Do you like scary movies?

Dimension Films is counting on your love of horror movies to revitalize their Scream franchise after a 10 year hiatus. Announced during last year’s American Film Market by original scribe Kevin Williamson, Scream 4 has now received an official release date of April 12, 2011.

Dimension Films head Bob Weinstein tells Variety:

Scream has been such an integral part of Dimension’s history, and I look forward to continuing the franchise.

Returning to the fold with Williamson are director Wes Craven and actors Neve Campbell, Courtney Cox, and—regrettably—David Arquette.

According to Williamson, Scream 4 may be the start of a new trilogy. The innovative series has earned over $500 million in worldwide coin.
