The rumor mill on Scream 5

According to an article last year on screamrant.com, there is a high probability that Scream fans, such as myself, will get our wish after all….a fifth installment to the series, or Scream5 if you will.

Despite the lackluster Scream4, which didn’t break any box office records, nor make nearly as much as the original trilogy, Craven says he is willing to jump on a fifth wagon if Kevin Williamson and Bob Weinstein can develop a great story.

Craven also admits that Williamson had already pitched him a 5 and 6 storyline while still in the works with 4, but they were simply ideas at the time.

“Going into [Scream 4], the first meeting I had with Kevin Williamson, he did sketch out a Scream 5 and 6,” Craven said. “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.”

Sadly the fourth installment did not make the money they had hoped for, however Craven says he’s still willing to go into the project if Williamson can come up with something good.

Earlier this year, another website, bloodydisgusting.com, reported that Williamson was officially out. The site attributed his decision to the rumors that he and the Weinstein bumped heads throughout Scream 4.

You can believe that I will keep you updated on anything involving any future Scream movies. I’m a huge fan of this franchise. They totally had me at Drew Barrymore’s “Hello?”
