If you're just tuning in, "Scream 4" director Wes Craven has been joining us all week long as the special guest editor of MTV Movies Blog. He's supplied us with insight into the origin of his latest "Scream" movie, what he looked for in the casting process and his thoughts on the rules of a scary movie trailer.
But that's all current stuff. Today, we're looking back. A lot of time has passed since "Scream 3" arrived in theaters in 2000, with eleven years worth of horror films standing between then and now, the eve of the fourth "Scream" film's release. It's an undeniably new landscape dominated by sub-genres from found footage and torture porn, to frequently cited problems such as sequelitis and reboots.
"You named a lot of them," Wes told me when I listed off these prevalent themes and storytelling avenues that have seemingly defined the past decade of mainstream horror. And from where he's sitting, all of these things added fuel to the fire burning brightly within "Scream 4."

After two missed shots, Sylvester Stallone and director Walter Hill will finally set their sights together on "Headshot."
Ain’t It Cool News received a direct message from Stallone that he's officially secured Hill to direct his upcoming film "Headshot." The cop and hitman team-up pic is a long time coming for this pair of filmmakers: Stallone said that he was close to working with Hill on two of the director’s previous films, 1982’s “48 Hrs.” and 1978’s “The Driver.” Although he might not be a widely-known name for modern moviegoers, Hill’s work in the '70s and '80s made him one of the most respected directors of action films and the late-20th Century revival of the Western. He's worked with some of Hollywood’s greatest action stars -- McQueen, Bronson, Schwarzenegger, Willis, Rourke, Snipes -- with Stallone being one of the few exceptions... until now.
Check out a highlight reel of Walter Hill’s work over his 40+ year career after the jump, and you’ll begin to see how a team-up with Sylvester Stallone on "Headshot" may be a perfect shot for both actor and director.
