SCREAM!!!!!!!

Viewed as one of the more campy yet awesome horror franchises in the last 50 years, the Scream movies really made an impact on cinema, in one way or another.  I regret the fact that I did not see the original in theatres, but soon after it was released VHS we rented it.  Usually talkative and ignorantly noisy, the group of 7-8 of us sat in front of my friends big screen television and didn't move for the entire movie.  We were glued to the T.V and I kid you not over the next few months of that summer we watched it a million times.

Fast after we all got together to buy a dual movie pass.  It was at the Oakmont 8 in Bradenton, a year and a half after we all watched the first one.  Scream 2 was being double released in the big theatre with I Know What You Did Last Summer.  Needless to say we were first in line and last to leave the theatre.  You're damn right, I guessed the killer before the end, YET again.

The same crazy ensued when Scream 3 came out in 2000.  Wes Craven, who directed all 3 promised that the third installment would be the death of the trilogy.  We were devasted.....

FAST FOWARD 9 years... it's January of 2009 and I hear whisperings that the ORIGINAL director, AND producers have met with Courteney Cox and David Arquette.  Before I knew it Neve Campbell was on board for the new movie that would be made ten years after the 3rd! 
About 3 weeks ago filming wrapped up for Scream 4.   I know the following:  Hayden Panietere (Heroes), Emma Roberts (Lil Julia), Rory Culkin, Adam Brody, Anthony Anderson, Lake Bell, Anna Paquin OF TRUE BLOOD!!, Shanae Grimes, are all on board to star in this kick ass return of my FAVORITE cult classic horror series!!  In addition to this, the writers and producers have promised to keep the same old fashioned comical horror spin, with a twist of modern technology and sleu of tricks up their sleeve!!

We are hoping for a teaser preview around November, with a real preview following shortly thereafter.  The release date is April 2011.  Along with this great news I can report to any of you that are interested that a Scream 5 and 6 were orignally pitched along with this movie, pending the box office is a smash (the first 3 movies brought in around 3/4 of a BBBillion dollars at the box office.)

What do you all think?  Are you excited for another EPIC Horror Trilogy?
