Scream 4 (stylized as SCRE4M) is a 2011 American slasher film and the fourth installment in the Scream series. It was directed by Wes Craven and written by Kevin Williamson, writer of Scream and Scream 2. It stars an ensemble cast of David Arquette, Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, Emma Roberts and Hayden Panettiere. The plot involves Sidney Prescott returning to Woodsboro after ten years as part of her book tour. As soon as she arrives, Ghostface once again begins killing students from Woodsboro High, including her younger cousin's friends. Prescott, Gale Weathers Riley, and Dewey Riley once again team up to stop the murders, but not before having to learn from a new generation the "new rules" of surviving horror films.
Originally, the series was intended to be a trilogy, but after ten years, Bob Weinstein thought it was the right time for another film. Depending on the box office, Scream 4 is intended to be the first of a new trilogy. Williamson had to leave production early due to contractual obligations and Ehren Kruger (Scream 3) was brought in for re-writes. Campbell, Arquette and Cox are the only returning cast members from the previous films and were the first to sign on to the film in September 2009. Panettiere and Rory Culkin were the first of the new cast to sign on in May 2010. Ashley Greene was originally offered the role of the lead character, Jill, but the role eventually went to Roberts. Filming took place in and around Ann Arbor, Michigan in June 2010 to September 2010, with re-shoots in early 2011.
Scream 4 was released on April 15, 2011 to mixed reviews. It took in $19.3 million its opening weekend in the United States and Canada, making it the second-lowest opening since the first film.
The Plot I took from wikipedia.
On the fifteenth anniversary of the Woodsboro massacre by Billy Loomis and Stu Macher, high school students Jenny Randall (Aimee Teegarden) and Marnie Cooper (Brittany Robertson) are attacked and brutally killed by a new Ghostface.The following day, Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell) returns to Woodsboro to promote her new book and becomes a suspect in the murders, with evidence in her rental car, forced by Dewey Riley (David Arquette) to stay in Woodsboro until the crime is solved. While in town, she stays with her aunt Kate Roberts (Mary McDonnell) and cousin Jill (Emma Roberts), who is dealing with the betrayal of her ex-boyfriend Trevor Sheldon (Nico Tortorella).
At night the attacks continue, taking the life of Jill's friend Olivia Morris (Marielle Jaffe) and Sidney's publicist Rebecca Walters (Alison Brie). Later on, deputies Anthony Perkins (Anthony Anderson) and Ross Hoss (Adam Brody), are killed, and Gale Weathers Riley (Courteney Cox) is severely wounded while spying on a party held by several teenagers, believing the killer will be present.
When Ghostface later comes for Sidney and Jill, her Aunt Kate is fatally stabbed in the back and during a gathering at Jill's friend Kirby Reed's (Hayden Panettiere) home, Ghostface strikes again, killing Robbie Mercer (Erik Knudsen) while Sidney arrives to try to save Jill and Kirby. After Kirby is forced to answer horror film trivia questions to spare the life of Charlie Walker (Rory Culkin), he reveals himself as the killer and stabs her in the stomach, leaving her for dead. Charlie and his accomplice, unmasked as Jill, capture Sidney and reveal their plan to recreate the original Woodsboro massacre and frame Trevor, to become the new "Sidney" and "Randy Meeks", respectively. Jill executes Trevor by shooting him in the head, but also betrays and murders Charlie before stabbing Sidney, apparently to death. Jill then intentionally harms herself to appear the "lone survivor" of the new massacre. After being found and taken to hospital, Jill learns that Sidney has survived her wounds and attempts to finish her off but, with intervention from Gale, Dewey, and Judy Hicks (Marley Shelton), Sidney shoots Jill in the chest, killing her.
