaks123 said about changing all the movies an making it like rob zombie did ,please don’t i was not aloud to watch it ! my mom said he made it to nasty! so dont make all new movies just make scream 4. one more thing what leaks123 also said about changing the whole cast DO NOT DO THAT! one of my faveorite things about scream is the charaters Gale,Dewie,and Sidney .they make the movie. please dont change anything, the cast,nothing.i mean why try to fill 3 or 4 empty bellys when millions of people like me are full of saticfaction with the origanl 1,2,3 and maby 4. all i am saying is keep working on # 4 , and dont change any thing
hay all your scream movies are awesome and im the scream that trips over every thing . please com out with scream 4 erlyer and me and my freind want to be scream in scream 5 please. u are awesome
For me personally , I dont know about anyone else but in my mind all three Scream movies were terrible. They were like the chucky series, completly predictable, more funny then scary.Im thinking that before a scream 4 comes out maybe they should consider a revision of the series, like Rob Zombie did with Halloween.( Zombie’s Halloween was unbelieveable; just as good as the original if not better). If that doesnt work try a possible whole new cast, continue the series perhaps but in a new direction, make there be a new victim instead of Sidney. A true copycat seriel killer.
An idea that I think would be good and possibly help the new movie is this sceneiro….
Stuart Macher(Matthew Lillard) the second killer in the first movie is not dead ( note a tv was dropped on his head ). Bring him back somehow I mean Jason, Meyers they came back so many times why not do the same. Have him as a solo killer, seeking revenge for what happened to him, and to his partenr Billy.
Just some ideas I know im not a movie writer or critc, but I am a fan of horror movies, and I think something along those lines would make for a great Scream 4
what Rob Zombie did with Halloween was so bad and wrong. No one should ever redo the Halloween movies 1 and 2. What he did sucked so bad. I hated it. What he can’t come up with his own movies so let remake a movie that was great and make it bad. Give me a break. The scream movies were mad to be more funny then scary thats whats so great about them. possible whole new cast what are you talking about..it wouldn’t be the same without them in it are you nuts….what would be the point of the story line…hello. No copycat!!!!!
scream 4 yessss!!! i think it would be great…scream 1 2 n 3 where really good with great story lines..i think scream 4 should be like scream the beginning as in starting the movie from the beginning, bringing sidneys mother back and showing how the relationships she had and showing her when she was rina reynolds..and explain everything that happens before all the madness happens and show sidneys mom getting killed..thats just what i think it would be a different take of the scream movies…
and this would mean bringing all the characters back evenn the ones who got killed in 1 2 and 3….
oh my god that would be a great story line, but the only thing is everyone is older now (all the ones that were killed off) how would that work. I guess they could make them look younger. This could work. I hope they read the blog so they can get this one ………great mind. I would love to see all of them back for the 4th movie.
A classic! I went 6 times to the theater at age 16 to see Scream. Sure the other two were not the best, but they are a hell of a lot better then most of the horror movies that have come out in the last ten years. I applaud the series. The scripts of the trilogy is what made scream. Its rich characters to whom I’d love to go see 6 times or more in the fourth, but not if they don’t have a decent script. I believe the actors will turn down thier roles if the script and movie team ruin thier characters.
I have always wanted them to make a 4th Scream. I think it will be awesome. Although, there is always a chance of it being terrible. But, I think the only way that I would watch Scream 4 is if the main characters return. So far, from what I have heard, and seen, there are going to be five major (main) characters from the Scream Trilogy that returns for the fourth. Although, they are not giving any names.
i think billy loomis’ father would make a terrific killer for scream 4. storyline could b that maureen prescott left him because of sidney and he gets angry and goes to kill sidney
Well i personally love the idea of scream 4 but, yeah, where will the ideas be from i mean it kinda of somes things up in scream 3 but will there be a higher on the food chain serial killer. not her brother.or will there be a copy cat like perhaps her brothers son or something.or someone else be involved? well i will just have to sit back and watch it wont i ?
i cant wait until scream 4 comes out i hope its as good as scream 3 and neve cambell and david and courtney arquette have to be in it because they r the only ones that make scream good :P we can only pray
I loved the scream movies and have been waiting for another since the thrid one ended. The Scream costume is what got me hocked:) and I can’t wait to see Mr Ghost face on the big screen again. They could go back and tell the story of Sid mom or start a new chapter with a new cast. I’m looking forward to another scream movie and If you hated the movies here’s an idea stop posting on forums on how much you didn’t like the movies walk away and don’t go see Scream 4 when it comes out so simple and alot less stress in your life.
hello i loved the other sream movies they were mad please make a 4th one
i think its a great idea for a scream for the third one has been out for a while and its time to get to business and make the fourth but all the same caracters should be in it i think it should have a crazy ending like mayb one of or two of the main caracters being the killer like dewey and gale or what a ending for sydney to be the killer and be behind the origanal killings all along please make it and release it asap
please make a scream 4 and please wes craven let neve be in it if she wants beacuse its not going to be the same if the same 3 movies of neve (sindey prescot) is not in it.and i cant belive dewy is the killer and sindy dies and gail is the only one and gail turns out to change her carrer about her newsreporter job into a book writer. well i want it like this sindy dosent die gail stays an newsrepoter and dewy isent the killer .well bye!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
please make a scream 4 and please wes craven let neve be in it if she wants beacuse its not going to be the same if the same 3 movies of neve (sindey prescot) is not in it.and i cant belive dewy is the killer and sindy dies and gail is the only one and gail turns out to change her carrer about her newsreporter job into a book writer. well i want it like this sindy dosent die gail stays an newsrepoter and dewy isent the killer .well bye!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Maybe Neve will be in it. Check this out:
The unofficial Scream 4 script?
http://scream4movie.blogspot.com/
.
I hate to say it, but I’m only disappointed that Neve won’t be in it. But I supose she had to grow up sometime.
I love the slasher flicks, they’re great brain dead fun. And in today’s world with crap like the “War on Terror” by President Bush being the fictional alternative, who really wants a working brian?
I’m also sorry that Wes Craven won’t be directing. He’s a much better director than President Bush.
Presidents should leave bad fiction to good directors.
Scream 4, so much better than the Presidential alternative.
I hear that Neve Campbell will be back for the 4th as well as David Arquette and Courteney Cox Arquette. I can not wait until this movie comes out. I loved all of them. Now my son loves the movies as well, he walks around with the Scream Mask lol..He is too cute…
oh and I do believe Wes Craven will Directed this on as well so I have read. It will be great..
That you describe him as “cute” and runs around the house with the mask on suggests this is a child.
Who in their right mind would let a child watch a slasher horror flick? You are a terrible parent.
Scream should stay where it is..the 90’s, and they shoulod have stopped at Scream 2…
I agree with you John, none of the Scream films got my attention, and I couldn’t even finish watching that dreadful 3rd installment. I hope this movie bombs badly
What fans were asking for Scream 4? Other than the awesome original, the Scream flicks are shit.
Scream 1 was good…but that may be because I saw it when I was like 12-13, and I had to stay home alone at times…which scared the crap out of me whenever the phone rang. Perhaps it was my small child mind at the time, but I didn’t see the twist at the end (there being 2 killers and not just 1). I’d never seen any scarey movie that pulled something like that before.
The 2nd one was alright but the whole reason the guy was killing people was pretty stupid (violence in movies or some shit), and they recycled the idea of there being 2 killers.
3rd one was complete trash.
No reason to make a 4th other than that Hollywood chooses to not be original anymore which is a bad thing for the most part. But I’d rather see this than another Resident Evil movie.
damn…you beat me with putting this aricle up..:P Very much looking forward to this..even though I know I shouldn’t.
they should do the remake of the movie with more blood but a 4 is not a good idea a remake its a good idea like the new hallowen movie but about scream
Scream was great but the sequels are beyond bad.
they turned into the very thing the first film was making fun of.
“fans have been asking for another scream for years”??? what both of them?
give me a break……
The reason most people were ultimately pleased with the first two is that it was a satire on pop-horror icons. It not only made fun of the horror franchise but willingly became one. It’s the wit that brought the audience back in the theaters (ex: Scream 2’s opening was a)an african american couple (stereotype: the black man dies first) b) they were in a theater (as was everyone watching the movie) c) Jada Pinkett Smith was commenting on how she would survive the scene she was watching while the killer was right next to her.
A perfect example of the parady of horror movies. Also made people uncomfortable with those themes, most with realizing that that’s why.
They already made Saw 4….it’s out later this month…:p
No seriously I know what you mean…but….I cannot, will not let this pass.
I had a mixed reaction on Scream 1.
I had a mixed reaction on Scream 2
I loved Scream 3
Scream 4? On one hand, I’m not surprised someone will pick up the Ghostface mantle, but…will this mean another message from beyond the dead (you know what I mean)? Will the three main folks (Husband/Wife Arquette and Cox…Neve…) return?
Or will the “rules” of this outing be How by the third sequel in horror films, not one of the actors from previous films will return; so the killer must target new people?
Or will this go in the way of the “I Know What You Did Last Summer’ films where, in the third film The Fisherman is now a bogeyman/Jason type?
Will I be holding my breath? Waiting in the soda pop concession line?
No on both.
