Friends is one of those rare TV series that really manage to spread across the globe and permeate the international market, translated into dozens of languages and played in dozens more countries across the globe.

News now comes that Courtney Cox and her husband (though the two are separated) David Arquette are in the process of developing a new sitcom tentatively called Ten Years, Deadline report.

The new show is to be,

“an ensemble comedy that explores the ups and downs of relationships among a group of friends spanning 10 years.”

Not too dissimilar to the basic premise of Friends itself, but you’d assume (maybe ‘hope’ is a better word) that Ten Years would have to be fairly different to maintain interest with the audience. Nobody does it quite like Friends did it.

It’s thought that two of the characters will be loosely based on Cox and Arquette’s own lives, being separated but still remaining close and raising their daughter together. The two are putting the project together at US network, ABC, through their production company, Coquette Productions. They’re expected to be selling it shortly, most likely to ABC, so more news as we get it.

To mark the release of Scream 4 on DVD & Blu-ray 22nd August, Entertainment Film have given us five copies of the movie to give away on Blu-ray.

Synopsis: In Scream 4, Sidney Prescott, now the author of a self-help book, returns home to Woodsboro on the last stop of her book tour. There she reconnects with Sheriff Dewey and Gale, who are now married, as well as her cousin Jill (played by Emma Roberts) and her Aunt Kate (Mary McDonnell). Unfortunately Sidney’s appearance also brings about the return of Ghostface, putting Sidney, Gale, and Dewey, along with Jill, her friends, and the whole town of Woodsboro in danger.

The newest installment in the acclaimed franchise that ushered in a new wave of horror in the 1990s is written by series creator Kevin Williamson and directed by suspense master and director of the first trilogy, Wes Craven.  The film stars Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox-Arquette, David Arquette, Emma Roberts, Hayden Panettiere, Rory Culkin, Anthony Anderson, Adam Brody, Mary McDonnell, Marley Shelton, Nico Tortorella, Marielle Jaffe, Kristen Bell, Anna Paquin, Lucy Hale, Shanae Grimes, Aimee Teegarden and Brittany Robertson.

‘The woman who will not die’, Sidney Prescott, re-surfaces again in a fourth outing, along with embattled characters, the amicable Sheriff Dewey Riley and fearsome reporter Gale Weathers in yet another Wes Craven directed installment of the Scream franchise.

Without giving the game away (because we’re embargoed to the hilt) and spoiling the ending, or revealing the kill scenes and who remains alive, suffice to say there is always someone left standing to tell the tale, or there’s absolutely no point to the whole thing.

The story still follows Sidney (Neve Campbell), now the author of a self-help book, who returns home to Woodsboro for her last book-signing date and to stay with family, only for the dreaded nightmare that made her a celebrity to start all over again. This sees her reconnecting with Dewey (David Arquette) and Weathers (Courteney Cox), who are now a married couple, to try and save the town in danger from Ghostface.

Although all the old faces are back – and some more polished than others, mainly Cox in full cougar appearance who renders ex-real-life hubby Arquette a little older and wearier than his years, this film offers some welcome new faces and fresh blood (no pun intended), including Emma Roberts and Hayden Panettiere. The latter gives the fifteen-year-old franchise a much-needed lease of life and cool factor. Fans of the franchise get the originals, including their heroine Sidney, merely playing a familiar part, and some newbies in the same generic package, following similar plot patterns and throwing out red herrings as in the previous films.

However, eleven years on from the last, Scream 4 is very much more tech savvy in today’s terms, as well as self aware in ‘what makes a successful slasher film’. There is also a lot more parody at play. But Craven still uses the reliable stalker telephone call to bring a very real sense of dread – and hearing it still manages to send a chill down the spine. What’s not necessarily scary anymore is seeing the ghoul leaping around like it’s on fire – spoilt by seeing too much Scream fancy dress at Halloween, or hearing the black-and-white killer’s comical gruff telephone manner. That said the premise of the bogeyman lurking in the obvious horror-film hideouts is fully explored in this and challenged, and it certainly delivers its fair share of jumpy moments.

With a film conscious of being the very best scary movie it can be, Scream writer Kevin Williamson has upped his game and taken on board things that did not make sense in Scream 3 – reverting back to the original films’ ideas even, to deliver a more realistic explanation. And it works in some clever self diagnosis and previous Craven cinematic greats within some snappily edited sequences.

Basically, Scream 4 is much the same bag of bloody gory tricks but with more geek gadgets and a far better and more inventive plot, so fans can breathe a sigh of relief and revel in one more outing to support Ghostface in his body count: Does Sidney finally meet her maker? We can’t say, but it’s touch and go at times…

I for one couldn’t be any more excited about the release of Scream 4 on Friday. With over eleven years to atone for the admitted misstep that was the third instalment, every new piece of footage released only serves to whet appetites everywhere.

The latest feature to provide insight into the production – this time with a Courteney Cox slant – is no exception, with the returning Gale Weathers voicing her adoration of director Wes Craven and noting her favourite moment from the franchise to date.

Starring Neve Campbell, David Arquette, Emma Roberts and Hayden Panettiere alongside Cox, and with only two days remaining until it hits theatres, does Scream 4 have the potential to be your new scary movie?

David Arquette (The Tripper) has signed on to direct 3D thriller Glutton.

Kenny Yakkel, who was responsible for Dead Air and 51, penned the script.

While plot details are thin on the ground, production on Glutton 3D is expected to commence in July.

Arquette will next been seen in the horror-slasher sequel Scream 4, which opens in the UK on April 15.

Sneak peeks, clips, stills and posters – the usual publicity juggernaut rumbles along for new comedy-horror franchise entry, Scream 4. You can see everything so far here.

Today’s addition is another international poster, declaring that for a new decade, there are new rules. Those rules presumably resulting in lots of blood and dead bodies. Again. Whether this means that “no-one is safe” this time around and some top-billed stars will get filleted, we can but dream.

Until 15th April comes, enjoy the poster below and let us know whether you can stomach another Scream film, or whether the idea leaves you stone cold.

Dimension Films have released another new batch of images which they’ve sent over  from the fourth movie in the Scream franchise with the clever title, Scream 4! Judging from the one of Emma Roberts and Neve Cambells, they’ve either just seen a ghost or someone running around in one of those silly Scream masks!

The newest installment in the acclaimed franchise that ushered in a new wave of horror in the 1990s is written by series creator Kevin Williamson and directed by suspense master and director of the first trilogy, Wes Craven. The film stars Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox-Arquette, David Arquette, Emma Roberts, Hayden Panettiere, Rory Culkin, Anthony Anderson, Adam Brody, Mary McDonnell, Marley Shelton, Nico Tortorella, Marielle Jaffe, Kristen Bell, Anna Paquin, Lucy Hale, Shanae Grimes, Aimee Teegarden and Brittany Robertson.

Unfortunately Sidney’s appearance also brings about the return of Ghostface, putting Sidney, Gale, and Dewey, along with Jill, her friends, and the whole town of Woodsboro in danger.

Scream 4 is released in the US & UK on April 15th.

Let’s be clear – this is not Vivian Kubrick’s The Making of “The Shining” so don’t expect a bad word to be said about the parody beyond parody that the Scream series had become by the third film and instead watch and learn why you should be looking forward to the new film from John Craven’s strange older brother.

The main reason Screamholics should be clicking below is that the people at MakingOf.com always do a fine job and Craven is at his most interesting when talking about his motives for making these films. Newcomers Emma Roberts and Hayden Panettiere talk about their roles and it’s easy to forget that they were probably still in nappies when the first Scream film came about.

Anyhoo – Scream 4 is coming. Nothing can stop it. Here’s a little peek at how and why they made it.

Emma Roberts (It’s Kind of a Funny Story) is attached to star in coming-of-age drama Adult World.

The film, to be directed by Scott Coffey (Ellie Parker), centers on a Stanford grad (Roberts) with dreams of becoming a poet who gets stuck working in a mom-and-pop bookstore.

According to sources, offers are out for a male counterpart as well as an older character but, as of yet, no one has been officially cast.

Roberts will next be seen in the slasher sequel Scream 4, alongside Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox and David Arquette.

The poster for the first Scream movie had its cast lined up like lambs to the slaughter, and so popular was this design that it was copied by many of the films influenced by Wes Craven’s slasher, so it’s nice to see this new Mexican poster goes back to basics and gives us the familiar design

Directed by Wes Craven, Scream 4 stars Courteney Cox, Neve Campbell, David Arquette, Emma Roberts, Hayden Panettiere, Nico Tortorella, Rory Culkin and Adam Brody.

Here’s the poster,

MovieWeb are prime suspects.

We’ve just been sent four new stills from Wes Craven’s forthcoming horror Scream 4, and it’s the usual stuff for Craven’s return to Woodsboro.

Ten years have passed, and Sidney Prescott (Campbell), who has put herself back together thanks in part to her writing, is visited by the Ghostface Killer.

The film is out on the 15th of April.

Included in the new issue of Empire magazine is a new minimalist poster for upcoming horror sequel Scream 4.

The poster, expertly designed by Olly Moss, depicts Ghostface’s signature weapon, a knife.

Even before the film was announced there were fan made posters for Scream 4 plastered upon the walls of the internet, mostly based around the spooky visage of Ghostface.

It’s certainly an iconic image and the marketing team behind Wes Craven’s latest entry in the horrorshow series clearly think so and have released a new poster and it’s pretty neat.

Though, as the tagline has it, it’s a new decade we’ve still yet to see how new this new film will be. Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox and David Arquette return to welcome new Scream alum Emma Roberts, Hayden Panettiere, Adam Brody, Anthony Anderson and Alison Brie.Who will last to the end credits is anyone’s guess. I still reckon Neve Campbell will be in the Drew Barrymore role this time round.

See all the other goodies, with trailers and posters galore, right here.

Coming Soon did indeed, and had it first.

Here’s the first image of Mad Men and Community star, Alison Brie from the latest in the Scream franchise, Scream 4. The image was tweeted by Director Wes Craven (with a tip of the cap to Bloody Digusting for seeing it).

Scream 4 is released in the US & UK on April 15th and we here at HeyUGuys are very much looking forward to seeing it!

New Scream 4 picture time, and it’s no surprise that newcomer to the series Emma Roberts shares a few dicey moments with Ghostface, who returns with Neve Campbell, Courtney Cox and David Arquette to torment and tear up the latest gaggle of teens in the fourth Scream movie.

EW have this latest picture and the following blurb,

Ten years after the last Scream movie, Neve Campbell’s Sidney goes back home only to encounter yet another brutal Ghostface killer and a doozy of a new twisty plot

My hope is that the twist will reveal that the  man behind the mask is Craven himself and this is some kind of New Nightmare for the twenty-first century. Any chance of that? Not really, but an effective horror film, no matter how Scooby Doo it is, will always find an audience, so hopefully there’s enough spark and wit in this one to fill the next two films in the proposed trilogy.

Here’s the pic,

EW had it, Fangoria pointed us towards it, now its yours.
