Wes Craven verwacht dat Scream 5 er wel komt

Ondanks de tegenvallende opbrengst aan de bioscoopkassa.

Eerder dit jaar draaide Scream 4 in de bioscoop. Vanaf de start van de productie werd aangegeven dat er een nieuwe Scream trilogie gemaakt zou gaan worden. Tot op heden was het echter erg stil rond het vijfde deel, maar onlangs sprak Wes Craven met de website Movieweb over Scream 5: "Yes. The odds are that there will be [another Scream]. It is something that Bob Weinstein wants to do. He tends to do what he wants to do." Craven weet nog niet of hij zelf van de partij is: "Whether I will be a part of it or not? I don't know. My contract gives me the first look. If they show me something that is really wonderful? Of course I will be a part of it."

Over de insteek van het vijfde deel is Craven behoorlijk vaag: "I'd have to kill you if I told you. Its better to have an ending where you can't tell where it's going to go next. Than to have an ending where you go, "Oh, that is the hook for the sequel. That is the hook for the next one." We felt it was better to let the audience speculate than to have all of these clues placed in their lap. It's not a matter of not being smart enough [to figure out how 4 ties into 5]. We're clever at this. Let's just put it that way."

Overigens is Craven niet de bedenker van de Scream films. Hierover zegt hij: "Most people think that I sit around and think up ideas. Then I send them to the studio. 'With Scream,' that is not the case. Kevin Williamson has been the writer since day one. Going into ['Scream 4'], the first meeting I had with Kevin Williamson, he did sketch out a 'Scream' 5 and 6. The idea was that we were doing the first in a new trilogy. We had to wait to see if we made enough money on each film to make the next one viable. If that happens, [Williamson and prducer Bob Weinstein] will come up with the concepts and an idea that is worth fulfilling."

Binnenkort verschijnt Scream 4 op Dvd en Blu-Ray. Vermoedelijk wacht de filmmaatschappij eerst of de release een succes is. De vierde Scream presteerde veruit de slechtst van alle delen. Met een productiebudget van zo'n $40 miljoen werd er wereldwijd "slechts" zo'n $97 miljoen opgehaald aan de bioscoopkassa. Hieronder nog even de trailer:
