Brooke Christopher returns to Monday Night Conversation to catch up with Anthony Anderson who after making appearances in Scary Movie, which spoofed the Scream franchise, now makes an appearance in Scream 4. You know what they say about black people in horror movies...
In SCREAM 4, Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell), now the author of a self-help book, returns home to Woodsboro on the last stop of her book tour. There she reconnects with Sheriff Dewey (David Arquette) and Gale Weathers (Courteney Cox), who are now married, as well as her cousin Jill (played by Emma Roberts) and her Aunt Kate (Mary McDonnell). Unfortunately Sidney's appearance also brings about the return of Ghostface, putting Sidney, Gale, and Dewey, along with Jill, her friends, and the whole town of Woodsboro in danger.
The newest installment in the acclaimed franchise that ushered in a new wave of horror in the 1990s is written by series creator Kevin Williamson and directed by suspense master and director of the first trilogy, Wes Craven. The film stars Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, David Arquette, Emma Roberts, Hayden Panettiere, Rory Culkin, Anthony Anderson, Adam Brody, Mary McDonnell, Marley Shelton, Nico Tortorella, Marielle Jaffe, Kristen Bell, Anna Paquin, Lucy Hale, Shenae Grimes, Aimee Teegarden and Brittany Robertson.
Fifteen years after SCREAM began with a terrifying phone call that changed horror forever, director Wes Craven, writer Kevin Williamson and stars Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox and David Arquette are back for a bold new entry in the beloved series. SCREAM's legacy is undeniable: The films smartly skewered its genre, launched the careers of many young actors, and redefined horror for a new generation of moviegoers. In an era of reboots and remakes, SCREAM 4 honors its fans with a sequel as sharp and irreverent as the original.
SCREAM has always been about ingenuity. Wes Craven found Kevin Williamson's take to be inventive and different and yet totally SCREAM. "You have to come back with something worthy of coming back," Craven comments, noting the high standards set by SCREAM 4's predecessors. "You're addressing a generation of young fans, but also the generation that has gone with you for three, as well as a decade worth of other films. You have to be as good as or better than all those films."
