Thanks to BD regular ‘JayKah’ who just sent us the following new image from Scream 4, Wes Craven’s sequel arriving in theaters April 15 from Dimension Films.

The new pic features Sheriff Dewey (David Arquette) in what appears to be a hell of a pickle.

“Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell), now the author of a self-help book, returns home to Woodsboro on the last stop of her book tour. There she reconnects with Sheriff Dewey (David Arquette) and Gale (Courtney Cox), who are now married, as well as her cousin Jill (Emma Roberts) and her Aunt Kate (Mary McDonnell). Unfortunately Sidney’s appearance also brings about the return of Ghostface, putting Sidney, Gale, and Dewey, along with Jill, her friends, and the whole town of Woodsboro in danger.”

Over the course of production there were a flurry of rumors that genre writer Ehren Kruger (The Ring, The Ring Two, Blood and Chocolate, The Skeleton Key, Scream 3) had come aboard to rewrite much of Kevin Williamson’s Scream 4 script. While it was more rumor than fact, no party ever really openly spoke about the situation.

Now that Craven is is post production, with an April 15 release date in sight, the iconic director opened up to UK mag Total Film and revealed exactly what went down on set in Ann Arbor, Michigan. You’ll find the full story inside…

I know this is big news to a lot of you, so in brief Wes Craven’s Scream 4 has been rated R “for strong bloody violence, language and some teen drinking.” Thanks to BD reader ‘JuLiaNNunezyoo12′ for the tip.

We heard the movie was crazy violent, so it’s nice to see the rating reflect that.

I love when a studio is able to get creative with a poster without making it look cheesy. While the last Scream 4 one sheet channeled the original trilogy, the newest looks forward to a new decade, with new rules. It carries a profile look at ol’ Ghostface that smoothes out into blade, giving a little nod to “Stab” and the killer’s signature weapon. A+

News? Well no, but director Wes Craven released a fun little behind-the-scene photo of himself working hard on editing Scream 4, which is set for release on April 15.

He teased Twitter followers with “Shhh… SCREAM4 Killer Revealed,” adding, “Gotcha!” for those who clicked through. Did you really think he was going to show you the killer? Come on now. Although, playing a game of semantics, he’s not lying as he does show a new look at Ghostface.

A Real-Deal Full Review from the 'Scream 4' Test Screening!

To kick off the New Year, Dimenion Films set up a slew of test-screenings for Wes Craven’s highly anticipated Scream 4. A few early, but incredibly vague reviews out of the showing were intensely positive, which I found hard to believe seeing that Craven flew back to Detroit for a few days of additional photography.

Since then, Craven has spoken out clearing the air that they were NOT reshoots, and that he was adding some sugar and spice to an already superior movie. This is standard practice from a director who gets back behind the camera. The truth is on film.

Anyways, Bloody Disgusting reader ‘KillorbeKilled’ was prevy to one of the test-screenings and was cool enough to send in his review. I’d say this is the first complete review that still is relatively spoiler-free. I have verified that our mystery writer was in fact at the screening. Knowing he enjoyed an early cut this much, Craven’s extra ingredients are sure to add more depth and flavor. How far away in April 15th again?

Director Wes Craven took to Twitter now that’s he’s hanging around set of Scream 4, which is currently under additional photography in Detroit, Michigan. He tweets, “Everyone’s a critic… even Ghostface,” before posting a behind-the-scenes look at Ghostface watching a scene on Craven’s monitor. Posting yet another pic, this time of some bloody props, he writes, “Warming up the Props!” Check out the second image inside.

In theaters April 15, Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell), now the author of a self-help book, returns home to Woodsboro on the last stop of her book tour.

'Scream 4', Wes Craven Clarifies: "They're NOT Reshoots!"

There’s a huge difference between reshoots and “additional photography”, which is why we clearly specify what’s taking place when a movie adds some new footage to the existing shoot. A lot of other websites don’t understand the difference, which is why directors get so frustrated with news leaking on “additional photography.” It’s not always a bad thing.

Wes Craven caught up with EW to explain what kind of filming took place on Scream 4 this past week in Michigan: “They’re not reshoots,” says Craven from the snowy set in Detroit. “We had a couple test screenings and we saw two scenes where they had moments you could add to and we just saw a spectacular opportunity. Bob [Weinstein] just said to me basically, `You go to your dark side and I’ll give you the money!’ [Laughs] The two scenes were really good, but we saw how they could be spectacular, so we thought, let’s just go for it. They were key moments of the script, so we just decided to go back and go for the grand slam on them.”

And as for reports that the ending was being retooled? Don’t believe it. “No, the ending is totally kick-ass,” says Craven. “We’re not gonna touch that. [The scenes being added to are] one scene that’s kind of in the late beginning and one scene that’s a little bit later.”

Now that this is laid to rest, can we can now focus on the April 15th release date? Please?

The director confirmed reports via Twitter adding that “Community” and “Mad Men” star Alison Brie would be making a cameo, while also adding the following image. “@AlisonBrie gets ready for her close-up,” he wrote.

'Scream 4' Going Back Behind Cameras

After a slew of test screenings on the East Coast, it looks like Wes Craven may be going back behind cameras to shoot additional film for Scream 4. On Location Vacations pointed out that one of their readers received a filming notice in Northville, MI (on Clement St. between 7 mile and Frederick) for Jan. 31 & Feb. 2 that simply listed a motion picture entitled “Z”. Anyone who was following the Scream 4 shoot last summer will remember much of the film was shot in Northville under the production name Z. Additional photography does not mean there are problems, sometime when the film is assembled they learn of soft spots that could be strengthened. Maybe they want more gore? Maybe they want a new ending? Who knows.
