‘Scream IV’ Script Tremendously Long, Extended Shoot
In a story regarding the super top secret Scream IV cameos of Anna Paquin and Kristen Bell (more here), Borys Kit of the Heat Vision blog reports that the Wes Craven directed sequel is turning into an epic. “The script, according to insiders, is 140 pages long,” he writes. “The general rule of thumb is that one page equals one minute of screen time; 120 pages of already long by horror movie standards so expect some serious cutting (no pun intended) in the editing room.” And if that wasn’t enough, the 42-day shoot is being extended due to the lengthy script. The new wrap date is September 24. Great, that’s three more weeks of Wes Craven and Dimension Films tweeting (the same thing over and over again) 4,000,000 times a day. Scream IV will arrive in theaters April 15, 2011.
Filming is underway on The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man for Universal and Blumhouse, which will be howling its way into theaters on January 17, 2025.
Deadline reports that Matilda Firth (Disenchanted) is the latest actor to sign on, joining Christopher Abbott (Poor Things), Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel), and Sam Jaeger.
The project will mark Whannell’s second monster movie and fourth directing collaboration with Blumhouse Productions (The Invisible Man, Upgrade, Insidious: Chapter 3).
Wolf Man stars Christopher Abbott as a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.
Writers include Whannell & Corbett Tuck as well as Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo.
Jason Blum is producing the film. Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Whannell are executive producers. Wolf Man is a Blumhouse and Motel Movies production.
In the wake of the failed Dark Universe, Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man has been the only real success story for the Universal Monsters brand, which has been struggling with recent box office flops including the comedic Renfield and period horror movie The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Giving him the keys to the castle once more seems like a wise idea, to say the least.
