Kevin Williamson talks ‘Scream 4′ and the possible killing-off of Sidney
‘Scream 4′ writer chats about ‘twists and turns’ in movie
Writer Kevin Williamson says “there are a lot of twists and turns” in the upcoming Scream 4. Twists that may potentially include the killing off of Neve Campbell’s Sidney Prescott.
In a recent interview with PopWrap, Williamson refused to confirm whether or not the main character will be dead, but he did not rule out the possibility.
“The thing about Scream 4 is that there are a lot of twists and turns, so I can’t promise anything,” Williamson said about the Sidney character. “There are a lot of moving pieces, so we’ll see — but if you’re a Scream fan, I think you’re really going to like it.”
Williamson also chatted about which elements would be included in the next Scream: “I’ve [included] manga comics, Asian ghost girl movies, there’s some PG-13 horror movies in there, vampire movies, M. Night Shyamalan movies and torture porn movies, even though they’ve come and gone,” he said.
He went on to say, “You have to be careful because Scary Movie spoofed these films, so one of the things I’m excited about with Scream 4 is that, while we do lampoon and send up the genre, [we] make it incredibly scary. That’s first and foremost.”
Scream 4 will reportedly be intended to be a younger version of the Scream trilogy.
The 2010 movie will be developed as the first of a new trilogy.
