Dimension Films has given the green light to Scream 4, which will start shooting this spring for a release on April 15, 2011. The third installment of the franchise was released on February 4, 2000.

Wes Craven will direct and Neve Campbell, David Arquette and Courteney Cox Arquette will reprise their roles along with a group of younger actors.

"Scream has been such an integral part of Dimension's history, and I look forward to continuing the franchise," says Dimension Films chief Bob Weinstein, who is also co-chairman of The Weinstein Company.

Craven adds: "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."

Everybody has their favorite film franchise...and for better or worse, Scream is pretty much in my top 3 franchises...I've been following the Scream 4 news for a while, and I believe that it will be a great movie, provided the script is smart enough.

Don't get me wrong,i love the first couple of 'Scream' movies. They we're great fun at the time. Part three was getting week for me and it just wasn't working as well as the other two.

Glad to see Williamson back writing the screenplay ? his input was missed in 'Scream 3'. IMO

I would just love someone like Wes Craven to invest his time and expertise into creating something new. The guy can do it when he puts his mind to it as we all know.

Lets all hope that this isn't going to be another 'Cursed' Craven/Williamson's last venture together,cos that was a bag of shite.

I'm pretty sure the date is a typo. It should be April 15th, a day most Americans will be screaming anyway.
