Wes Craven on the New Scream Trilogy

June 8, 2009

Last week, it was reported that Courteney Cox Arquette and David Arquette were in talks to star in a new "Scream" trilogy, which screenwriter Kevin Williamson is working on. Now, Digital Spy got a chance to ask Wes Craven, director of the first three movies, about the new project.

Craven tells the site that he is willing to read the script, expected to be done in August, and make a decision then as to whether he will direct the films. He also mentioned an interesting bit, saying that the Arquettes are confirmed to star and are the only ones returning from the original trilogy.

Check out the full interview here!

Hopefully it's a stand-alone trilogy with it's own originality and twists.

Blah...if they can come up with a really interesting concept, I guess it might be worth doing...I sure can't think of anything else they could do with this franchise, though. At least it's not a remake!

Agree with @Bruce Lee. Sounds like the Arquettes are desperate to revive their fast-declining careers and want to jump back in the spotlight with old merchandize. Is there really anything new to gain from a new trilogy? What’s going to be the plot? A guy/gal in a mask runs around slashing teens? Hopefully Wes Craven bows out of this project and focuses on the new ideas.

It's going to end up like Terminator Salvation.
