Kevin Williamson talks SCREAM 4
Kevin Williamson has his work cut out for him and he knows it. The original writer behind the Scream franchise and creator of the hit TV series The Vampire Diaries talked with MTV about how it’s going trying to create yet another followup to the postmodern horror classic.
From MTV:
“The fourth one is an ensemble,” Williamson said of his Scream 4 script, which is being concurrently written with a fifth script as well. “It’ll take place right now, 10 years later, and it’s going to take place in [Sidney Prescott’s hometown of] Woodsboro. We’ll have our three main characters (Sydney, Gail and Dewey), and we’ll be introducing several more.”
“I guess I’ll just have to be very aware of the fact that we’re a 4 and that we’re beating a dead dog. I’m going to make that very apparent in the dialogue.”
Fourquels are comedy gold. Superman IV: Quest for Peace, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of Crystal Skull, Bring It On: In It to Win It. Those are all perfectly good starting points for lampooning sequel crazy Hollywood.
Of course, it will just be nice to have the characters back in Williamson’s able hands after the disaster that was Scream 3.
