Writers are Hired for MTV's "Scream" TV Show

Earlier this year MTV committed to a pilot episode for a television series based of of the "Scream" franchise. A writer had not been picked at the time of the announcement, but now we know who they have chosen to write the script. Jay Beattie and Dan Dworkin have been hired to be co-writers. Both have previously worked on Criminal Minds, Mercy and Revenge. It has also been said that they have approached Wes Craven to direct the pilot episode. At the beginning of the year he wasn't ready to make a commitment. 

Wes Craven:

 “A lot of you have asked about the Scream TV series. It’s true I’ve been approached. My response was, it would depend on the script. If they have a great script/concept, it could be fun. If not, not.”

If the pilot episode is a success the Scream television show will continue on for a whole season. The plan would be for them to start airing in in the Summer of 2014.
