Wes Craven wants to make it clear that he will have no part in Scream 4. In an email sent to me, Craven said..
"Regarding your comments about how I 'won't shut up about Scream 4'...
Consider this the final word.I have no intention or making Scream 4.
I have several projects that will keep me occupied for the next couple of years. While the Scream films have been a wonderful experience, I have other projects to pursue. I certainly appreciate the loyalty of the Scream fans and their enthusiasm for the films, but I think that we've done what we had set out to do.
I would also appreciate it if would squelch the rumor that I am accepting Scream 4 scripts. We have been inundated with amateur writers that are saying that they heard this was true from your site.
Best Regards, Wes"
