Horror supremo Kevin Williamson has revealed his plans for 'Scream 4'.
The 'I Know What You Did Last Summer' writer plans to introduce enough new characters in the next film to last him through 'Scream 5' and 'Scream 6', which he also hopes to make.
Kevin said: "The fourth one is an ensemble. It'll take place right now, 10 years later, and it's going to take place in character Sidney Prescott's hometown of Woodsboro. The film will star husband and wife team David Arquette and Courteney Cox, who have starred in the first three films in the series.
"We'll have our three main characters, and we'll be introducing several more."
Kevin, 44, said he has also included plenty of spoof-heavy material in the script.
He explained: "I'll just have to be very aware of the fact that we're a '4' and that we're beating a dead dog.
"I'm going to make that very apparent in the dialogue. Come on - it's the age of the remake!"
The first 'Scream' film, written by Kevin and directed by Wes Craven, was released in 1996 and made stars of cast members Neve Campbell, Jamie Kennedy and Rose McGowan.
