We all Scream for bloody murder
While doing press for his hit CW show The Vampire Diaries gay horror maven Kevin Williamson took some time to talk about the probability of Scream 4, which seems to be becoming more and more likely. Williamson appears to be working on a script now and is taking inspiration from the Saw movies but not in the way you may think. I'll let Kevin tell you himself:
"What I have always liked about this movie versus the other horror films is that I feel like there are characters," says Williamson. "In other horror movies, you remember Michael Myers and you remember Jason. In our film, I think you remember Sydney Prescott because Sydney Prescott's the victim and she has lasted for all three of these movies. The fun of the film is that it's Sydney Prescott. That's the difference and you care about her. I want to write a story where you actually care about our characters and it's a plot that you watch them walk through. It's not all about the next kill. It's not all about slice and dice. I was watching Saw VI on Pay Per View the other night and I was like, 'This is really just going from one kill to the next, to the next.' It's fun, but I want to tell a story."
And when asked if he might consider killing off this Sydney character, for whom we care so deeply, in the first ten minutes of the film, Williamson answered coyly, "The story has to start somewhere."
