Solvency Through Fear

In a Variety article outlining their upcoming slate Dimension Films is clearly trying to boost its bottom line--helping out parent The Weinstein Company's finances and future--which has been on shaky ground for awhile.

Chief Bob Weinstein: "I’m going back to doing what I do best...I’m heading back to my franchise films".

I'll say....

Scream 4 has nabbed Neve Campbell--who has been holding out on returning to the franchise...Courteney Cox and David Arquette will also be back. As is original screenwriter Kevin Williamson--While director Wes Craven is appattently negotiating to helm.

If Craven does return....I'm sold that it could work...

The film already has an April/May shooting date targeted.

In addition, the company wants to shoot Halloween III in 3D, aiming to release it in October 2010. (A Halloween movie released to coincide with the holiday? What a novel idea!)

We'll also be seeing yet another remake of Children of the Corn ."Spy Kids IV" with Robert Rodriguez in the driver's seat; "Hellraiser" and "Scanners" sequels in 3-D treatments, "Short Circuit" and "An American Werewolf in London" reboots are also planned
