‘Scream 4′ in the works

Wes Craven speaks with BloodyDisgusting.com about plans for Scream 4. Kevin Williamson, the mastermind who penned the first two films, is writing the script (thank you, God). It has been 13 years since the first film revitalized the horror genre and paved the way for more progressively disturbing films like Saw and Hostel. Though Scream remains the top grossing slasher flick of all time, it’ll be interesting to see if the fourth installment will be able to compete with the recent “serious” gore fests like Friday the 13th and the upcoming The Last House on the Left (a remake of Craven’s 1972 gruesome revenge flick).

‘Revenge of the Fallen’ Trailer

The new trailer for Michael Bay’s Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is now online. As much as I despise Bay’s grindingly unsubtle directing style, I must admit, this one looks pretty darn good. Of course, it also helps that he has a team of talented screenwriters: frequent J.J. Abrams collaborators Alex Kurtzman and Robert Orci, and The Ring scribe Ehren Kruger.
