Ghostface is taking his reign of terror to the small screen.
MTV is developing a weekly series based on the Scream film franchise, sources confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter.
Former MTV execs Tony DiSanto and Liz Gateley, who are shepherding the project under their DiGa production shingle, are on the hunt for a writer to pen the pilot.
It’s unclear what role, if any, Scream auteurs Kevin Williamson and Wes Craven will have in the potential series. Williamson reportedly had a bad experience on Scream 4, with Scream 3 writer Ehren Kruger doing the final drafts of the film. Williamson is also busy with The Vampire Diaries and his new FOX serial killer show The Following.
The four Scream flicks have brought in $500 million globally, although the most recent pic — last year’s Scream 4 — grossed a paltry $40 million domestically.
Reality-obsessed MTV has found success on the scripted side with hits Teen Wolf and Awkward.
I can't imagine this being good but I'm interested in seeing how they go about it.

I'll give it a miss if none of the original trio are in it.

Yeah, I'm just going to pretend this doesn't exist.

Ghost Face will returnWhen we think Halloween, we think on the Icon of Halloween – Ghost Face®. This leads us to our beloved friend from Fun World, R.J. Torbert, with who we’ve talked earlier this week about new Ghost Face Project. Last year, it took us lots of work to decipher all the riddles that he leaves for us on twitter. “My cryptic messages do have a meaning”, he said when we asked him about the mentions of Ghostface followed by “HE LIVES or WILL RETURN”. “I can tell you, I have been working on a special project. Most of the fans think it has something to do with SCREAM 5, but I can not verify that, or speak to that”, he replied, making us chill, when we simply started to mention a possible sequel to the franchise. Could it be happening? “I'm not sure when my official announcement (on the project) will be ready, before, during or after December. And I will not be making the announcement, I have decided to let @buster815 make the announcement as a gift, for his birthday on Twitter. I think he is turning 21 in December”, said Torbert. So, stay tuned!
My fingers are crossed for Scream 5, but I have a horrible feeling that it's going to be the series getting a second chance I'd settle for a video game adaptation.

I guess Scream Queens breathed new life into this. These white people have been cast, and unlike the films it's going to feature a male lead. If the male lead isn't gay they can keep ha.

So is anyone going to watch this tonight? I'll tune in for Bella Thorne's opening kill scene and then promptly go about my business.

I read a day or two ago that Ti West will be directing an episode. He's one of my favourite horror directors so I might try watch that episode.
I just can't imagine this show being good though. When I heard it was on MTV I lost all interest.

I'm surprised Scream Queens got to keep its name with this show being a thing. Usually TV shows and movies are fussy about not having a similar name to something else coming out around the same time.

Well I mean Scream Queens is going to STOMP this show in literally every aspect so I'm mostly surprised MTV decided not to scrap it.

This has the advantage of coming first though. Maybe I just don't think highly enough of the average casual TV viewer because I can imagine this show hurting Scream Queens if it sucks. Like there will be people who hear the word Scream when the SQ ads start and assume it's something to do with this show and not give it a chance.

Scream Queens is on a bigger network with a bigger team known for American Horror Story and Glee, both of which were smashes, and a much more popular cast, and the ads for it have already begun. I didn't even realize Scream was premiering tonight until I checked tumblr and saw an ad at the top of the page.
