MTV Wants Ya to Scream

So no big-screen 5cream then?

Damn.

MTV now has concrete, tangible plans to televise the Scream franchise, now that it has hired a director and a cast of fresh-faced up-and-comers to deliver its take on the horror-movie send-up.

I won’t say I won’t watch this – but I will say I was hoping Kevin Williamson would write a fifth and final movie for Wes Craven to direct and for Neve Cambell & Co. to star in. I just know that, after 2011’s Scream 4, Sidney, Dewey (David Arquette), and Gale (Courtney Cox) has another one in ’em.

And I will wonder: How on Earth are the writers on this one gonna sustain the suspense on this one. Weekly slashings and stabbings of teens are bound to get old fast....
