    It looks like a new scream film is on the way and is in early production

    The screen rights were bought by Lantern entertainment from Dimension films and now they are working with Spyglass entertainment to bring the franchise back, it's hard to imagine a new Scream film without Wes Craven being heavily involved in some way since he directed all four of the original films but here we are, a new studio wants to take a stab at at it since they purchased the rights.

    To be frank, while I love Wes Craven, the first Scream was the only good one he did in the whole series that didn't really need to be a franchise, the sequels kept getting worse and worse with every installment where it forgot what it was satirizing and got lost in some of the humor to the point of obscurity and absurdity, they tried to revamp it with the 4th one and the Scream TV series but by that time the novelty had worn out.

    I honestly don't know what they can do different with the Scream license, I'm open to it if it's a fun well-written and creatively violent who-done-it, but I won't hold my breath until I see something.

    Loved the first and still think it's one of the best mainstream horror films of the last thirty years; thought the second was about as good a sequel as you could hope for but not up to snuff with the original; thought part 3 was a lame cash grab (even though writer Kevin Williamson originally pitched the first Scream as part of a planned trilogy, the fact that he handed off the writing chores so he could go do another movies was a major indicator to me that it was going to suck); and I thought that part 4, while it had its sporadic moments, was overall tepid and flat.

    IMO, if the guy who created the series can't maintain it over the course of four films, there's no reason at all to think anyone else can do anything better with it. Not to mention that a lot of the series' success was thanks to Wes Craven, whose directorial style and signature was all over them. As far as I'm concerned it would be an insult to even attempt to make another Scream flick -- as MTV proved with their lame-brain series.

    Brass tacks: Big, fat no thank you.

    Satire on the horror genre has diversified. The cleverness of "Scream" is no longer cutting edge. It had its time, for sure, but now it's time to hang up the phone and take off the mask.

    First one was great, second was good. They should have stopped while the franchise was ahead. No need for anymore

    I'm always down for more Scream. They may not be masterpieces, but they are always fun at least. Personally, I think 4 was the best of the sequels so I'm interested to see what they can do with this. They'll never top the first, but it's still entertaining for me.

    This looks very lackluster to me. I just cannot get excited about it.

    I was never big on the Scream films, I just don't think they're as "fun" as other slasher series like Friday, Halloween, or Nightmare. I think one of the biggest problems with the series is that each film is basically just a remake of the first with no real change in the main 3 characters. Every one after the first has been "trust me I've been through this before."

    The only way I'd be excited for the movie is if they kill off Sidney, Dewey, and Courtney Cox in the opening scene and let the movie get some fresh life breathed into it for the first time in decades.

    I would like to have the traditional opening scene fuck everyone up by having the victim actually kill Ghostface. Then the teens start getting sliced and diced but you never see the killer for a bit and when you finally do it's a totally different mask and kind of truly reinventing the series.

    A different mask would definitely be nice, it doesn't even have to be that different, just something else, it's 5 films in, even Jason and Michael had different variations of the same mask

    Hell, the killer in There's Someone Inside Your House wore 5 masks in on movie! Which btw was better than the last 3 Scream movies IMO.

    Eh...I used to love 3 years ago right around the time it released. Then I got sour on it over the years.

    4 was just embarrassing to watch and boring to boot. 5 looks the same. It becomes comical all these people want to kill Sidney over the years. Combine that with 4 just being so boring, it killed my interest in any of the characters. I don't care if they all live or die at this point. Kinda like my viewpoint on Walking Dead, just stopped caring what happens. For as much as I've soured on 3 over the years, it was at least a conclusion piece.

    ...If it has like at least three good kills, and some nudity, or EVEN just some side-boob, I'll probably be happy with it.
