De Amerikaanse website Shocktillyoudrop.com had een interview met niemand minder dan Wes Craven. Deze regiseur die bekend staat om geniale maar ook rampzalige horror films stond te trappelen om Scream 4 de hemel in te prijzen. Deze zal overigens volgende week in de Nederlandse bioscopen gaan draaien.

Shock: ...right, which you even contributed to producing The Hills Have Eyes and Last House on the Left. Scream 4 heavily touches on remakes.

Craven: Yeah, there were my remakes and A Nightmare on Elm Street which I had nothing to do with. They were all fair game. [laughs] We made those remakes because we discovered we owned the property. The financial crash affected all of us and we all needed to get back on our feet again, so those remakes helped a lot. At a certain point, I realized I needed to stop doing that. I didn't want to be that guy that just remakes his own stuff at this point. I made My Soul to Take and when they said they wanted to do Scream 4, I said okay, let's go. Kevin ran the idea by me and I loved it. Neve and the gang was going to be a part of it and it just sounded like fun.
