Well the irony is that now that the film is out, all the rumors turned out to be true. Sydney’s aunt was cut so much you felt nothing when she died, like she was just another BMI in a list of underdeveloped characters Scream 4 had. I feel bad cause Kevin tried to make a good script and the executive producers reduced the quality of the film. I should have lost faith when I heard Kruger was back.

Wow. I’m offline for one whole day and come back to this mess I’m seeing all over the internet. I love the Scream series, so much so that my entire friends and family cannot stand to watch a single one of them with me (I have this problem where I like to quote lines along with the characters). I can’t even begin to tell you how excited I was when I first learned about Scream 4 all those months ago. However, now I’m hearing they have Ehren K back to do rewrites and that just makes me sick to my stomach. I know it’s a RUMOR but I seriously don’t understand why they would ask him back in the first place since there were quite a few things that just didn’t work in 3. Kevin has always been and always will be the better writer of the two. I’d rather see Scream 4 put on hold for awhile (until Kev can come back and do this screenplay the way it should be) then rush headfirst into a script and a film that just won’t deliver. The first two are so strong and while there’s a lot of things I liked about three, it just wasn’t up there with the other two.

Come on Dimension… Give Kevin a chance here. If it’s false then release a press release for crying out loud. The fans deserve to know either way… We’re the ones that have stuck beside this series through the years (and it’s been a long ride). I just wanted this one to be great, you know. I wanted to walk out of the theaters on April 15 with the feeling of being satisfied. Either way I’ll still see it as will a lot of people.

Damn, didn’t to ramble on. Srry guys

i read on bloodydisgusting.com the Kevin WAS indeed of the project 100% as well. BUT i forgot about the series he has on the (shitty) CW network (hate them cence they canceled Melrose and REBA), and when i first herd the news of him being off the project i thought “Oh FUCK NO” and then i read more of the article wich stated scream 5 is a “no go as of right now”, and i though “Oh HELL FUCKIN NO”. BUT then again i remembered about the series is is doing at The CW. I cam to the possible conclusion that the reason Kevin is currently off the project is not because he was fired, or pissed and left, but because he worked on Scream 4 during the hiatus of “The Vampire Diaries” and now that the TV hiatus is coming to a close he has to fulfill his duties at The CW and this was the plan all along. Only work on Scream 4 during hiatus and go back to T.V.D. at the start of the new season, leaving scream 4 in the hands of another. so when bloody disgusting reports about Scream 5 being a “no go as of right now” it was probably them hearing he was done with scream 4 as of now, and jump to the conclusion he wouldn’t come back to do scream 5 and 6 when his show would allow him (probably forgetting he even had a show AND i herd he was contracted for 4,5, and 6). Just my take on the matter. and maybe you all knew this and im behind idk..?

There’s a good chance she only left as she didn’t know what he was getting into til it was too late? aren’t the scripts kept secret even to the actors? Imagine signing on for a film and not knowing the fate of your character.

Four lines? Well, assuming she wasn’t killed…did she not hear that they want to do a 5 and 6?

I remember a character called Cotton Weary who had NO lines in the first movie and now is a bankable character actor.

Kevin isn’t writing the draft, that’s the problem. Ehren Kruger is writing it. Kevin is off the project 100%.

But nice try pretending to be in the know
