SCREAM 4 Trailer Leaks!

"What's the good in being a survivor Sidney if everyone around you is dead?"

Some people have no sense of occasion. Rather than simply enjoying the opportunity to see the premiere of the trailer for Dimension Films' fourth 'Scream' movie, one sneaky Scream Awards audience member took the opportunity to film it. But, thanks to Wes Craven he/she did act with such a careless grasp on morality, because now we have some footage from the upcoming 'Scream 4'.

For the time being, it remains online - though the quality isn't exactly ideal for showing off the trailer's qualities. From what you can see, it looks pretty damn good - even if I don't fully agree with the creative decision to dial up the action rather than going for a minimalist approach drawing on the iconography and established tropes of the franchise in true teaser fashion. But at least that approach offers a little more to get our teeth into even at this early stage.

If I was a gambling man, I'd already know who I'd be betting on as the killer this time around, but I don't want to spoil it just yet. Now that the trailer has been shown to the audience at the Scream Awards, we can probably expect it to appear officially online within the next few days. 'Scream 4' will open in the US on April 15th 2011.
