July 1, 2010 - Scream 4 / Lauren Graham drops out of movie
Scooped on Thursday, July 1, 2010
There won't be the mom from Gilmore Girls in Scream 4. Turns out that Lauren Graham has had to drop out of the movie due to "date conflict and script changes."
But with Graham's exodus from the production, three new warm bodies have been found. Showing up to the set this week are Adam Brody, Marley Shelton and Erik Knudsen. Brody is playing a police detective who was inspired to join the force after growing up watching C.S.I.; Shelton takes over the role that Lake Bell had originally been slated to play, a girl that knew Sidney back in high school; and Knudsen is going to be playing a horror-obsessed wisecracker similar to Jamie Kennedy's character from the first Scream trilogy.
An interesting addendum in The Hollywood Reporter's casting coverage is the mention that Wes Craven and Kevin Williamson are using all the tricks that they can muster to keep the movie's ending and the identity of the new Ghostface killer a secret. This includes not sending the Scream 4 screenplay to casting agencies as well as asking the actors to not read past page 75 in order to keep the reveal of the movie's ending as little known as possible.
