Scream 4 to Scare Moviegoers in 2011

Reuters reports that the Scream franchise is making a return. Fortunately, this is not another reboot but a new film in the series. Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox and her husband David Arquette will be reprising their roles in Scream 4. Kevin Williamson will write the screenplay and Wes Craven will direct.

Production will begin this spring, which should come as good news for Dimension's financially-strapped parent Weinstein Co., which scored a hit last year with "Inglourious Basterds," but struggled badly at box offices with the musical "Nine."

The "Scream" movies, which revolve around a young woman named Sidney Prescott (Campbell) who is stalked by a serial killer, were major moneymakers for Dimension in the 1990s, but the last film was released 10 years ago in 2000.

April 15, 2011 is the tentative release date for Scream 4.
