Burn Up
Director Wes Craven has addressed the mounting rumor circulating around whether or not he will direct “Scream 4“. Talking to Bloody-Disgusting, the creator of many horror films confessed on what it would be needed to bring him back to helm the fourth film for the popular ’90s horror movie franchise.
“It would take it being really as good a script as the first one was,” the 69-year-old explained, adding further, “and the pay day reflects what I’ve done for that company and what Ive gone through on Cursed (laughs).” When pressed further on the possible storylines, he insisted, “I don’t know his ideas at all. But they have made a deal with Kevin [Williamson] to write.”
“Scream 4? is intended to be a younger version of the “Scream” movies. In earlier reports, it was suggested that several of the original main characters, Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox and David Arquette, would make their returns as cameos. Kevin Williamson, the writer of the first two “Scream” films, has also been reported to be writing the draft.

Starring Bradley Whitford, Neve Campbell and Rupert Penry-Jones, Burn Up is a two-part provocative drama set in the real-life context of climate change.
Burn Up is a powerful story of love, commitment and divided loyalty – a thriller in which the stakes couldn’t be higher. This topical thriller sees oil company executives, environmental activists and politicians collide in the battle between economic success and ecological responsibility.
Campbell plays Holly, whose covert collaboration with environmentalists puts her in great jeopardy, and Whitford plays Tom’s best friend Mack, a charismatic yet unscrupulous oil industry lobbyist.
We follow the trio’s lives and loves as they hurtle towards a global climate change summit.
BBC Commissioning Editor for Drama, Lucy Richer, said, “Burn Up is a highly authored piece wholly of this unique moment in time. The exciting mix of US, Canadian and UK talent, the awesome backdrop of the Canadian wilds combined with Simon’s taut and provocative script makes for an epic proposition.”

Scream 4 could be in the pipeline. The Weinstein Company, the production firm formed by the high-profile producing pair the Weinstein Brothers, announced it would be developing a third sequel to the lucrative franchise that parodied the horror genre. It’s as yet unclear whether writer Kevin Williamson, director Wes Craven and star Neve Campbell will participate in the project. There have been attempts to resurrect the franchise in the past, but so far they have failed.
Burn Up is the (totally and completely fictional) story about a clash between Big Oil and Big Green. The Canadian/British miniseries features Party of Five star Neve Campbell as an environmentalist hired to work for an oil company (as a greenwash decoy, of course, though she doesn’t realize it until too late … mwahahaha).
Unfortunately for us Yanks, though, Burn Up will not be airing stateside. (At least not yet.) But if you’re one of our lucky readers in Canada or the U.K., catch it Tuesday and Wednesday on Global or BBC, respectively.
