In a new very long, very interesting interview about his CW TV show The Vampire Diaries (which I really love, btw), Kevin Williamson talks a bit about his progress on the script for the much anticipated sequel film Scream 4. Back in November, we heard a little bit about plans for the film from Scream star Neve Campbell but in this new interview, Williamson explains just where in the creative process he is for the film:
Q: Are you working on any film projects right now?
Kevin: I’m almost done with the first draft of Scream 4. I’m trying to get that together for Wes Craven. We’ve got to get going on that, during the hiatus. We have Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox and Dave Arquette. I was always holding out hope because the pitch was about those three characters. I didn’t want to have to re-route the whole story. We don’t have to do that. I can do it exactly the way I want wanted. The story is going to be told the way I originally conceived it.Q: Is that going to be part of a new trilogy?
Kevin: I’ve been contracted to write Scream 4 and 5.Q: That’s not a trilogy.
Kevin: Well, I’m not going to negotiate 6 right away.Q: Horror films have undergone another shift, with the success of Paranormal Activity. Do you have a chance to update references to that in there?
Kevin: It’s all in there.Q: Would you shoot Scream 4 in the Atlanta area?
Kevin: I’d love to. When I went down there, I said, “This is so Woodsboro.” It would be perfect, but that’s Wes’ decision. Pasadena would work, too. If Wes directs, and he will if I have anything to say about it, I’ll camp out at his house.Q: What do you think it will take to get Wes Craven to come back and direct?
Kevin: Oh, Wes is going to do it.
Woot!! This all sounds really great. Okay, so we know that Wes Craven is directing Scream 4 and we will deffo be getting Scream 5 … but what about those rumors that part 4 will be presented in 3D? Read on, the interview continues after the jump …
