HBO Delivers Prequels to The Wire

BuzzSugar — Thu, 06 Dec 2007 05:30:00 -0800

In preparation for ending The Wire this winter, HBO is telling us more about how the show began. A series of prequels showing the characters earlier in life have hit the Internet, and they'll also be available On Demand starting Dec. 15.

Like the Big Love back stories from earlier this year, these prequels don't reveal anything about specific plot lines. Instead, they're just little glimpses into how the characters came to be who they are. One of the three shows Prop Joe as a kid practicing his political skills in the schoolyard; another shows Bunk and McNulty getting hammered together during McNulty's first day in homicide. But my favorite is the one with young Omar, a chilling clip that combines a surprising amount of compassion with his already well-honed gangster side.

Scream IV Is On - Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, David Arquette to Star

BuzzSugar — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 05:30:16 -0700

Scream it from the rooftops: Scream IV is happening, and original stars Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, and David Arquette are attached to reprise their roles.

Scheduled to start shooting next Spring, the new movie will be the first in a new trilogy (a little Star Wars-style prequel perhaps?), and Bob Weinstein is trying to get Wes Craven to direct again. Honestly, I wouldn't be as excited about this announcement if Neve Campbell weren't starring; and sure, I'm also excited to see Ms. Cougar Town Courteney Cox and her husband back on the screen together. Though I'm usually not a horror lover, I make an exception for the Scream movies, which get their cleverness from scribe Kevin Williamson, who like Cox is also working on one of Fall's hottest new shows.

More of you guys voted to kill the franchise when news of a fourth Scream was announced months ago, but does Neve Campbell being involved change your mind at all?
