/0 Comments/in , /by

Things went quiet for a while there on the status of MTV’s third-season reboot of their Scream television series. It turns out there was a lot going on behind the scenes, and we now know a whole lot more about the project as it nears closer to completion.

The Hollywood Reporter broke the news that the franchise has moved from MTV to VH1 (both channels are owned by Viacom) and the next entry in the television series will now be called Scream: Resurrection. Instead of running thirty-minute episodes weekly, the entire season will run in three two-hour intervals from July 8th to July 10th. Such a rapid pace will surely maintain the momentum of the franchise’s signature “whodunnit” formula. read more

Kevin Williamson’s ‘Tell Me a Story’ Trailer Released

/0 Comments/in , /by

The new trailer for Kevin Williamson’s upcoming CBS All Access series, Tell Me a Story, was just released and it is definitely reminiscent of the stories that made him famous in the 1990’s.  In Williamson’s own words (from the TCA Conference) “This reminds me a lot of my early days. It took me back to another place.”

The writer/director best known for Scream, I Know What You Did Last Summer, The Faculty, and Dawson’s Creek, appears to be venturing back into the slasher-thriller territory with his new series, which is supposedly based on classic fairy tales (and also based on an Argentinian anthology  series).  The focus on young, attractive twenty-somethings and mystery is readily apparent in the trailer (as well as a lot of sex and drug use, which I guess I missed the last time I read Little Red Riding Hood, Hansel and Gretel and The Three Little Pigs). read more

Tyler Posey of ‘Teen Wolf’ to Join Cast of MTV’s ‘Scream’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Teen Wolf may have just finished up its run on MTV, but that doesn’t mean Tyler Posey is off the network! TV Line reports that he has signed on to star in MTV’s upcoming Season Three reboot of its Scream television series. The announcement comes less than 24 hours after the season finale of Teen Wolf aired.

On Teen Wolf, Posey played Scott McCall, a hunky werewolf boy with looks to match his bite. Although casting announcements for Scream have tended to come with short bios and character names for each new performer, info on Posey’s character is noticeably absent from the announcement. This either means his role will be more mysterious than the other recent announcements, or that his addition to the cast is so fresh that the network hasn’t had time to put together an official character bio, but they wanted to get the word out to take advantage of the hype surrounding the conclusion of Teen Wolf. read more

Keke Palmer of ‘Scream Queens’ Fame Joins the Cast of MTV’s ‘Scream’

Scream Queens may have been cancelled, but that doesn’t mean Keke Palmer is done screamin’! Variety reports that the up and coming actress, known for her role as Zayday Williams in Scream Queens, will be returning to horror television with a role in MTV’s rebooted third season of Scream.

Here’s what we know about her character so far:

“Palmer will play Kym, a bold and beautiful social activist with a big heart and zero patience for suffering fools.”

Palmer’s character Zayday shared many of these same qualities to the delight of the Scream Queens‘ fans; so it makes sense that Palmer will be taking on this kind of role in Scream. We’ve previously reported that the third season of the show will have an all-new cast, storyline, and creative direction under the guidance of producer, Queen Latifah, and new showrunner, Brett Matthews. In addition to Keke Palmer, the show will also star  Jessica Sula, Giullian Yao Gioiello, Tyga and C.J. Wallace. read more

Scream Season 3 May Feature New Cast and Rebooted Story

/0 Comments/in , /by

MTV’s Scream television series hasn’t particularly lived up to fan or studio expectations. Season One of the show averaged about 750,000 viewers, and Season Two took a dramatic dip to an average of approximately 380,000 viewers. Originally slated for 14 episodes, Season Two was cut back to 12 and a self-contained Halloween special which aired two months after the season ended. Some thought at the time that this could be the end of the Brandon James storyline that the show continuously promised to wrap up, but loose ends were not tied up and a shortened Season Three was eventually announced. Now, Deadline is reporting that all bets may be off for this upcoming abbreviated season: we may see a new cast and a new story! read more

As we celebrate the 20-year anniversary of the revolutionary horror-film franchise, “Scream,” we remember that, sadly, the iconic Wes Craven is no longer with us to usher in our new favorite movies. Entertainment Tonight recently interviewed Neve Campbell and Kevin Williamson to reflect on the franchise’s success. Naturally, the potential for another sequel was discussed.

In the interview, Williamson said “Wes and I, when we were starting Scream 4, we had plans for Scream 5 and 6….. Now without Wes, I feel like you have to sort of answer the questions of how and why, and I don’t know how to do it without Wes and I don’t know why to do it.” read more
