Scream 5 possibly in the works? Talks of a Second Scream Trilogy.

If you were a fan of the original Scream Trilogy, we have some tidbits that might make you scream with joy a little bit longer. Judging by murmurs in the industry regarding the fourth installment of Wes Craven's horror franchise, it looks as though there might be a few additional movies in store for what is being dubbed as the second Trilogy in the Scream saga.

Shock Till You Drop has the exclusive scoop, citing that they have learned that Dimension Films is still keeping an open mind in finding a writer for a potential fifth installment, which will undoubtedly open the book for a sixth endeavor given the way this industry works with its beloved horror franchises.

Similarly, the writing fiasco over Scream 4 has a little bit of light shed on the situation in this month's edition of Total Film Magazine, which cites an interview with director Wes Craven over the flip-flopping with the writing process for Scream 4, as well as the director stating he could be up for more than just the fourth film in the series. Here is a blip from that interview with Craven:

"In some ways it's a Wes Craven film, and in way it's not entirely, because it's not a script I have control of. It's ultimately controlled by what the studio wants in the script. My job is much more bringing whatever experience and expertise and creativity I can. Look, there was a bumpy period when things shifted over from Kevin to Ehren. I signed up to do a script by Kevin and unfortunately that didn't go all the way through the shooting. But it certainly is Kevin's script and concept and ideas and themes."
