Wes Craven Talks About Possibility of Directing ‘Scream 4’

Friday, Feb 20, 2009

Director Wes Craven has addressed the mounting rumor circulating around whether or not he will direct “Scream 4“. Talking to Bloody-Disgusting, the creator of many horror films confessed on what it would be needed to bring him back to helm the fourth film for the popular ’90s horror movie franchise.

“It would take it being really as good a script as the first one was,” the 69-year-old explained, adding further, “and the pay day reflects what I’ve done for that company and what Ive gone through on Cursed (laughs).” When pressed further on the possible storylines, he insisted, “I don’t know his ideas at all. But they have made a deal with Kevin [Williamson] to write.”

“Scream 4” is intended to be a younger version of the “Scream” movies. In earlier reports, it was suggested that several of the original main characters, Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox and David Arquette, would make their returns as cameos. Kevin Williamson, the writer of the first two “Scream” films, has also been reported to be writing the draft.

Avon is proud to introduce Spotlight, a dazzling new fragrance.  Flirtatious and sparkling, Spotlight embodies what it means to be a star. The captivating scent steals the show, turning the spotlight on you making you feel like a star in your own daily life.

“This fragrance was created to make people feel confident and special,” explains Courteney. “While my job as an actor puts me in the spotlight, my role as a wife and mother also takes centre stage. I think we’re all in the spotlight in our own unique way, and this fragrance highlights the excitement and exhilaration of that feeling.”

Like Courteney herself, Spotlight has a seductive star quality.  The fragrance is captured in a chic, glimmering “quilted” glass bottle reminiscent of the light on a dressing room mirror.  The top notes of the sparkling fresh fragrance burst with excitement, inspired by the feeling of anticipation before a big moment.  An icy silver accord meets illuminating citrus with sun-ripened mandarin pure and Italian bergamot essence, extracted via cold press from the peel of the fruit.

At the heart of Spotlight are deluxe naturals only available from International Flavors and Fragrances’ exclusive Laboratorie Monique Remy, a state-of-the-art laboratory and manufacturing facility in France. The luminous floral heart shines the spotlight on you, combining pristine hydroponic white freesia, which is nurtured in a purely aqueous environment void of any impurities, rich tuberose absolute, and mimosa pur to capture the essence of confidence and radiance as you step into the spotlight.

For the grand finale, the fragrance bows into sexy undertones of creamy cashmere sandalwood and precious vetiver with a kiss of amber crystals that leave a lasting impression.

Starring as the face of this exhilarating new fragrance is actor, wife and mother, Courteney Cox. From the first time she jumped on stage in a music video, Courteney stole the spotlight and made the world take notice. Since then, the award-winning actor and producer has lit up the big and small screens alike with memorable roles. She is a true inspiration to women who are shining stars in their daily lives. It is with this captivating beauty that Spotlight, makes its debut.

On the eve of Barack Obama‘s inauguration more than 50 celebrities have teamed up on MySpace to record videos making a “pledge of service” to the next president of the United States.

Among the celebrities who recorded videos for The Presidential Pledge project, sponsored by MySpace and actor Ashton Kutcher’s Katalyst Media, are singers Sean P. “Diddy” Combs and actresses Cameron Diaz and Eva Longoria.

Others making pledges include Will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas, Anthony Kiedis of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, actresses Marissa Tomei, Courtney Cox Arquette, Lucy Lui and Laura Linney and actors Jason Bateman and Tobey Maguire.

The videos, which are available at myspace.com/presidentialpledge, were directed, produced and edited by Kutcher’s wife, actress Demi Moore.

Viewers are also invited to record their own personal pledge and upload it to the site.

“The ultimate goal is to motivate the MySpace community to create their own pledges to help bring about the change inspired by Obama’s Campaign,” MySpace said in a statement.

“The Presidential Pledge is a platform for people across the nation and throughout the world to make a first person commitment of service to our new President, articulating a specific intent or action to become an agent of positive change,” said Kutcher.

Among the pledges is Combs’s commitment to “turn the lights off,” “Desperate Housewives” star Longoria’s promise to “plant 500 trees.” “Friends” star Cox Arquette for her part pledges to “help end hunger in America.”
