Screenwriter Kevin Williamson is a busy man. He’s writing the script to Scream 4, producing episodes of The Vampire Diaries, Tweeting, and now writing/directing a remake of 1987’s The Bedroom Window.
Williamson is one of the reasons I’m excited about a fourth installment in the Scream series. Yes, I definitely hope that Wes Craven signs to direct it, but the return of original writer gives hope that this will be a solid slasher. The Scream series has always done pretty well at parodying horror cliches, so it'll be rad if this one pokes fun at some more modern horror cliches.
Williamson told the NY Post, “I’ve [included] manga comics, Asian ghost girl movies, there’s some PG-13 horror movies in there, vampire movies, M. Night Shyamalan movies and torture porn movies, even though they’ve come and gone.”
Mangas and horror? Awesome. The overload of vampires in pop culture and M. Night Shyamalan’s declining popularity are worthy of being mocked. Torture porn really deserves to be put on the chopping board, if only because the Saw producers are beating it into a dead pulp. It’ll be challenging to avoid duplicating what the Scary Movie spoofs have done though. You have my support, Williamson!
