Scream 4!!!!! - Part 4

I want Kevin Williamson to say no to Scream 5. I also want everyone else to say no to Scream 5, including, most importantly, the powers that be at Dimension.
 
Good on Kevin. The Scream series is done, IMO.
 
Yeah, just let it end here. I'm fine with that. Don't risk it to **** it all up. It ended on such a great note.
 
I'm fine with that. I don't see how they can continue it. I thought the same about Scream 3, but unlike S3, S4 was an actually good movie. Why not quit while you're ahead?

I really don't see where it can go from here, except by repeating the basic plot of S4 again and then it just starts eating itself, like "Stab 5-7" at the beginning of the latest movie.
 
I swear to god, if its Ehren Kruger then **** THIS MOVIE!!
 
Disappointing to hear Williamson isn't returning. If they can't find a good successor, probably best to let it end while they're ahead. I definitely don't want Kruger back to write, since he always amps up the humor too much.

Marlene King, who writes Pretty Little Liars, seems to be a fan favorite to write Scream 5, but I've never seen the show so I have no idea what her writing is like.

Another writer is why Scream 3 wasn't as good as the first two.

There are a lot of decent and better screenwriters out there. Its not like they have to hire the same screenwriter that they did for scream 3.

I have and I can kind of see it. The show is about girls getting texts from an unknown person in order to scare them and they have been attacked before. I can see her writing work. Best way to get a good idea of her writing is to watch the halloween episode of Pretty Little Liars. It's a prequel to the series and a mini horror film. You won't be lost if you just see the episode. I'm just not too sure she'll be able to do the horror references like Williamson but she'd be better than whoever they got for Scream 3.
 
I'll try to watch the show and see what her writing is like. It seems to be a favorite among a lot of Scream fans I know of.
 
If they're going to do Scream 5, I think they should explore the time travel plot.
 
A tad unrelated but Neve Campbell apparently has been confirmed recently to be pregnant. I wonder if this might put Scream 5 on-hold indefinitely, since after childbirth she'll need time off to recover and also obviously to spend time with her child. Might be at least two or three more years before Scream 5 happens.
 
Scream 4 was on The Movie Channel last week, so I've finally been able to see it.

Didn't like it. Thought it was stupid.. Seriously, after being stalked 3 times Sidney doesn't take precautions? She would have a S&W 500 with armor piercing bullets in her purse after all that. Someone dressed as Ghostface comes at her and gets his head blown off. The plot was week, weak, WEAK!

As for Sream 5? No thank you. Scream 4 was bad enough.

She took precautions to the extreme in 3, in 4, she's accepted that no matter how much she takes precautions, she's not safe. She's a new, stronger character in 4. :up:

Actually, I see her as a weaker character in 4. She's reverted back to being the helpless little victim in parts 1 & 2. In part 3 she was paranoid, and rightly so. In part 4 she may have made the decision to no longer be a victim, but once it became obvious that there was yet another killer on the loose she shoulda grabbed a gun and blown Ghostface's head off. Instead she just let's her cousin kill off half of her classmates.
 
When would she have done that? She did all she was able to do without going vigilante and she kicked ass. 4 had minor flaws, but Sydney's character was not one of them in the slightest.
 
One thing I never saw Sidney as in any of these movies is a helpless little victim. She was always able to hold her own when Ghostface came after her.
 
Yeah, I never saw Sidney as a damsel-in-distress. She was always on her feet throughout the series.
 
She was always good at fighting back and that's what kept her alive.


In Scream 4 she runs right into a house where she's spotted the killer. It seemed irrational that she wouldn't pick up a knife along the way or reveal a handgun. She was either in a hurry and didn't think or figured she could fight them off.

She went from a nutjob to a strong person in 4 which is also 12 YEARS LATER. As I recall, didn't she go running into the house where GF was after killing Emma Roberts's "friend?" Didn't she kick Ghostface's ass there? Didn't she also trick GF in the house? The only reason she got stabbed was the shock of seeing her own cousin is the killer. And as I recall she never got scared, but took care of business.

Honestly, she grew a lot and it was much better than the third film. I would even say it was the best since the first movie.
