First, thanks to some sneaky people who were in the audience of the2010 Scream Awards, we have a bootleg leak of the teaser trailer. It will premiere on Spike 9 p.m. EST Tuesday but, if you can’t wait, here it is. Thanks toColliderfor the find. You can also probably bet to see this in the theater in the next week or two.
Yup. That looks like aScreammovie. But how does it all fit in? Well, the October 22/29 issue ofEntertainment Weeklyhas a feature on the scary sequel that gives a little more detail.
InScream 4, Sidney – now the author of a self-help book – returns home to Woodsboro on the last stop of her book tour. There she reconnects with sheriff Dewey and his wife, Gale, as well as her cousin Jill (Emma Roberts) and her aunt Kate (Mary McDonnell). Unfortunately, Sidney’s reappearance also instigates moreGhostfacekillings and puts Jill’s high school friends in danger.
So that’s how new stars likeAlison Brie, Erik Knudsen, Rory Culkin, Hayden Panettiereand others get involved. The magazine also has some new photos from the film, as scanned in byShock Till You Drop.
And finally, a report over atComicBookMoviehas a few more quotes about the film including one from David Arquette that says the film’s official subtitle is “Return to Woodsboro.” If it was though, wouldn’t the teaser trailer have said “Scre4m: Return to Woodsboro?” Do people really know that the film takes place in a town called Woodsboro? Time will tell.
So what are your thoughts on the latest film in the Scream franchise. Shameless money grab or worthy addition to a pop culture sensation?
