It looks like casting for the already shooting Scream 4 is still going on. Alison Brie will be playing Sidney’s assistant, while Mary McDonnell will be playing a mom.
Yesterday, it was announced that Adam Brody, Marley Shelton, and Erik Knudsen would be the latest lining up to likely get killed in the third sequel to the meta horror franchise. And now, according to TheWrap, joining them will be Alison Brie (“Community”, “Mad Men”) and Mary McDonnell (“Battlestar Galactica”, INDEPENDENCE DAY).
Allison will be playing “Sidney Prescott’s ambitious personal assistant who secretly envies her boss’ reluctant fame and fortune.” while Mary McDonnell will be replacing Lauren Graham’s character. Graham pulled out of the production already filming citing creative differences.
I find it very interesting how more and more cast is being added and the film is already shooting – like they are making it up as they go along.
It is rumoured that they are only handing out pages to the actors to keep the killer’s identity a secret. Perhaps these last minute additions are much to the same goal.
