Despite the fact that Scream 3 exists, part of me is still quite excited to see what Wes Craven has done with Scream 4. OK, yes: There are signs of major trouble -- script issues, tons of casting, more script issues, Scream 3. But the first film in this initially unlikely horror franchise remains a must-watch whenever it appears on television; there's some nostalgia there, of course, but Scream is also just a really good movie. And so it isn't all that surprising to find the trailer for Scream 4 reminding everyone of that fact.
After leaking online over the weekend, the first trailer for Scream 4 has arrived in a higher quality form and it's...well, a lot like Scream, were made in 2010. There are hot high school kids getting killed off, everything is post-post-millennial (Ghostface films his kills now!) and there not one, but two nerds who know all the horror movie rules. Oh, sure, original stars Neve Campbell, David Arquette and Courteney Cox are along for the ride, too, but they don't really seem to matter as much. Besides, one of them is probably the killer.
Watch the trailer below, before it gets yanked down.
VERDICT: Hello, Sidney. (That means "Sold!")
