A Stab in the dark leads to a Scream in the light

Okay when I first heard about this project last year a lot of nostalgia hit me. Wes Craven has finally officially announced 'Scream 4.' With it comes all the original surviving characters.




My one hope is that Craven is able to bring the franchise out of its comedic direction. There was something so sinister about the first movie that was lacking in the two follow-ups. By the time of it's release (April 15, 2011) it will be 15 years since Scream and 11 years since Scream 3. This is a huge amount of time to pass between sequels but at least to me a fortunate time frame that the franchise should hopefully benefit from.

Writer of the first two Kevin Williamson is back behind the scriptwriting, which is either a curse or a blessing, but I guess since it is his baby it seems only right for him to continue what he started.

But the biggest question still remains.... Will Deputy 'Dewey' Riley still have a limp?

For your consideration... SCREAM 4.
