Weinstein has confirmed to Variety that Scream 4 will indeed be the first in a new trilogy. Knowing this ahead of time, rather than having to keep retrofitting the overall structure as he did with the first 3, Kevin Williamson should be able to fashion a more coherent series than last time around. Wes Craven is, thankfully, in talks for the director’s seat and Neve Campbell has been freshly signed.
She had been playing hard to get, and Williamson has tweeted in the past that he was unsure how to make the films work without her. Troubles over.
Personally, I won’t be happy unless each and every film in the new trilogy features Red Right Hand by The Bad Seeds. It could even play a more active role this time, if Williamson decides to work it into the plot. That could be fun. A Marco Beltrami score wouldn’t go amiss either.
It looks like Craven will be needing a new editor, however, as Patrick Lussier will be busy directing a 3D Halloween picture for Dimension. That’s just one of the many stereoscopic flicks that Weinstein discussed in the interview, also confirming plans for the Short Circuit, Hellraiser and Scanner remakes, all of them with that extra, third dimension in place. Unclear is whether or not the Children of the Corn remake will need the funny shades to watch, or if it will be a plain and simple 2D affair. I’m banking on the 3D option.
