While talking to MTV about the upcoming release of 'My Soul To Take', and decision to convert the horror to 3D, director Wes Craven tested the waters about a potential new Scream Trilogy, revealing discussions between the studio. On My Soul To Take, Craven revealed that the film was originally commissioned to be shot in the 2D format with Rogue Pictures. However, in October 2008 it was announced that Relativity Media was to acquire Rogue Pictures in a deal worth a reputed $150million. With the acquisition finalised the new owners approached Craven about the possibility of releasing the film in 3D.
After initial objections to the studio, Craven reveals that he was asked to go and see first hand the View-D conversion process that was used for Louis Leterrier's Clash of The Titans, which they proposed be used for 'Soul'. Far removed from the murky and distorted example that he had heard about, Craven that the converted Titans is 'beautiful', before adding, "3d is here and its going to be here, it is no longer a gimmick".
In the same interview Craven reveals a possible future plan for the Scream franchise after the release of the fourth instalment on April 15, 2011.
"The studio wants to be very, very secretive about it," Craven admitted. "I think it's kind of known that Neve is returning to her hometown for a short visit, and all hell breaks loose. But there's also a whole cast of new characters -- there's some very, very interesting kids."
"It is or was a planned trilogy. I think the studio is realistic enough to say, let's see how it does," Craven said. But Kevin Williamson [the series creator and screenwriter] does have an idea for a planned trilogy out of it."
So, can we officially call this Scream 4: The New Breed. After the commercial disappointment of Scream 3, only strong sales will see this come to fruition. Will the last people out please turn out the lights.
