“It’s a darker, almost more grounded, evolved version of the mask,” says Mina Lefevre, MTV’s senior vice president and head of scripted development. “It’s something we’re constantly talking about. How did that mask become that mask? What’s its purpose? How did it evolve? If the Scream movie mask was the more plastic version, for a lack of a better description, this one is a more organic looking and frankly darker version.”
Lefevre—who insists not using Ghostface had nothing to do with rights issues— promises that the spirit of Kevin Williamson and Wes Craven’s films are intact. “Scream was incredibly iconic, but we wanted to reinvent that for TV while of course keeping all the main elements that made it so iconic, including a mask, but also the soapy teen stories, pop culture humor, the scares and the killer,” she says. “We’re tonally walking that line, yet delivering the scares in a significant way. The mask was a big discussion creatively. We wanted to get a nod and a wink to what the original was, but we definitely wanted to make it more on par with what horror is now, which is darker.”
As a major fan of GhostFace (as im sure my site shows) i am not impressed by the news frankly… like RJ said in the headline below… SCREAM is GhostFace… and GhostFace is SCREAM… my opinion at this time is that it may already be ruined, and dead and buried before its even started… Changing one of the main factors that helped SCREAM get its main killer face and overall appearance isn’t good… when the pilot show does eventually air in the UK i WILL give it a chance to see how it looks, but with the recent news of no GhostFace and the mask changes im not getting excited about it… i hope it doesn’t ruin or damage the SCREAM origins… Many fans have said they would prefer a SCREAM 5 to this… also many say if theres no GhostFace then why bother at all??!! Time will tell..
