It’s not news that Kevin Williamson had written Scream 4 as the beginning of a new trilogy, with plans already sketched out for the next two films. But after seeing the latest entry, I’m left scratching my head as to where they could go with it. I really hope this new cycle doesn’t burn itself out as quickly as the last one; there was nothing left to poke fun at by the time Scream 3 rolled around.

Wes Craven recently sat down and revealed some non-news about the continuation of the franchise – if it’s even fast-tracked given the poor reception of Scream 4 – which you can find past the break due to spoilers.

Taking an opposing side to Dimension Films’ Scream 4, David Harley was NOT amused with Wes Craven (interview) and Kevin Williamson’s slasher sequel, in theaters tomorrow.

In fact Harley was so in “meh” about Ghostface’s return to theaters that he gave the film a whopping “this is a film” out of 5. Yikes.

Arriving in theaters this Friday, Dimension Films is going all out in promoting Wes Craven’s monstrous Scream 4 (review), which is positioned for a mega boxoffice opening.

Stars have been making their talk show rounds, debuting new clip after new clip. Inside you’ll find footage from the crappy “Jay Leno Show” where star Kristen Bell shares a look at the opening scene with Anna Paquin.

In addition, you’ll also find a clip that will bring you into the teased “Scream” haystack party where Gale (Courteney Cox) sets up a bunch of cameras to spy on the kids. Dewey (David Arquette) can see what’s going on behind her. Wink, wink.

BD Interview: Director Wes Craven on ‘Scream 4′!

The tagline to Scream 4 may be “New Decade, New Rules”, but the “rules” for director Wes Craven have more or less remained the same over the last 40 years – keep making movies. Now 71, the still-youthful director has rarely strayed from the genre he made his name on (Music of the Heart was an anomaly, thank god), and to the delight of Scream fans everywhere he returned to the director’s chair for the highly-anticipated fourth installment, reuniting with original cast members Neve Campbell, Courtney Cox Arquette, and David Arquette to bring to life a new Kevin Williamson-scripted tale of tongue-in-cheek mayhem.

B-D’s Chris Eggertsen recently caught up with Craven to talk to him about the new sequel, with the director giving insight into the process of updating the franchise for a new generation while keeping true to the tone of the first three movies, deciding how much blood was too much, and taking on the much-publicized additional photography that followed an early test screening. See inside for the full interview – and lest you forget, Scream 4 opens everywhere on April 15th.

In this fresh clip from Wes Craven’s Scream 4 star Hayden Panettiere chats with Emma Roberts’ annoying ex-boyfriend, who ends up being the notorious Ghostface killer. Unfortunately the clip was recorded off a TV with an Android, but hey, it beats nothing.

In addition, a hilarious article was posted over at The Herald in Australia where mothers at Albert Park primary say their children are spooked by the enormous Scream 4 poster that towers over their school. It features the masked “Ghostface”, an evil knife-wielding killer.

This story is HILARIOUS considering how many kids run around wearing “masks” during Halloween. Do these psycho, overprotective parents lock their kids in the basement on October 31? Cry me a friggin’ river. Full story here.

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.”

It’s a Scream 4 extravaganza as we’ve got all sorts of goodies leading you up until next week’s release (April 15).

First, and the most exciting in my opinion, is the brand new cover for Entertainment Weekly, which features good ol’ Ghostface! It’s rare when mainstream media gives horror this much love; only good things can come of it. You can watch a video of the photo shoot from set here.

Included in the article, screenwriter Kevin Williamson opens up about the on set turmoil: “Everyone was second-guessing everything, because everyone wanted it to be so perfect,” Williamson recalls. His arguments with Weinstein intensified over the months and ultimately came to a head. “Oh, I got in a big fight with Bob,” says Williamson. “We got into a massive fight creatively, and we hugged it out and then we moved on.”

Also, beyond the break you can dig on a fourth clip that features a bit of death, alongside two new TV Spots.

Next week Bloody Disgusting will bring you an exclusive interview with director Wes Craven, with the official review on Wednesday.

While the rumors have been flying for months now that original Scream 4 scribe Kevin Williamson – who was forced to leave the production early due to a scheduling conflict with “The Vampire Diaries” – became upset when Ehren Kruger was brought in for rewrites, when we asked Craven about the controversy earlier today the director was quick to deny (or at least plead ignorance) that any bad blood exists there. He instead maintained that the majority of what’s in the finished film was present in Williamson’s original script.

When you look back at the 90s in retrospect, the horror output seems better than it really was. You’ve got In The Mouth Of Madness, From Dusk Til Dawn, Dead Aive and a variety of others, but there were really only enough GREAT films to fill up a Top 20 for the decade. After wallowing in (fun) stupidity for the entirety of the 80s, the genre slowly began gravitating away from functioning in excess by default – after all, you can only be considered over-the-top and boundary pushing for so long before everyone starts copying you and you seem boring in comparison. With only two or three memorable horror films materializing every year, something really needed to be done. Something that would completely tear down the genre and rebuild it from the ground up. Something like Scream.

Scream-Trilogy.net caught a random tweet by horror director/producer Eli Roth that indicated he was interviewed for a forthcoming Scream documentary — only they discovered it wasn’t for the effort previously announced here on Bloody Disgusting. They learned that Scream: The Inside Story is being directed by Dan Farrands, the man behind the absolutely astounding Never Sleep Again: The Elm Street Legacy and the subpar His Name Is Jason: 30 Years Of Friday The 13th. Slasher fans will also recognize him as writer of Dimension Films’ Halloween: The Curse Of Michael Myers. They also learned that this will be a made-for-TV event that will air on A&E/BIO Channel next year, presumably close to Scream 4‘s April 15 release.

Anthony Masi, who is currently producing the Hellraiser documentary, is reteaming with horror journo Ryan Turek on a definitive look at the Scream franchise. Given the blessing of Bob Weinstein and Wes Craven, Turek and Masi have been hard at work on the doc since March and have amassed dozens of interviews with cast and crew from the series. The feature will also include a fictional tie-in that’s to be filmed in Los Angeles later this month. “This documentary will include rare archival footage, never-before-seen photos, new on-set stories, and will reveal the entire success of Scream from its inception right up to the new movie,” Masi tells Bloody Disgusting. Plans are to release the doc (DVD and TV) to coincide with Scream 4, in theaters April 15. Turek, editor-in-chief of Shocktillyoudrop, wrote and directed both the Hellraiser and Scream docs.
