The sequel that no one asked for is returning. “Scream 4” is set to go in front of cameras in May with Wes Craven directing. Screenwriter Kevin Williamson, who twittered last year that he was trying to figure out how to make a Sid-less sequel with Neve Campbell saying she won’t return to the series, didn’t have to clear that hurdle after the actress relented and signed on along with Courteney Cox and David Arquette.
We’re not sure we really need another winking horror-movie-that-is-actually-a-parody-that-is-really-a-horror-movie and does the audience who saw “Scream 3” ten years ago even care anymore?
Williamson has gone on record saying that he doesn’t want the film be in 3D, but he probably doesn’t have final say in the matter, and given that even the lamest and most depleted horror franchises (“Saw,” “Final Destination”) have gone that route we’re pretty sure this film will go in that direction too.
We would be surprised if this enters the already crowded Halloween fray this year, but we could easily see this being slotted into the usually terrible January/February slots of 2011.

Neve Campbell has been signed on to this since September.
Are there any sequels, that anyone asked for…?
@Michael – Thanks.
Why not just remake Scream 1? Who needs a part 4? They're remaking every other horror franchise out there, fck, they even remade "Night Of The Demons" which was really scraping the bottom of the barrel. anyway, should be good for a little cash boost, nothing more. that's all this is.
