SCREAMtv's new approach

Can Ghostface and a supernatural theme really work together?


It's no surprise that a channel such as MTV would add a supernatural twist in their latest and controversial series SCREAMtv which is based off the Scream franchise. With hits such as Teen Wolf, MTV has admitted to adding a supernatural element in this new series. 


Weinstein told the Zurich Film Festival audience that there’s no overlap between the series and film franchise, adding that the series “is supposed to represent a new beginning and also pursue a supernatural direction.”


With information like this...twitter rants have yet again began to suggest why this series is a bad idea. "#Supernatural #Themes and #ghostface just don't work together. What the heck is #MTV thinking?! ~@DylanCohen3" is just one of the tweets against this. 

This all adds the question....Can Ghostface and a supernatural theme really work together? Looks like we will find out next year. 



On a brighter side of things...it turns out Scream 5 may have a chance to reach the cinema. If he gets his way....the Scream franchise will end with a fifth installment. 

Weinstein, from The Weinstein Company,  spoke  at the  Zurich Film Festival, in Switzerland, and said a few things about the production of the fifth installment. 
"Everyone lived in Scream 4, I'm begging him (Bob Weinstein) to do the movie and just end it. We've milked that cow." 
That means he is urging his brother, Bob - who heads Dimension Films -, to put the franchise back on track for a big finale. 



I will keep you posted on all updates to do with both these matters.
