The major stars of the original Scream trilogy have reunited, along with director Wes Craven, to film the fourth movie in the series. Real life husband and wife Courteney Cox and David Arquette were spotted on set yesterday along with Neve Campbell and cast newcomers Adam Brody, Marley Shelton and Anthony Anderson. Julia Roberts' niece, Emma, Hayden Panettiere and Rory Culkin are also set to appear in the film.

The first three Scream movies were smash hits, revitalising the slasher film genre in the mid 1990s and spawning a slew of imitators. The original was one of the highest grossing films of the year when it was released in 1996 and has taken in an impressive £114million worldwide. The movies were inspired by the Halloween film series and the Gainseville Ripper murders of 1990. In Scream 4, Cox revives her role of intrepid reporter Gale Weathers, Arquette plays her on screen love, cop Dewey Riley again and Campbell reprises the part of Sidney Prescott, the girl terrorised by a serial killer in a mask.

The latest instalment is set in real time, ten years after the last, and centers around Sidney Prescott, who has finally put herself back together following the horrors of her past, before she is visited once again by the Ghostface killer. The movie promises the same tongue-in-cheek approach as the past three and Wes Craven raved: 'Kevin [Williamson] is right on game with his new script - the characters and story crackle with energy and originality - to say nothing of some of the most hair-raising scares I've seen in a script since....well, since the original Scream series.' Filming started June 28th and release is scheduled for April 2011.

Excellent, been waiting for this for ages so I do hope it is good.

THis should probably be in Film and TV, no?

Reportedly Kevin Williamson has left as the writer after Ehren Kruger has come aboard to work on the script as it lenses. He wrote Scream 3. Which means that Scream 4 will be terrible.

I heard that too, hope it's not true. Saying that, I will still watch it even if Kruger is on board - love the Scream series.
