With all the past speculation about whether or not Wes Craven would be back in the director seat for Scream 4 we are happy to announce that our early sources (click here) were correct. Mr. Craven will be directing the next chapter in the Scream franchise...

During a recent The LA Times blog Craven added a little tid-bit at the end of the article. Scerm 4 begins shooting this May with Craven once again jumping back behind the camera. (His latest 'My Soul To Take' is due out later this year.) Kevin Williamson has scripted the Scream 4, the first in an intended new trilogy. Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox and David Arquette are all back and ready to face Ghostface once again.

Craven also joked about the way he'd like to go out in the article. "My goal is to die in my 90s on the set, say, 'That's a wrap,' after the last shot, fall over dead and have the grips go out and raise a beer to me."
