Scream For The Small Screen. Love or Hate?

Do you remember hearing that MTV were planning a 'Scream' based TV series?

Well it's happening, it's caught my attention and of course, I want to voice my opinion on the matter.

MTV announced at their upfront presentation in New York that a one-hour Scream based pilot will air summer 2014.

The first thing that came to my mind was Teen Wolf.

MTV adapted a television series from the film Teen Wolf. With few similarities from the original film, the television series has gained some popularity.

MTV has said they plan to "reinvent" the franchise and are in talks with the films director, Wes Craven.

Weinsteins' Dimension Films will remain producers on the TV series.

Kevin Williamson looks as though he won't be writing for MTV, as they announced they are on the hunt for writers for the pilot.

What do we think about this?

On one hand I think it's a good thing. It was a massively popular horror film with a very similar audience to that of MTV viewers. So if it's done well, it should be a hit.

On the other hand, is it just sucking more and more out of the original film?

The original film did reinvent Horror and has become iconic.

But I do think if they reinvent the project and aim it at a more evolved audience it could actually work.

One thing I am sure of, Scream fans are either going to love or hate the idea.

Time will tell.
