It seems the Weinstein’s and screenwriter Kevin Williamson were finally able to break Neve Campbell, as the actress, who originally stated she would not be returning for another Scream, has now signed on to star in the upcoming fourth installment of the popular horror franchise.
Scream 4 is said to be the first of a new trilogy, and Dimension Films is talking to Wes Craven to direct. In addition to Campbell, Courteney Cox and David Arquette are also set to reprise their roles.
Released in 1996, the first Scream told the story of the fictional town Woodsboro, CA being terrorized by a masked killer who enjoys tormenting his victims with phone calls and movie references. The killer’s main target is Sidney Prescott (Campbell), a teenage girl whose mother Maureen fell victim to a brutal murder one year earlier. The film takes on a who-done-it mystery, with many of her friends and townspeople being fellow targets and suspects.
Sequels followed in 1997 and 2000. The franchise is looked at as revitalizing the slasher film genre in the mid-1990s. The first two Scream films grossed more than $100 million each, while Scream 3 grossed $89 million in the U.S.
Scream 4 is slated to begin production in April of May of next year.
