Comment RSSScream 4 – Sequel Plans
13.01.09 # Sequel # 20 CommentsScream 4 is finally starting to take shape, after being officially announced several months ago.
Without doubt the most exciting / hip time to be a horror fan in the last couple of decades was when Scream and Scream 2 came out. They made horror cool again, and were packed with clever references to the obscure 80s slashers you thought only you knew about. It was populist horror done with real brains and kick started the genre that had spent years in the wilderness.
Scream 3 carelessly dumped Kevin Williamson’s script (he was the screenwriter of parts 1 and 2) and suffered horribly as a result.
Good news is, he’s writing Scream 4.
Scream 4 is still in the early stages of development, but it’s said there is a good possibility Wes Craven will return to direct. (If he doesn’t, may I suggest Patrick Lussier, who has done good work on My Bloody Valentine 3D and was the editor of Scream 1 and 2).
Cast-wise, financial offers have gone out to David Arquette, Courtney Cox Arquette and Neve Campbell to play cameos. But this will be a younger version of the Scream movies. I have no problem with this, as Arquette and Cox in particular were looking tired even by the time of Scream 3, eight years ago.
More details as we get them.

I adore the first, the second is pretty damn good for a sequel, and the third … well … I remember being pissed that the secret uber killer wasn’t Jamie Kennedy (who should have faked his own death in pt. 2) and that the plot was lame. But the Carrie Fisher cameo was hilarious.
I’d be alright with a fourth I guess, if the writing was up to par with the first two. The writer they got for the third SUCKS.
Wes Craven really was at the top of his game for those two movies, the sequence where Randy is killed in the second one is a suspense masterclass.
Yeah, it really was awesome. I was so pissed when he made a “video cameo” in the third.
If you look back at the first two, he was TOTALLY set up to be the mastermind. Little details, like how the killer wipes the blood off his knife, didn’t change from killer to killer, so it was like they were setting up a person who was behind it the whole time. And the killer in the third movie was some lame Hollywood guy.
Did Kevin Williamson write a third script and they rejected it? Or did he just get too busy on Dawson’s creek?
And what’s he doing now?
Kevin Williamson wrote a script for Scream 3, but then Columbine happened and the studio became uneasy about a story with two young male killers – so they canned it.
Seems the last thing he did was creating a TV series called “Hidden Palms”.
I hate when they make sequels or whatever and don’t use the same actors for the part.
This movie is going to be lame as f**k.
hello people of scream 4, first of all does she have any more family that hates her for some reason in some way, 2nd could bring in a new group of collage kids and sydney has to help them survive the killings, 3rd what happen to sydney’s father with the killing through the years of time
come to think of it…
jaime kennedy actually had little details regarding him as the killer…in the 3rd (crapiest) i had a hunch that david arquette’s character dewy was the killer. there were times where the suspense creeped up and kinda gave the whole meaning “serial killer” a bad rep.
think about it. watch it again and just think…
what would have happen if the script was intended for dewey?
hmmmmm……
I think Sidney should a have teenage son/daughter take place in 4, there could be all kinds of twists they can throw into that. But I pretty sure since they have the original writers, this will be something clever. Cant Wait!
original characters or dont bother! as a matter of fact just dont bother…lol. the mere thought of another “Scary Movie” sequel is gonna make me “Scream”…lmao
what i reckon should happen is that dewey should be the fourth killer. he can be made to pay the guys to kill for him and take the blame. then he ccan get found out and syd can die… then the dad can kill him. so there can be series’s of “scream”s
Then dewey can get grudges for the dad nearly killing him, kill the dad then gale wheathers can kill him
the scream franchise is an interesting one….the first and third movies are the best and most inventive…
craven from time to tme always likes to bring out something new almost to ‘trick’ his audience…
its rumoured the forth movie takes place on board a luxury cruise liner….which breaks down and syndney is called in a detective role to solve the errie mystery which which will have sub conetxt of the serpent and the rainbow…ie voodoo and black magic…
apparently to get neve campbell to agree to the forth movie producers they had to persuade her play a different variation of her original role…
the movie is rumoured to offer a interesting climax…new computer imagery will create some elaborate set pieces and flashbacks connected with previous movies…
elaborate puzzles reminisant of the resident evil franchise will also connect certain scenes only previously seen in the elaborate 1991 game cruise for a corpse…
scream 4 will be the most expensive movie to date and the most ambitious of the series…(not to mention the most adult and may receive an nc17 certificate)
a new character within the scream 4 movie will be a magician on board the boat who is asked to perform a series of tricks to unlock a secret room…
the killer(s) in the movie may appear more than once and perhaps the first time to trick i.e through hynotism…
then later to kill in a particular way…he may also slightly resemble dracula (but not in a obvious way)
hence the killer is more intelligent in the forth movie the stakes are upped because he know what he must do achieve his objectives…i.e release a secret file on sydney prescot?
he may cast a spell on sydney which she then has to unlock to change her time perceptions in order complete the investigation…
the movie will start in the daytime and finish 2 days later in the evening….
to give the movie more visual appeal special cameras will capture footage in colour and black and white…a bookcase may appear from nowhere…
water will gently lap on a shore…syndey will drive a lamborgini through the desert to get to the liner…
Beverly hills cop 4 is rumoured to have a similar plot to the outline I have described above….(2/3 is rumoured to take place at night)
new york will feature at the beginning and for the movies climax…
unlike the previous movies it will not take place in beverly hills…but have more of a die hard feel with murphy offering a protection service rather than a traditional cop role; hence the working title ‘beverly hills cop reinvention…’
the movie will also have a strong adult tone similar to the first movie…some stunt work will be done with cgi last seen in mission imposible(1996)…
new scream is designed to offer new combinations on how we view reality where the killer is unknown and violence occurs through non touch because the path of the movie is largely unknown…in the forth movie the killers indentity will not be revealed because it is kept hidden behind a magicians curtain…
the forth movie will offer more intrigue on how we interpret good and evil…
wes craven is rumoured to be hiring teams of stunt people so he can exaggerate ceratin sequences and remove certain actors once the film is completed using digital processess to heighten the movies ‘feel’ at later stage also therefore improving the continuity of the picture…
also to ask the audience if there is more than two kilers operating together or indepedently?
