Neve Campbell, David Arquette and Courtney Cox Confirmed to Reprise Roles

SCREAM 4 officially has the green light. Dimension Films announced today that the fourth addition to the popular series is back and beginning production this spring. Kevin Williamson is writing, Wes Craven is directing, and Neve Campbell, David Arquette and Courtney Cox have all signed on to reprise their roles. They will join a new group of young actors who have yet to be announced. Scream 4 is set to be released on April 15, 2011.

“SCREAM has been such an integral part of Dimension’s history, and I look forward to continuing the franchise,” said Bob Weinstein, co-chairman The Weinstein Company. “I’ve worked with Kevin Williamson and Wes Craven on so many films at Dimension and hope to continue our successful collaboration.”

In a press release, Wes Craven added, "I am delighted to accept Bob Weinstein's offer to take the reins on a whole new chapter in SCREAM history. Working with Courteney, David and Neve was a blast ten years ago and I'm sure it will be again. And I can't wait to find the talent that will bring new blood to the screen as well. Kevin is right on his game with the new script - the characters and story crackle with energy and originality - to say nothing of some of the most hair-raising scares I've seen in a script since... well, since the original SCREAM series. Let me at it."
