Wes Craven has always been a go-to guy when it comes to horror. Usually he manages to make horror entertaining. Not just gore, not torture porn, not exploitation slasher. Those all bore me. But real scary entertaining stuff. Didn’t see Cursed or RedEye, and he has 25/8 coming up. So what’s next?
Scream 4? Say it isn’t so. Well Wes did say it. Or he didn’t.
MTV Movies says:
Clearly watching his words very carefully, Craven told MTV News, “There has been talk between Bob Weinstein and me about doing another ‘Scream.’” Pausing a moment and the master horror director smiled, “I don’t know whether that’s been made public so I’ll deny this. I never said it!” Sorry Wes, we have it on tape.
I really loved the first Scream movie. Wes Craven hit it out of the park with that one. And as good as he is I don’t know that he could have done much with Scream2 – wasn’t bad. But then there was Scream3 – Didn’t see that big reveal coming! Because you didn’t even get a clue. So out of left field.
As with most series, the bigger the number on the sequel, the less it made sense. I loved Neve Campbell in this, but then I adore her anyways. But honestly if they drag her into this story one more time she should be the killer. Pushed over the edge. Otherwise leave her alone. It would be really sad to see her running from Ghostface again and finally just say “Fuckit. Kill me. No wait, I will do it myself!”
They should have left her out of the sequels entirely.
So this is still in the “Hey Wes, we should do this thing” stage, so we will have to see what comes of it.
