In a Vampire Diaries-related interview with Kevin Williamson, the writer of the Scream trilogy talked about the upcoming fourth installment to IESB.
Below you’ll find an excerpt from their interview. Williamson says, essentially, that production needs to begin during Diaries‘ hiatus and that Wes Craven is going to direct. So far, Williamson is only contracted to do Scream 4 and Scream 5.
Q: Is it still a strong mystery of who this Ghostface will be?
Kevin: Well, that’s the whole point of the movie. What I have always liked about this movie versus the other horror films is that I feel like there are characters. In other horror movies, you remember Michael Meyers and you remember Jason. In our film, I think you remember Sydney Prescott because Sydney Prescott’s the victim and she has lasted for all three of these movies. The fun of the film is that it’s Sydney Prescott. That’s the difference and you care about her. I want to write a story where you actually care about our characters and it’s a plot that you watch them walk through. It’s not all about the next kill. It’s not all about slice and dice. I was watching Saw VI on pay per view the other night and I was like, “This is really just going from one kill to the next, to the next.” It’s fun, but I want to tell a story.
Q: You don’t think Saw has managed to keep a story going with Part VI with a dead character?
Kevin: Oh, they’re doing a great job keeping the dead character, but I want to know where our lead character is, where our protagonist is and what her journey is.
Q: Is it safe to say that you won’t kill Sydney Prescott off in the first 10 minutes?
Kevin: The story has to start somewhere.
