MTV is looking for a Sidney Prescott of its own.

The network is developing a TV series adaptation of Wes Craven and Kevin Williamson's horror franchise Scream, sources confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter.

As first reported by TV Line, former MTV executives Tony DiSanto (The Hills, Teen Wolf, Teen Mom) and Liz Gateley (The Hard Times of RJ Berger) are on board to executive produce the project, with a search underway to find a writer to pen the project.

What role Scream director Craven and screenwriter Williamson would have with the project has yet to be determined.

Since debuting in 1996, the franchise -- which stars Neve Campbell as Sidney along with Courteney Cox as investigative reporter Gale Weathers and David Arquette as loyal lawman Dewey -- has spawned three sequels. The franchise has grossed more than $330 million worldwide.

Williamson, meanwhile, already has two series set for the 2012-13 television season: The CW's The Vampire Diaries and Fox's Kevin Bacon serial killer drama The Following, which was picked up to series in May.

The Scream project comes as the young-skewing network has found success on the scripted side with another feature film-to-series TV adaptation in Teen Wolf, which was based on the 1980s movies that originally starred Michael J. Fox. The werewolf drama returned for a second season Sunday night.

滬江娛樂(lè)快訊：MTV電視臺(tái)正在為本臺(tái)打造的新劇尋找尖叫女主角。

經(jīng)《好萊塢記者報(bào)》確認(rèn)，MTV正在著手將韋斯?克雷文（Wes Craven）和凱文?威廉姆森（Kevin Williamson）一手打造的恐怖系列影片《驚聲尖叫》翻拍成電視劇。

最早的時(shí)候《TV line》報(bào)道，原MTV電視臺(tái)的監(jiān)制托尼?迪桑托（Tony DiSanto，其作品有《好萊塢女孩》、《少狼》、《少女?huà)屵洹罚┖屠?蓋特利（Liz Gately，作品有《少年成長(zhǎng)記》）已經(jīng)確認(rèn)負(fù)責(zé)這部劇的監(jiān)制，同時(shí)本劇還在四處招納一名編劇。

至于原導(dǎo)演韋斯?克雷文和編劇凱文?威廉姆森在這部新劇中將“扮演”什么樣的角色，至今尚未作決。

從1996年至今，這部圍繞內(nèi)芙?坎貝爾（Neve Campbell）扮演的席妮(Sidney)、柯特妮?考克斯（Courtney Cox）扮演的調(diào)查記者蓋兒?韋瑟斯（Gale Weathers），以及大衛(wèi)?阿奎特（David Arquette）扮演的盡忠職守的警官杜威（Dewey）展開(kāi)的電影已經(jīng)衍生了三部續(xù)集，這一系列影片在全球共賺得了超過(guò)3.3億美元的收入。

同時(shí)，在今年到明年的電視季，威廉姆森還負(fù)責(zé)了兩部劇集，分別是CW電視臺(tái)的《吸血鬼日記》，以及Fox電視臺(tái)五月開(kāi)播的新劇《殺手之王》（The Following），后者由凱文?貝肯（Kevin Bacon）主演，講述了連環(huán)殺手的故事。

深受年輕人喜歡的MTV電視臺(tái)，自從成功地改寫(xiě)了另一部由電影改編的劇集《少狼》后，就萌生了改編《驚聲尖叫》的計(jì)劃。《少狼》改編自20世紀(jì)80年代的電影，由邁克爾?J?福克斯（Michael J. Fox）主演。新改編的《少狼》第二季已于上周日晚上回歸。
