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.
Horror site Bloody Disgusting claims to have some details on a fourth Scream film.
They report that the film – which is in the early stages of development – now has a writer on board, with Scream and Scream 2 scribe Kevin Williamson writing a draft of the script.
Secondly they say that there is a “very good possibility” that Wes Craven will return to direct.
It seems Dimension want to make this a “younger Scream” this time – presumably meaning the same story with a new group of High School kids. Though apparently original cast members David Arquette, Courtney Cox Arquette and Neve Campbell have been approached for cameos, meaning it won’t be a reboot or remake.
Bear in mind none of this has been confirmed by the studio as yet.
Neve Campbell is returning to series television with a co-starring role on NBC’s midseason drama “The Philanthropist.”
The “Philanthropist” centers on Teddy Rist (James Purefoy), a renegade billionaire who uses his wealth, connections and power to help people in need around the world.
“Party of Five” alumna Campbell will play the wife of his business partner and lifelong friend, Phillip (Jesse Martin), who runs the two billionaires’ charitable foundation and has strong chemistry with Teddy.

I am SO excited! Neve will be visiting Brazil (which is where I live) next month.
She will be at Amazonas Film Festival, as guest and member of the Fiction juri. Neve will be in Manaus from November 07 to 13.
Thanks to Natália Mêne, from Amazonas’ Secretary of Culture, for the quickly confirmation.
I won’t be going to the festival, unfortunally, but I’ll let you all informed about all Neve steps in my country.
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.

Neve Campbell is the wild card in a new real-time British gangster film about four drug dealing punks trying to figure out which one of them has $4 million in cash.
It took ten years, but after debuting at the 1998 Edinburgh Fringe Festival and being staged in London’s West End the following spring, the play Matchstalk Man is finally set to be turned into a movie. Unfolding in real time, the black comedy adaptation takes place mostly in a derelict, abandoned warehouse, where four small-time hoodlums on the run from police engage in a game of cat and mouse to figure out where the cash proceeds from an illicit cocaine sale has gone. The film will mark the directorial debut of theater veteran Alexander Holt and will feature Neve Campbell playing the part of Pansy, one of the four conniving principals. Also attached to the film alongside Campbell are Billy Boyd (The Lord of the Rings), Kelly Reilly (Mrs. Henderson Presents) and Jamie Foreman, son of 1960’s London gangster Freddie Forman. ‘Matchstalk Man is a film about atmosphere, claustrophobia and above all characters and plot racing to a final conclusion which should leave the audience gasping, heads reeling and wanting more,’ Holt writes on the film’s official website. ‘We will be paying homage to a variety of styles using different formats e.g. for fantasy flashbacks, imagine the style of Tim Burton meets Quentin Tarantino; for the present grittiness of the warehouse, imagine Michael Mann meets Danny Boyle.’ Further bolstering the Matchstalk Man cast are a pair of co-stars with notable roles in recent musical biopics: Toby Kebbell, who played Joy Division manager Rob Gretton in the fantastic 2007 British film Control; and Leo Gregory, who portrayed Rolling Stones co-founder Brian Jones in the 2005 drama Stoned. Holt tells the Hampstead and Highgate Express that he and his partners have raised $2 million to shoot their $4 million caper and hope to roll cameras this summer for a planned February 2009 release. Other projects in the works from production company Quicksilver Films include the futuristic sci-fi thriller The Last Olympian and the thriller No Reason. (FilmStew
