WIth a staggering 60 or so horror titles slated for remake, original horror films are a rare and dying breed.  Sam Raimi managed to mine another unique gem in Drag Me to Hell, but not many high profile widely released horror is anything but derivative and/or flat out cribbed.  Well, genre legend Wes Craven, who has his own original film (25/8) set for a roiled 2009 theater date, is now going back to the well by overseeing a whole new trilogy of Scream films.  Writer Kevin Williamson (who inked all three Scream films) is set to reprise his duties, and the word is both David Arquette and Courtney Cox Arquette are also onboard.  As Craven himself divulges: "I've been told the deals on David Arquette and Courtney are virtually set.  I believe everybody else will be new."  Wow, no Neve? Wait, is she still even acting?  Oh well, maybe they'll bring Parker Posey back from part 3.

I wonder why Wes Craven needs to make another Scream trilogy. He has done it already!!! He should leave well enough alone. I have to say that the endless stream of remakes being churned out these days is awful and most of them are crap! I think that there are no original ideas out there any more and it is no wonder that people prefer to watch the old favourites!!

I agree with Amanda. Another Scream trilogy doesn't sound all that appealing. How about launching some new horror franchises Craven?

Or perhaps a sequel to Shocker. That movie cracks me up.

Yeah, Peter Berg in Shocker is pure comedy. I wonder how many of the new trilogy Craven will direct. Maybe his new flick 25/8 is so awful he's already planning his safe return to the well. Let's hope not.
