Firstly, you guys remember all that drama surrounding SCREAM 4 when production first geared up? This name was unhappy, that name was dropping out of the project… It seemed every week there was new drama with this one. Well it’s been a while since any of that has come up so Movieline took it upon themselves to ask actor Nico Tortorella what the deal was with all that:
“I mean… right when we sat down for the first table read, everyone knew there were issues going on with the script, everyone knew what was going on with Courteney [Cox] and David [Arquette], and it was there. But we’re such a light group of people, all of us involved with this movie, and cast-wise we jumped into this and wanted to have a party and have a good time doing this. And I feel like that kind of overshadowed what was going on underneath, especially with relationships that were going on, and even the script. It was all good. We were here to learn and have a good time and go along with the process. We had heard stories from the first three movies that were all the same, if not worse, than what was going on with this fourth movie. The original three had been through a lot more than we went through on this fourth movie. They just grandfathered us into it. They were like big brother and sister, like, “Listen, guys, this is all good.” That being said over and over again was like, all right, cool. Let’s keep going.”
Interesting. It’s nice to get an honest take on what the whole deal was. For the whole interview head right over HERE.
Sidney Prescott, now the author of a self-help book, returns home to Woodsboro on the last stop of her book tour. There she reconnects with Sheriff Dewey and Gale, who are now married, as well as her cousin Jill and her Aunt Kate. Unfortunately Sidney’s appearance also brings about the return of Ghostface, putting Sidney, Gale, and Dewey, along with Jill, her friends, and the whole town of Woodsboro in danger.
