Scream 5 Could Kill The Film Series, Not The TV Series — cinemablend.com

Sponsor MOVIE NEWS 11 years after Scream 3 premiered, Wes Craven returned to Woodsboro to torment Sidney Prescott and the gang one more time. In 2011, Scream 4 pulled audiences back into theaters to the tune of $97 million worldwide, and brought in untold wealth to Dimension Films and The Weinstein Company in the resurgence of fans buying the first three. So Scream 5 and even Scream 6 seemed inevitable. But it�s 2013, so what�s the deal? Well, Harvey Weinstein still wants Scream 5 to happen. As reported by Indiewire, he confessed as much at the Zurich Film Festival Masterclass, saying he�s pushing his brother Bob, who runs Dimension Films, to get it going: "Everyone lived in Scream 4. I'm begging him to do the movie and just end it. We've milked that cow." It�s true. Despite all odds, survivor Sidney, dopey Deputy Dewey, and danger junkie Gale Weathers all pulled through this latest brush with Ghostface. Yet it sounds like if Harvey has his way, this series will end with these heroes being put down for good. The fates of the Woodsboro trio are far from sealed as the last news on Scream 5 stated that screenwriter Kevin Williamson had a plan for a trilogy, but no actual script for the fifth installment had yet been penned. This was just a month after Scream 4 opened, when Craven offered that another Scream was a possibility, but he was taking a breather first.
