Wes Craven Says ‘Scream 5’ Is Happening?

Despite an underwhelming
box office take for ‘Scream 4,’ director Wes Craven says that ‘Scream
5′ is almost definitely on the way — though possibly without him
directing.

When Scream 4
hit theaters this past April, it wasn’t the box office smash that
director Wes Craven and producer Bob Weinstein had hoped for –
especially compared to its predecessors. While it made a little over
twice its $40 million budget worldwide, it made $2 million less than
that domestically. (Eek.)

Which is why it’s surprising, some five months later, to hear Wes Craven say that Scream 5 is almost definitely a go — though he might not be directing.
