Here's Wes Craven With the Most Depressing Scream 4 Quote Yet

"What's your favorite scary movie?" Ghostface, I'm glad you asked. Mine's the continuing saga of Scream 4's devolution into a mutiny. Woodsboro mayor Wes Craven just confirmed that the backstage goings-on were as scary (and disheartening) as we imagined. Click through for a painful quote about the new movie from the horror master.

Wes Craven has admitted that Scream 4 does not feel like 'his' film.

The director of the franchise told followers on Twitter that he is losing control over the project because of changes in the writing team.

Scream 3 writer Ehren Kruger has been drafted in to reboot Kevin Williamson's script.

Speaking to Total Film, the horror legend said: "There was a bumpy period when things shifted over from Kevin to Ehren.

"I signed up to do a script by Kevin and unfortunately that didn't go all the way through the shooting."

He added that it is "not entirely" his film but his job is "much more bringing whatever experience and expertise and creativity I can".

You heard him. Wes Craven is disowning Scream 4 and placing the reins in Ehren Kruger's Scream 3-penning, Parker Posey-disgracing hands. I'm more alone in the house than ever, Ghostface. Come get me.
