Rumor has it that a new writer will be continuing the legacy known as the Scream film franchise. Kevin Williamson, who is responsible for writing all four Scream films, may be passing the torch to a younger generation. Joshua Patrick Dudley, author of a popular children’s series of novels, Lost in Oz, and writer and director of the amateur made “Stab” films (based on the Scream movies) is rumored to be taking over for Kevin Williamson after he was overheard discussing Scream 5 ideas with Wes Craven at Scream 4’s premiere in Hollywood.
Dudley’s own Stab films, which are based on the movies in the Scream movies and share the same name, have received hundreds of thousands of views on youtube and have gained quite a large following in the Scream community and beyond. He fresh takes on the stories and ideas of the Scream movies have some young fans hopeful for a more exciting sequel than Scream 4.
“Scream 4 was great but I’d be really excited to hear what Josh Dudley would have to say in his own Scream script.” says Nate Daily, a fan of both the Scream films and Joshua’s Stab films. “I’ve followed his films since the beginning and if any had to replace Kevin Williamson, I think he’d be the one to do it. He really understands the Scream films and what the fans want to see but, he also understands how to keep it fresh and exciting for a younger crowd.”
Dudley’s first two Stab films (Stab 4: Fresh Blood and Stab 5) are available for free online viewing on both www.youtube.com/stabmovies and the official website www.StabMovies.com. At press time, neither
Dudley nor Craven could be reached for a comment.
This story is complete crap and needs to be pulled. Do your research before posting stuff about jerks like JPD.
Big congrats to that guy it comes to show if a normal guy can write and film his own amateur horror films and get credited for it by writers of an actually horror movie series then anything is possible! Big shouts outs once again!
That would suck balls. He is a terrible writer. Who would even believe those rumors? Why would they hire an amateur nobody to write Scream 5? This is stupid.
I love his Stab movies and think this would be a great idea! I don't know why people like to hate on this guy, they are just jealous! his movies and scripts are awesome and deserves all the good stuff that comes his way!
anyone commenting on the validity of this article, i'm pretty sure the article starts with "rumor has it" as in this may not be true, but it could be.
Finally someone that gets it :)
His writing is so terrible. He probably made up the rumors himself. He's got his "fans" on facebook thinking that he's actually going to get "picked" to write Scream 5. Personally, I thought his version of Stab 4 was entertaining, but it really didn't feel like a Stab movie, just a Scream ripoff. Also, he claims that he doesn't make money off the movies, but he sells Stab t-shirts and posters and such, which I do believe is illegal. If he wants to make fan movies that's great, but he really shouldn't be cashing on the popular of the scream movies by selling Stab products.
LOL, whoever wrote this is hilarious! Right tim whos probably Josh or someone on one of his movies. Im not hating but he should just stick to his Stab movies on youtube and leave Scream for the professionals. I'm still not surprised that hes not getting sued, hes making money off of a logo and name that was created by the people who made scream, He must be dodging a lot of lawsuits selling thoughs shirts on cafepress. Just because you put not (NOT affiliated with Dimension Films or the Weinstein Company.) doesnt mean he still cant get sued big time. Hes ballsy for taking a risk at these movies and merchandise.
You guys seriously don't like him that much that you have to spread rumors and lies about him. Joshua has permission to use both the scream mask and the stab logo for whatever he wants to, even to make money. He now owns part of the copyright. If any of you paid attention to the real facts you'd know this. And also, the money made from the t-shirts (reportedly less than 20 bucks so far) is used for the productions of the Stab movies, it doesn't go into his pockets. The only thing wrong that I have ever heard about Josh is stuff that isn't true. People just like to run their mouths for nothing to feel important. Well get over guys, Josh's movies are better than anything that you could ever dream of making and you're all making him more famous by hating on him. Idiots.
Kevin didn't write Scream 3 – Ehren Kruger did.
fake, his stab movies are really bad. Mostly the acting. but also, everything about it
if there makeing a 5th dont you think they should cover the holes in the 3rd???….cause in the 3rd scream when sydney sees the house and goes inside ghost face chaces her throught the house to her remake room and when she locks herself in, he bangs on the door then right when he stops he pops up outside the window impossibe for him to be that fast!!! then when she falls out the window with him outside naturaly sydney gets a head and hes right behind her but when she gets in the house through the front door and locks it right when she turns around ghost face comes from the closet…… my question/statement is there has to have been 2, her brother had to be working with someone! someone was already inside the house cause theres no way that he could have gotten in the house and in the closet theres no way even if he knew the house very well theres no way sydney got there first!!! rewatch it and you'll notice theres noway theres only the one….
