Kevin Williamson Reveals SCREAM 4 Setting

In the “not as confusing as Ridley Scott’s timeline for the ALIEN PREQUEL” department (not much really is), screenwriter Kevin Williamson released more information about the upcoming SCREAM 4 via MTV and his Twitter page.  In fact, he gave up some information regarding the upcoming, new trilogy of SCREAM films.

Here is what he had to say:

The fourth one is an ensemble.  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, and we’ll be introducing several more.  We’ll also be introducing a little group, a little ensemble of new castmembers. That’ll take us through the next three.

Williamson is concurrently writing the screenplay for SCREAM 5 and, from what we can gauge by his comments above, SCREAM 6 isn’t too far off.  With this many SCREAM sequels on the horizon, some (okay, probably, most) people might think it a bit ridiculous.

Williamson comments on that, too:

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.

No release date has been set for the fourth SCREAM film.
