A 7-year distribution deal includes the films
ComingSoon.net reports that Scream 4 and Piranha 3D are part of a new 7-year distribution deal that Showtime Networks and The Weinstein Company have signed:
The output deal also includes releases from Dimension Films such as “Youth In Revolt,” based on C.D. Payne’s bestselling book and starring Michael Cera, “6 Billion Dollar Man,” the remake of David Cronenberg’s “Scanners,” re-starting the “Scream” franchise with “Scream 4,” and “Piranha 3D.”
This deal furthers the relationship between Showtime Networks and TWC’s Dimension Films which began in 1997 with Showtime airing “Mimic,” and “Scream 2.”
Alexandre Aja’s Piranha 3D has already been scheduled for a July 24, 2009 theatrical release, but no news has come in about the next “Scream” movie.
