Hayden Panettiere reveals the lesson Wes Craven taught her on Scream 4 : 'He was so spectacular' - Entertainment Weekly

Key PointsThe Scream composer says Wes Craven didn't want to do Scream 4. Marco Beltrami calls the installment "uninspired. "2011's Scream 4 is the lowest-grossing installment. There is one scary movie that the Scream composer definitely doesn't like. Marco Beltrami, who worked on the first four Screams and the recent seventh installment, has revealed that he doesn't believe that director Wes Craven wanted to return for 2011's "uninspired" Scream 4. "It was not a project I wanted to do," Beltrami told Deadline. "In fact, I'm not even sure Wes really wanted to do it. It was something that Dimension [Films] was really forcing. "He added, "The whole thing was, I have to say, uninspired. I think the movie, of all the first four, is the weakest. It's a shame, but it's the reality. "Wes CravenScream 4 arrived a decade after Scream 3, reuniting Craven, who directed the initial four movies, with Kevin Williamson, the writer behind Scream 1 and 2. Original stars Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, and David Arquette all returned, joined by a new group of possible killers and victims, including Emma Roberts, Rory Culkin, and the late Hayden Panettiere, whose Kirby became a fan favorite.

The 30th anniversary re-release of the original Scream, from screenwriter Kevin Williamson and director Wes Craven, brings us to a locus classicus of the 90s: a self-aware romp through the horror genre. It features Skeet Ulrich’s high schooler Billy Loomis announcing that reality is “all one big movie – but you can’t pick your genre”, which is the meta-slasher equivalent of Jacques Derrida’s belief that there is nothing outside the text. A ghost-masked killer is murdering and terrorising the bland Californian town of Woodsboro, and we begin with his gruesome assault on Casey (Drew Barrymore); he makes chilling calls to people’s landline phones, in an era where that meant you more or less had them pinned them down to a certain location. (The existence of “cellular” phones was still an exotic novelty.) The mother of teen Sidney (Neve Campbell) had been brutally killed previously, a crime pinned on local man Cotton Weary (a cameo for Liev Schreiber) who is now in jail. But was he really guilty? Now Sidney is at risk like everyone else.
