"Scream 4" on the way

According to Variety, The Weinstein Company just signed a theatrical distribution deal with the pay TV network Showtime. While this at first may not seem of much interest, the deal includes upcoming films from Dimension, one of which happens to be a fourth entry in the "Scream" franchise.

Apparently, the fourth will be a reboot of sorts, starting things over. They had better not just remake the original with a new cast. That would just be insanely stupid and pointless. Also, what's with these reboots? It seems after the success of "Batman Begins," the thing to do now is start a franchise over if previous entries either stunk or it has been a while since they were relevant.

With a new "Scream" redux coming, I eagerly await a "Saw" reboot in about 2015...ugh.
