It seems at the moment that a “Scream 5” is in the hands of the Weinstein brothers (Bob mostly) and according to Craven has not been told anything of when or if a fifth sequel is going to happen. (the fourth movie in the franchise made an estimated 97 million overall so it would be safe to assume that there would be) Also for those of us who have been waiting for a reboot of the classic Craven flick “People Under the Stairs” that has been talked about since 2008, well, it’s a DEAD issue and is no longer in the works. Craven recently told SCiFiNow (January 13th, 2013) that “[We] did explore, very seriously, doing the remake of it... [But] it wasn’t working out -there were a few entities involved with the property and for whatever reasons it just never came together.”
As for the comic (“Coming of Rage) it is still set for release this year. The story of [Rage] follows a teenage boy who apparently was born into a family of vampires, although, he doesn’t find out until his coming of age which doesn't happen until he steps into the middle of a bar fight. During the fight he is helped out by a couple who turn out to be a zombie and a werewolf. The story completely reminds be of Toby Whitehouse’s “Being Human”. As all the supernatural characters as have a touch of humanity in them and is pretty much them against the world.
While I did enjoy “Being Human” (the BBC version per-say of the SyFy one) I think I might hold off on the comic.
You can catch the final season of the British “Being Human” on BBC America later this year and the SyFy version on Monday Nights on, well, the SyFy Channel.
Until next time...
