I thought this bitch was doing porn.

Oh wait, her beefy mannish frame won't let her break into mainstream porn, she'd have to do freaky hermaphrodite porn.

No word on whether any of the other regulars (Courteney Cox or David Arquette) will return.

A week or so ago I was watching Jay Leno when nothing else was on, and Courtney Cox was the guest--she mentioned the new Scream and saying that both she and David Arquette were both planning to be in it, she didn't know at the time whether Neve Campbell would be involved. And I found this article which says "It's already known that former Friends star Courteney Cox and her husband David Arquette will star in the film." So there ya go.

And there was me thinking Scream 4 already existed.

Chief problem with the Scream franchise: too many un-killable protagonists/stars. Where's the tension with Campbell, Arquette, and Cox presented as invincible? Even if you killed all three of them off in the opening scene of the fourth movie, it would play like simply like the recycled opening gimmick.

It's too late to solve the problem now, as the tone is set, and this story has been played out. In the second and third movies the overwrought drama was just too much, Parker Posey notwithstanding. I'd almost watch this just to see how Randy's next beyond-the-grave videocassette explains that his horror "trilogy" theories that were the spine of the third movie inexplicably have been trumped by the all-powerful studio-wants-more-money rule of horror filmmaking.

Hell - maybe that's the only way you could make this movie interesting: turn it into some sort of verite, Hollywood-insider, meta exercise in which Cox, Arquette, and Campbell play themselves in a real world with a real copycat killer - sort of in the vein of that one Elm Street edition that had Freddy transcending the screen and the filmmakers as the characters.

I just don't know how much more mileage there is to be had from the arch, self-aware horror shtick. It was novel in 1996. After all the referential crap of the last 13 years, this seems tired.

Neve Campbell To Scream One More Time

GET OUT OF TK MIKE AUSIELLO

why don't they just make the movie-within-scream-3 'STAB'?

since it had three scripts (don't make me explain why i know this), they could make it with three different endings (think Clue)...

and posey HAS to come back as the-gail-within.

please don't make me beg.

Oooh, the poor little spambot. He/she/it is just looking for some love, be it tall, wet, rich,or a hot single.
They crack me up actually. I'm pretty sure spambot is from another country, if not planet. Spambot has made the EE's, you know. High accolades indeed.

beefy mannish frame? are you talking about the same waif who was a dancer before hitting the movies?

that slip doesnt have a womanish or mannish frame, more like a cartoony famine frame

"Before" being the operative word.

You know, I never watched Party of Five (I think I tried an episode once back in the day but couldn't get past all the whining-and I was a teenager in the 90s for goodness sake) but did you ever notice how all the female characters are really squinty? Neve, JLH and even Lacey Chabert. It's like they thought squinty eyes = sad and deep = good actressin'.
Wrooooong. If I never see Neve Campbell or JLH in another movie, I'll know there is a Godtopus. Lacey only gets a pass b/c she was funny in Mean Girls. But she's walking on some thin ice.
For me, squinty eyes = death rays. Men have died. For reals.
The worthy were revived by my glorious rack.

k8wma , I love that someone is noticing...

TK, she should be slapping her agent constantly. Has anybody seen any of her recent movies? No seriously, what has she been in recently? I have no idea what happened to her career but I'm guessing she's been doing those movies Slim was talking about.
