Back in late July we reported on an interview with Scream franchise writer Kevin Williamson, who had stated that Director Wes Craven and his people were “done with him.”
Well, Craven quickly responded on Twitter, and it was lost in the shuffle. Bloody Disgusting reader ‘D.I.O. Ian’ was kind enough to point us in the right director, as shown below, where Craven publicly makes it clear that he thinks Williamson is a genius, and that he’d work with him again. Williamson saw the tweet and responded with an emphatic, “OH no!!! I love you!“
This misunderstanding could easily be one of the reasons a fifth Scream has yet to go into production (there’s also a sixth planned, at least in Williamson’s mind). In the meantime, Craven has been executive producing the MTV “Scream” series tat now has a director and cast.
The 2011 Scream 4 also underperformed, not even topping $40M (the production budget) here in the States. It did, however, make close to $100M worldwide.
@wescraven OH no!!! I love you!
