Writer Kevin Williamson talked to MTV.com about Scream 4, revealing the setting of the new film and the direction he plans on taking the franchise.

The fourth one is an ensemble. It’ll take place right now, 10 years later, and it’s going to take place in [Sidney Prescott's hometown of] Woodsboro. We’ll have our three main characters, and we’ll be introducing several more.

I guess I’ll just have to be very aware of the fact that we’re a ‘4′ and that we’re beating a dead dog. I’m going to make that very apparent in the dialogue. Come on, It’s the age of the remake! And 3-D and all that [other horror fad material], can you imagine what ['Scream' movie-within-a-movie] ‘Stab 10′ is like?

Neve Campbell (Sidney), Courteney Cox (Gale) and David Arquette (Dewey) are all returning for the fourth film that is still searching for a director.
