I LOVE Wes Craven... he is definitely a master of horror/suspense and all things scary. And the first Scream was awesome. But after two sequels enough is enough. Can't he just move on from that? Even when movies are successful sometimes it is enough already. Same thing with the whole Saw phenomenon... Saw VI, are you kidding me?? (But of course I'll have to see it since I already invested time in the first 5!) Wow! I LOVE Wes Craven… he is definitely a master of horror/suspense and all things scary.

When I spoke w/ Wes' CE two weeks ago, she said... no script yet. Maybe he started in the last few weeks. OK. When I spoke w/ Wes’ CE two weeks ago, she said… no script yet.

The second one was full of interesting ideas and there were enough unanswered questions from the first movie to justify the sequel. But Scream 2 fell apart after Jamie Kennedy's character was killed off. Basically, after his wonderfully tense death scene, the movie just lost it's edge and became a standard issue predictable slasher movie. It threw away all its capital with a preposterous, over-acted, totally unimaginative ending. (BTW - the right ending would have been to have random copycat killers who were totally unknown to the leads, just joy-killers who were emulating the killers from the first film... and to have a lot of them... a whole gang) The 3rd movie was an abortion. Didn't Ehren Krueger write it? I remember at one point he was considered a hot new writer, but every movie with his name attached has been terrible.

Wes said he wont come back unless its a great script. Kevin didnt write the 3rd, so with him, Neve, Courtney, David and Wes, it will be hard for it not to be better than the last. I think it will be great. Sidney will not be the killer, it will be pretty obvious if shes not getting attacked or called the whole movie while everyone else is. Oh, and the script is halfway done. Kevin's twitter keeps you posted on at least that much. Wes said that they had dinner and the script sounds amazing. It will be great. Wes said he wont come back unless its a great script.

Craven does have some awful movies under his belt. Just because he's coming back, doesn't necessarily mean it'll be great; to me at least. I don't know, I think they should've left it as one good one and that's it... First one was good but that’s about it. Craven does have some awful movies under his belt.

Kevin Williamson has been writing it for the past month or so. Actually, um, yeah, there is a script. Kevin Williamson has been writing it for the past month or so.
