Scream 4 Writer Talks Sequel Influences
12 November 2009 10:20 PM, PST | newsinfilm.com | See recent newsinfilm news »
Screenwriter Kevin Williamson is busy these days. He’s writing the script to Scream 4, producing episodes of “The Vampire Diaries,” Tweeting, and now writing/directing a remake of 1987’s The Bedroom Window.
Williamson is the sole reason I’m excited about a fourth Scream movie. Sure, Wes Craven may or may not sign to direct it, but the return of the writer from the first three films gives me hope for a worthwhile slasher. The meta Scream series has been somewhat reliable in parodying horror cliches, so I’m crossing my fingers for a slice and dice of modern cliches.
What does Williamson have in mind? He told the NY Post, “I’ve [included] manga comics, Asian ghost girl movies, there’s some PG-13 horror movies in there, vampire movies, M. Night Shyamalan movies and torture porn movies, even though they’ve come and gone.”
Sounds like he’s tackling quite a bit. »

Taylor Swift Expected to Play Vampire in 'The Vampire Diaries'
12 November 2009 7:42 PM, PST | Celebrity Mania | See recent Celebrity Mania news »
It appears that Taylor Swift will start her career on small screen. Kevin Williamson, the screenwriter of Paul Wesley-starring TV series "The Vampire Diaries", reveals that he once approached the famous actress/singer to make a cameo in the show, but she couldn't make it because of her hectic schedule.
"My new obsession is getting Taylor Swift! I think she's gotten too big for 'Vampire Diaries' now -- I tried to get her on the show once, but she was touring," Williamson told New York Post. "But I'm desperate to have her come play a vampire. Wouldn't she make an amazing Kirsten Dunst circa 'Interview with the Vampire' type? Oh my god, I can not tell you how hard I'm trying to get her -- I would kill to have her on the show!"
In addition to Swift, Williamson admits he wants to have the Sidney Prescott of "Scream" film franchise, »

Kevin Williamson talks ‘Scream 4′ and the possible killing-off of Sidney
12 November 2009 12:54 PM, PST | ReelLoop.com | See recent Reel Loop news »
Writer Kevin Williamson says “there are a lot of twists and turns” in the upcoming Scream 4. Twists that may potentially include the killing off of Neve Campbell’s Sidney Prescott.
In a recent interview with PopWrap, Williamson refused to confirm whether or not the main character will be dead, but he did not rule out the possibility.
“The thing about Scream 4 is that there are a lot of twists and turns, so I can’t promise anything,” Williamson said about the Sidney character. “There are a lot of moving pieces, so we’ll see — but if you’re a Scream fan, I think you’re really going to like it.”
Williamson also chatted about which elements would be included in the next Scream: “I’ve [included] manga comics, Asian ghost girl movies, there’s some PG-13 horror movies in there, vampire movies, M. Night Shyamalan movies and torture porn movies, »

Kevin Williamson to Script Remake of The Bedroom Window Between Screams 4 and 5
12 November 2009 11:28 AM, PST | Slash Film | See recent Slash Film news »
We're in the current of a raging river of Kevin Williamson at the moment, with Scream 4 news popping up almost every day and his new TV series The Vampire Diaries - which I've yet to see any of, being in the UK - proving to be a fairly strong performer. It's just like 1998 all over again when Scream 2 was giving way to hype for Scream 3 and Dawson's Creek was clogging up the pages of TV Guide. I'm pretty happy about this comeback myself. I like Williamson and I definitely love Scream. As well as revving up his own horror franchise for another spin around the block, Williamson has another gig in his datebook. Between completing the Scream 4 script and embarking on the pages for the fifth, he's set to write and direct a remake of Curtis Hanson's The Bedroom Window. Actually, as the film was »

Kevin Williamson's 'The Bedroom Window' Remake Coming Between Fourth And Fifth 'Scream' Movies
12 November 2009 8:00 AM, PST | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »
Between launching hit shows like “The Vampire Diaries” and writing three (!) eagerly anticipated scripts for the upcoming “Scream” sequels, you’d think Kevin Williamson would be a pretty busy dude. You’d think he wouldn’t have time to focus his abundance of creative energy anywhere else. Well, think again.
“The other thing that’s exciting that’s coming up is I’m doing a remake of ‘The Bedroom Window,” the “Dawson’s Creek” mastermind explained when we caught up with recently. “It was Curtis Hanson’s first film. With Steve Guttenberg and Elizabeth McGovern. Go look it up. Put it on your TiVo; it’s fun.”
Released in 1987, “Bedroom” was a modest hit based on the novel “The Witnesses” by Anne Holden. Similar in theme to the Alfred Hitchcock classic “Rear Window” (or for anyone under the age of 20 reading this, “Disturbia”), it was a modest hit that helped »

Sidney Prescott Could Be Killed Off in 'Scream 4'
11 November 2009 11:05 PM, PST | Aceshowbiz | See recent Aceshowbiz news »
After it has been confirmed that Neve Campbell will reprise her role as Sidney Prescott in "Scream 4", there is wild rumor that she will be killed off in the upcoming movie. In a recent interview with PopWrap, screenwriter Kevin Williamson refused to confirm whether or not the main character will be dead, but he did not rule out the possibility.
"The thing about 'Scream 4' is that there are a lot of twists and turns, so I can't promise anything," Williamson said about Sidney role. Teasing the fans of the thriller film franchise, he promised, "There are a lot of moving pieces, so we'll see -- but if you're a 'Scream' fan, I think you're really going to like it."
Williamson additionally shared about what elements will be included in the fourth "Scream" film. "I've [included] manga comics, Asian ghost girl movies, there's some PG-13 horror movies in there, »

Kevin Williamson Talks Scream 4
11 November 2009 10:49 PM, PST | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »
A lot's happened to the landscape of horror films since the original Scream trilogy wrapped a decade ago. The lank-haired pasty-faced female ghouls of J-horror; the Saws and Hostels and their ilk; PG-13 teen-friendly fare; and of course the restarting and/or remaking of practically any horror franchise with lasting name-recognition, which we're sure Scream 4 will be po-mo enough to comment on.Plenty of material for screenwriter Kevin Williamson then, who confirmed to the New York Post that those are the directions he's planning to take the script, whilst being very careful not to come off like National Lampoon: "Scary Movie spoofed these films, so one of the things I'm excited about with Scream 4 is that, while we do send up the genre, we make it incredibly scary. That's first and foremost."We've known for a long time that Williamson would be back for the Scream re-launch (he wrote the first two, »
Kevin Williamson Talks Scream 4 Influences and the Fate of Neve Campbell
11 November 2009 7:31 PM, PST | Reelzchannel.com | See recent ReelzChannel news »
Kevin Williamson is still finishing his script for Scream 4, but he told The NYPost what influences he is using for the sequel.
I've [included] manga comics, Asian ghost girl movies, there's some PG-13 horror movies in there, vampire movies, M. Night Shyamalan movies and torture porn movies, even though they've come and gone.
Scream 4 will see the return of Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, and David Arquette as the trilogy's main survivors. Yet, when asked if Campbell, who was the last to confirm she'd return, will survive yet again through the next trilogy of Scream movies Williamson is planning, he replied, "I can't promise anything."
However, he did say to expect laughs and, more importantly, scares.
You have to be careful because Scary Movie spoofed these films, so one of the things I'm excited about with Scream 4 is that, while we do lampoon and send up the genre, [we] make it incredibly scary. »

'Scream IV' Writer Talks Sidney Prescott's Fate, Death Scenes and Comedy
11 November 2009 1:13 PM, PST | bloody-disgusting.com | See recent Bloody-Disgusting.com news »
The NY Post caught up with Scream IV writer Kevin Williamson to ask specifically about the fate of Sidney Prescott (played in the previous three films by Neve Campbell) in the forthcoming sequel from Dimension Films. For those of you keeping track, Campbell had originally passed on the project and caused major turmoil for Williamson, who admitted on Twitter that he had big plans for her. Eventually Campbell came around, and now the fate of her character is in focus. "The thing about 'Scream 4' is that there are a lot of twists and turns, so I can't promise anything," he told PopWrap about Sidney's role in the fourth film now that Neve will return. "There are a lot of moving pieces, so we'll see -- but if you're a 'Scream' fan, I think you're really going to like it." »
Kevin Williamson Talks Influences and Creative Direction for Scream 4: Torture Porn and Twilight?
11 November 2009 12:30 PM, PST | Slash Film | See recent Slash Film news »
Over the last few months, it's been revealed that the first entry in the new Scream trilogy, aka Scream 4, is set in Sidney Prescott's hometown roughly a decade after Scream 3. And contrary to old rumors, the first film will not be in 3D. Courtney Cox and David Arquette were signed to reprise their roles from the get-go, and following a prolonged declination, Neve Campbell signed much to the relief of writer/creator, Kevin Williamson. (He had expressed dismay on Twitter at rewriting the trilogy without her). The final puzzle piece, Wes Craven, remains in talks to direct, which is arguably the most important to its success besides the script(s). But that still leaves doubt as to whether Williamson---who's had renewed Dawson's Creek-like success with the CW's Vampire Diaries---still possesses an irreverent sensibility to update the franchise for a contemporary world of tailspin pop culture and younger, »

Williamson Talks More Scream 4
11 November 2009 11:17 AM, PST | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »
The horror genre has undergone quite a few changes since Scream single-handedly rescued the genre from box office oblivion back in the mid 90s (I can’t believe it’s been over ten years already) so news of a fourth film has really piqued Dread Central’s curiosity. Will Scream 4 be in line with the gorier, nastier flicks that came after the self-referential trilogy, or can we expect some good-natured winking to accompany our slashing? We’ve got an answer for you.
The New York Post’s PopWrap talked to writer Kevin Williamson about the looming fourth film in the franchise: ”The thing about 'Scream 4' is that there are a lot of twists and turns, so I can't promise anything", meaning any of our returning characters might not live to see another sequel beyond 4.
Commenting on the changes within the horror genre, Williamson said the following: "I've [included] manga comics, »

Kevin Williamson is juggling a lot of projects, but the one we're keeping a careful eye on is Scream 4 (check out Afm teaser art ). In a recent interview with the NY Post's PopWrap, Williamson - who is still writing the sequel - addressed recent rumors about killing off Sidney Prescott (returning actress Neve Campbell) by saying, "The thing about Scream 4 is that there are a lot of twists and turns, so I can't promise anything. There are a lot of moving pieces, so we'll see - but if you're a Scream fan, I think you're really going to like it." While the initial Scream trilogy took its cue from '80s slasher films, the upcoming films will have to comment on horror in the last decade. Williamson says much of Scream 4 is inspired by "manga comics, Asian... »

‘Taken’ Director ‘Signals’ For ‘More’ ‘Action’
4 November 2009 11:00 PM, PST | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
I don't know if Richard Potter is a good writer, but I like his movies. The Executive in Charge of Production for flicks as diverse as Nightwatch, Teaching Mrs. Tingle and Scream has sold a few scripts lately, and alongside writing partner Matthew Stravitz has locked down a serious directing talent in Pierre Morel for their next film - Signals. The Taken director will be tackling what The Hollywood Reporter is Hollywood reporting as a tense thriller. They even reference absolutely brilliant film Three Days of the Condor in describing the tone. Media Rights Capital has greenlit it, slapped it on its bottom, and sent it out onto the fast track to play with the other kids. I know what you're all thinking. You're thinking that with this, Morel will continue down the same thriller path and possibly make his signature with taught action. You're welcome for overusing the word 'signals' as a pun in the title »
