Cast Of "Scream 4" Screaming For Help

Seems like a lot of these actors on the set of "Scream 4" are getting stabbed in the back. A couple weeks ago we heard that Lake Bell had exited the project due to scheduling conflicts. She was set to play a deputy that went to school with Neve Campbells character. That role will now be played by Marley Shelton according to Heat Vision. The website also reports that OC's Adam Brody has joined the cast as an officer fresh out of college. We know why Brody is here, to add some comic relief along with actor Erik Knudsen, who will be playing a character similar to Randy's. I'm confused, wasn't it reported that Hayden Panettiere was playing the film geek?

Ghouls on Film is reporting that there has been multiple script changes and that Lauren Graham of "Parenthood" and "Gilmore Girls" fame has now exited the project pointing to said changes as one of the reasons. The script changes are also getting to a lot of the cast members, making for an uneasy set.  Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox Arquette, David Arquette, Emma Roberts, Hayden Panettiere, Rory Culkin, Nico Tortorella, Anthony Anderson and Marielle Jaffe are all stationed in Michigan as Wes Craven is now lensing the project based on the Kevin Williamson script. Which draft? Nobody knows.

What Heat Vision Is Saying:

To preserve the identity of the killer, Craven and Williamson are operating under several layers of secrecy, including not sending the script to agencies. At a table read last week, the actors were told to stop reading at page 75 to prevent even those already cast in the film from knowing the climax.
