With Wes Craven and Dimension Films ready to start rolling into production on SCREAM 4 beginning this July in Michigan, they better get crackin’ when it comes to casting this biotch, as beyond the main 3 (Courtney Cox, David Arquette, and Neve Campbell), there hasn’t been any other casting announcements… until now.
According to THR’s Heat Vision Blog, TWILIGHT SAGA’s Ashley Greene (above), HEROES’s Hayden Panettiere (below), Lake Bell (below), and Rory Culkin (Macaulay Culkin’s brother) are all in negotiations for roles in SCREAM 4. Nice! Not that Culkin should serve as anything but body count fodder, but Greene and Panettiere are smokin’ hot, and this Bell chick is pretty hot for the older of the bunch. I say older, but I’m an asshole, since she and I are about the same age…
The casting goes down like this (if all negotiations go through without a hitch): Greene plays Sidney’s cousin Jill (who becomes the main “final girl” of the movie and the new franchise), with Panettiere playing her best friend / the film’s movie geek character (helllllo Randy!), and Culkin playing Greene’s love interest (Skeet!). No details on Bell’s role at the moment, but let’s be crazy and say she’s gonna be the new Ghost Face. Hey–I’m just throwing it out here!
Apparently casting has been slow because the script is so under wraps and secret that actors have a tough time determining which roles they want, and which ones they should audition for, as all they have are basic character descriptions. Someone should slap the hell out of all these actors and say something along the lines of “this is your chance to be in a new SCREAM movie–it’s gonna be big–what the hell is there to think about???”
Of course, nothing is signed or set in stone at this point, but I don’t see why it wouldn’t go forth with these new youngins, taking the baton from the old folks and starting the second half of the new SCREAM trilogy.
