I really liked Scream. Slasher flicks tended to fall into stereotypes and rather than trying to come up with something tired, Scream took those stereotypes and rode them out. It was beautiful.
Two sequels later the nail was driven, and Scream 3 just made no sense at all.
So rumour has it that they planned on rebooting the series, but now the Arquettes are in talks to be in the next film suggesting that this will be a sequel, likely with a whole new cast with these two as the only tie to the original trilogy.
Coming Soon says:
Entertainment Weekly has learned that Courteney Cox Arquette and David Arquette are in talks to star in a new “Scream” trilogy.
The magazine says that writer/director Kevin Williamson has been working on more films that will bring back many of the characters from the original movies. It is expected to start production this fall.
Aside from the Arquettes there are very few people left from previous films. Kind of the way it works in a Slasher series.
I liked Neve Campbell’s character, because well… shes tasty. And I was kind of hoping all this mental torture she endured would suddenly make HER the killer. All that would drive a person crazy. Perhaps to the point of becoming what they fear just to get a sense of control again.
Would you be interested in a fresh continued chapter of the Scream movies?
