It's hard to find someone who does not at least half-like the Scream trilogy. It's toungue-in-cheek approach to 90's horror flicks were a milestone in the evolution of horror films today.
Ten years on, and it looks like we'll be seeing a lot more of the Ghost-Face Killer, with producer Bob Weinstein set on making another 3 Scream films. Yes, that's another trilogy they're planning on milking out of this cult-hit. I have many reservations about this, namely being the question "What more can they do?" And that is testament to the superbity(I hope that's a word) of the Scream trilogy and how dangerous it could be to mess with it.
The plotline of the 3 films was all tied up nicely at the end, with no gaping holes left to be filled (except how they're going to use time travel to bring back Randy, still scratching my head over that one, yet still hopeful)
The main premise, so far what we are told on Wkikipedia is that:
"ten years that have passed between Scream 3 and the upcoming fourth film and there have been no "real life" Ghostface murders but have been numerous sequels to the movie-within-a-movie Stab. [Wes]Craven stated on the life status of Sidney Prescott, "She's done her best to move on from the events that occurred in the previous films, even releasing a successful book". Craven said that endless sequels, the modern spew of remakes, film studios, and directors are the butts of parodies in the film. The main characters have to figure out where the horror genre is in current days to figure out the modern events happening to and around them"
Hmmm sounds like an interesting idea, although I'm still hedging my bets whether this is just another "Hey-let's-remake-classic-horrors-and/or-pointless-sequels-to make-money-type-situation.
The Arquettes and Neve Campbell are up for another jaunt so maybe it'll be good. Still I want more info on the storyline and how they're gonna bring back Randy(I'm now betting on a DVD Randy made before he died, and before they were in circulation or even able to get) before I part with my money to go see this film.Watch this space.
Pfft who am I kidding I work at a cinema, I won't pay.
