MTV Developing Scream-based TV Series?!

Wait, what?! According to the scream-trilogy site, MTV is developing a new Scream TV series? I'm sorry, but I do NOT approve of this unless it has continuity of the first four films, including having the main three characters returning for atleast some episodes.

An official statement about the project reads

The “Scream” franchise returned with a vengeance in 2011 when “Scream 4″ hit theaters over a decade after the third installment was released. Though it didn’t have the box office success of the original film, “Scream 4″ proved that there was still an audience interested in the fictional small town of Woodsboro.
As TVLine was first to report, MTV is now developing a television series based on the films. The network has seen some success with its scripted drama “Teen Wolf,” and a “Scream” series could serve as a natural companion to the teen-driven scare fare.
The project will be produced by former MTV executives Tony DiSanto and Liz Gateley, and they’re currently looking for a writer to helm the pilot.
This weekend, Kevin Williamson — the series creator — shared that he was uncertain about the future of the “Scream” franchise, which is owned by The Weinstein Co. Williamson is busy with his new FOX series “The Following” and his continued work on The CW’s “Vampire Diaries,” and has not been involved in the project’s development.
It’s unknown whether Wes Craven, who directed all four installments, will have input in the MTV series.

As much as I'd love to see a continuation of the Scream series, I'd rather see a Scream 5 as opposed to a trashy, boring, MTV sitcom that lame, pre-teen fans will fall in love with without ever seeing the original trilogy, or knowing that they existed.

End of story.

Scream: A Screenplay - Review!

So, one day while, while browsing Amazon on my iPod in Biology, I came across Scream: A Screenplay by Kevin Williamson. Silently fan-girling to myself, I put it in my wish list! Last week, my mom ordered it for me, finally! It came in a few days ago, and I read it in two sittings.

The script was slightly different than the movie, but nothing major. Just some alternate lines, and stuff. It's pretty cool. The script was written very well. I honestly did not want to put the book down during the first sitting! The first few pages, the big opening with Casey, was the most intense thing I've ever read. Especially, in a script. The characters are described very well. The scenery is very descriptive. The kills were A+

Honestly, I think y'all should buy it. It's such a great, intense read. If you liked the movie, you'll definitely love the script. Buy it here!

if anyone is interested in buying a copy from me, let me know. I have an extra copy (ordered two on accident!) on hand, and will sell it for under five bucks! Email me here and make an offer, if interested.
