Last weekend at Comic-Con, Kickin' It Old Skool star Jamie Kennedy stressed to anyone who'd listen that a new Scream sequel is in the works. At first we were inclined to dismiss it as wishful thinking on the part of Kennedy, who starred in the last episode of blockbuster horror franchise, Scream 3, way back in 2000. So later on we sought out a more credible source to 
check the veracity of Kennedy's Scream 4 claims: Wes Craven, director of the first three Scream flicks.
"I've heard that (Scream producer) Bob Weinstein is thinking about it, and I think he has asked around my agency whether I'd be interested," said Craven, who was at the Con to promote his new movie 25/8. "Right now I don't think anything's official but I have heard that he's thinking about it seriously for the first time."
Roughly translated from vague Hollywood industry jargon, Craven's comments most likely mean that he's in negotiations to direct Scream 4 but is prohibited from talking about it until the contract is signed.
