Stabbity Stab Stab: Ghostface’s newest victim is Emma Roberts


Ghostface gets another virgin to terrorize

Old franchises never die; they just get sequels.

It’s been reported for the last several years that Dimension has been wanting to restart their dormant Scream series with a fourth entry that would provide a new trilogy for the character Ghostface, first seen in the now-classic 1997 original that starred Neve Campbell, Courtney Cox, and David Arquette. Alongside these returning actors, several names have been tossed around as potential fodder for Ghostface to wreck havoc on: Ashley Greene (best known for portraying Alice Cullen in the Twilight franchise), Hayden Panettiere (“Claire Bennett” on Heroes),  and Rory Culkin (You Can Count on Me) have all been in talks for starring in the upcoming Scre4m (or Scream 4) that is also confirmed to be helmed by the original creative team of Kevin Williamson and legendary director Wes Craven.

However, aside from definite confirmation of the crew behind the project and the return of Campbell and the Arquettes, the only solid peice of casting  news has been reported by Entertainment Weekly, with Emma Roberts (Nancy Drew) being confirmed today for the role of Jill Kessler, cousin to Sidney Prescott (Campbell). Details are still being sketched out as the film gears up for production, with the Weinstein Company look for a release date of April 15, 2011. Jamie Kennedy, who appeared in Scream, Scream 2, and a cameo in Scream 3, was also rumored to reprise his role as film geek Randy Meeks, despite being killed off in Scream 2.
