It’s time for another installment of “Reboot Rage!”
Writer Kevin Williamson recently revealed that the upcoming “Scream 4” will kick-off a brand new trilogy for the horror franchise. Williamson made the announcement while talking about his upcoming series, “The Vampire Diaries” on the CW.
“It’s 10 years later. It is Gale Weathers 10 years later,” he said. Weathers was played by Courtney Cox-Arquette. Cox-Arquette and husband David Arquette are signed to reprise their roles from the original trilogy in the next installment. Williamson played Deputy Dewey in the original movies and Williamson indicated Dewey will get a promotion to sheriff.
Williamson went on to say that the new trilogy will take its cue from the last decade or so of horror films.
“Can you imagine what the ‘Stab’ franchise must be like right now?” Williamson said, referring to the films within the “Scream” films that mimicked the events of the movies. “We’re going to have a lot of fun with it.”
He also said the famous mask would be back in the new series but there may be another one floating around as well.
No word yet on when production on the latest installment would begin. Williamson is currently working on “Vampire Diaries” and Cox-Arquette has a new sit-com coming to ABC this fall.
