In a press release sent out yesterday we learned that Showtime Networks Inc. has entered into an exclusive seven-year film distribution arrangement with The Weinstein Company. Oh boy right? Who gives a shit? Well, there are a couple of interesting tidbits in there, primarily the fact that The Weinstein Co. has now grabbed hold of Quentin Tarantino's Inglorious Bastards, Rob Marshall's Nine is now out of limbo, the remake of David Cronenberg's Scanners is getting the go, Alexandre Aja's Piranha 3-D has an official home (which it already did) and we learn there will be a Scream 4. Yup, that's right kiddies, they are setting out to "restart" the Scream franchise. Now before you get all up in arms as if this is the worst thing ever because the Scream movies got worse and worse and worse as they went on let me just say that

Coming Soon.net is reporting that Showtime Networks and The Weinstein Company have just announced that they have signed a seven-year deal for up to 95 films including Quentin Tarantino's latest Inglorious Bastards, Alex Aja's Piranha 3D and curiously enough... Scream 4. No word on any Wes Craven involvement at this point.

"In a move that enhances its slate of theatrical motion pictures, Showtime Networks Inc. has entered into an exclusive seven-year film distribution arrangement with The Weinstein Company (Twc)." (In other words, Showtime will get first dibs on premiering all of The Weinstein's upcoming theatrical releases when they hit cable.)

The press release continues, "The output deal also includes releases from Dimension Films such as "Youth In Revolt," based on C.D. Payne's bestselling book and starring Michael Cera, "6 Billion Dollar Man," the remake of David Cronenberg's "Scanners," re-starting the "Scream" franchise with "Scream 4," and "Piranha 3D.

Showtime Networks and The Weinstein Company just announced a 7-year exclusive deal that will see some pretty interesting shows and movies being made. None more interesting, we think, than Scream 4.

And I don’t mean “interesting” in a good way here, I actually mean “ridiculous”. They have the Scanners remake and Alexandre Aja’s Piranha 3-D on the list over at Coming Soon, but they just don’t make the eyes roll like yet another lame sequel in the Franchise That Wouldn’t Die.

Read the whole announcement on Coming Soon if you’re interested, but don’t look for any more Scream 4 details; something tells me this is simply in the idea phase right now. Hopefully someone will realize what a bad idea it is and squash it before it goes too much further. But hey, at least Neve Campbell will have a job again!

In Scream, Jamie Kennedy outlines the rules for surviving a horror film thusly: Don't have sex, don't get drunk or do drugs, and never say "I'll be right back." But in the twelve years since Scream was released, there have been some a number of additions to these basic horror movie survival rules. Final Destination and it's many, many sequels taught us to never take a shower, or go for a drive when you're in the process of cheating death, because death will find you and kill you in the most cartoonish way possible. The Hostel series gave us the rules: Don't stay in hostels, and also, Don't travel. And Cabin Fever, of course, reminded us to never, ever stay in a remote cabin with Rider Strong. After watching the trailer for the upcoming UK film Donkey Punch, however, it's apparent that Scream's original rules for surviving a...

We recently gave you the first word that the sickos behind The Scream Factory would be showing off their wares at this weekend’s Wizard World Chicago. Today we got word on just what one of those wares will be...

An extremely limited collectible statue of the Treehugger character from Robert Kurtzman’s Bump, to be specific. Kurtzman sculpted, cast and painted the statue along with his Creature Crew effects team, and it stands nearly two feet tall! Click on the teaser image to see its full glory; it’s pretty damn sexy.

You’re only going to find this statue at Wizard World; remember I said they were extremely limited, so you’d better hope that you or someone who likes you is going to the show! The Bump film is gearing up production as you read this, with stars Tobin Bell, Sean Patrick Flannery and Ashley Laurence on board!

She boogied on stage with The Boss, played stroppy Gale Wethers in Scream and became one of the most recognisable faces on TV as Monica in Friends. After taking time out to have a baby and help best pal Jennifer Aniston through her marriage crisis, Courteney Cox shook off her strait-laced image to play a gossip-hungry magazine editor in her very own show. As she mercilessly lampoons certain tabloid-friendly celebs in the second series of Dirt, what could be more fitting than dishing a little dirt of our own? Read on for some tantalising titbits about the Southern belle-turned-small screen star.

1. Courteney Bass Cox grew up in a wealthy suburb of Birmingham, Alabama, where she was known by the nickname CeCe. Her parents separated when she was ten and she and her three older siblings were raised by her mum and stepdad.

Actress Courteney Cox has vivid nightmares about her time filming the Scream horror movies - because of her terrible hair.

The former Friends star, 43, regrets having her locks chopped off for the slasher franchise and thinks her hairdo was scarier than the film's iconic masked killer.

She says, "In Scream 3, I did have the worst hairdo in the world.

"I can't believe that it's forever on film. It's brutal. I would do anything to go back and get that changed."
