Wes Craven Talks Scream 4 + Old/New Teaser Poster Revealed

It’s been a long time coming, but Scream 4 is now on the way, not only with original cast Neve Campbell, Courtney Cox and David Arquette, but master of horror Wes Craven is returning to the director’s chair for the Ghostface killer sequel. Entertainment Weekly has just released the first official teaser poster for this, though it isn’t much different from a poster that showed up at American Film Market late last year, and sat down with Craven who couldn’t reveal too much about his return to the franchise, but he did delve a little deeper into where we’ll find our damsel in distress, Sidney Prescott, in the fourth go-round in this series.

I wish this poster was higher res than it is, but that’s the biggest size EW provided, so this is all we’ve got!

In Scream 4, the state of the horror genre within the film has been plagued with endless Stab sequels (the film series within the film based on the Woodsboro murders) which should provide some familiar tongue-in-cheek fun. Meanwhile, Craven says Sidney has “been off by herself and living her own life, and she’s even written a book that has gotten a lot of critical acclaim. She’s kind of put her life back together in the course of these 10 years. But, certainly, there would be no Scream without Ghostface, so she has to confront him again, but now as a woman who has really come out the darkness of her past.” We have yet to see anything else for this, but with an April 15th, 2011 release, I’m sure it won’t take long.
