According to writer Kevin Williamson, Jamie Kennedy will not be reprising his role as Randy (who is dead by the way) in the upcoming Scream 4.

Williamson, who’s bagged writing duties as well as a producers credit had this to say…

“We’re not that movie. We’re not that universe where you can bring people back from the dead. That would be just a cheat. It’s such a disservice. Everyone’s like, ‘When’s Randy coming back?’ I’m like, ‘You know what? I would love nothing more than to have Jamie Kennedy in the film. However to have Randy in the film, it sort of just takes it… I mean Scream 2 was a lie, you know? It’s a false move. So I just won’t do it. I can’t do that. I just won’t do it’.”

Williamson also confirmed that he is under contract to write a further two more Scream movies after Scream 4.

“There’s three. I am contracted for four, five and six, but the deal for six is not done,”

Two Scream trilogies?

I’m not sure if I like the sound of that…

Scream 4 hits US cinemas on April 15, 2011.
