Scream 4 to shoot this spring

Dimension Films has confirmed that Scream 4 will go under the camera this spring, with Wes Craven back in the director’s chair.

The new film, which reunites Neve Campbell, David Arquette and Courteney Cox Arquette against a new slasher-movie-loving psycho, has been given a release date of 12 April, 2011.

Says Dimension chief Bob Weistein:

" Scream has been such an integral part of Dimension's history, and I look forward to continuing the franchise."

As well as reuniting the original triumvirate of Scream survivors, this new flick will introduce a cast of new, younger characters. Expect a few faces from Williamson’s CW show The Vampire Diaries to make an appearance, then.
