Jamie Kennedy will not appear in the upcoming Scream 4, says writer Kevin Williamson.

Speaking to Fearnet, Williamson revealed that Kennedy would not return to reprise the role of Randy in the sequel.

"We're not that movie. We're not that universe where you can bring people back from the dead. That would be just a cheat. It's such a disservice," he said.

Williamson continued: "Everyone's like, 'When's Randy coming back?' I'm like, 'You know what? I would love nothing more than to have Jamie Kennedy in the film. However to have Randy in the film, it sort of just takes it... I mean Scream 2 was a lie, you know? It's a false move. So I just won't do it. I can't do that. I just won't do it'."

The producer also confirmed that he is contracted to write two more Scream films after the fourth instalment.

"There's three. I am contracted for four, five and six, but the deal for six is not done," he added.

Scream 4 is scheduled to arrive in US cinemas on April 15, 2011.
