A few weeks ago the Weinstein Company and Showtime released a press release telling of their collaboration. In this press release, they passingly mentioned that a SCREAM 4 was in the pipeline, but didn’t divulge any details as to what their plan was… only that there was a plan for it (check out that story HERE).
Jump to today, and we have a little more details on what’s going on on the SCREAM 4 front. First up, Moviehole scored word that writer Michael T. Kennedy submitted a script for the long awaited sequel about 6 months ago, though the script has not been greenlit yet. Also, word around the campfire is, no Neve Campbell, no SCREAM 4… TWC will wait to make the sequel until Campbell comes around and agrees to star. Since she hasn’t done squat in the last few years, it’d be a good idea for her to finally give in and do it… but as she’s held out for 8 years, I highly doubt it.

The other piece of news comes from ifMagazine. In a chat with franchise star Jaime Kennedy, Kennedy revealed that a) SCREAM 4 is being actively talked about, b) the only way TWC would do it is if Wes Craven returned to direct, and c) Kennedy’s character (Randy) would return for the sequel… even though he was killed off in SCREAM 2. Sound crazy? You bet your ass it does, but that doesn’t make it less true. Head THIS WAY for the full chat–he also talks about who else might be returning to the franchise…
What’s the takeaway message then? I dunno… just that SCREAM 4 is a hot topic for TWC and past franchise stars, and that no matter what anyone says, it’s in th pipeline and may just be made… sooner or later. Now I just want to see how they plan on having Randy and others return from the grave for a part 4…
Come one Neve, just say YES to SCREAM 4!
