Dimension Films – Neve Campbell onboard for Scream 4; Children of the Corn, Hellraiser sequel and American Werewolf in London retools coming…

Our previous posts on Scream 4 and Halloween 3D here. SO glad Neve Campbell is coming back. American Werewolf in London scared the hexx out of me as a kid. And Children of the Corn creeps out more the older I get naturally. Remember the ST episode with the kids killing off the ‘grups’, Village of the Damned, yeah little kids without adult units controlling them are scareeee alright. The people at Variety who did the piece misspelled American Werewolf in London AND Hellraiser. They need to get a horror fan in there!

Variety:

Promising that “I’m going back to doing what I do best,” Bob Weinstein has unveiled several films to be released by Dimension over the next year, many in 3-D.

“Scream IV” will start production in April or May as the first of a new trilogy and the company is talking to Wes Craven to direct, Weinstein reports. Neve Campbell, Courtney Cox and David Arquette will star

…In addition, the company wants to shoot “Halloween III” in 3-D, aiming to release it in October 2010. Dimension also is remaking the cult classic, “Children of the Corn.”

...“I’m heading back to my franchise films,” Weinstein declared, citing plans to shoot sequels to “Hell Raisers” and “Scanners” in 3D. Also on the slate are “Short Circuit” and “American Werewolf (sp) in London.” “These films are our strength and we are committed to doing them in style.”

The first three “Scream” pictures registered grosses of roughly $100 million a piece in the U.S…
