Screaming Mad?


Wes Craven seems to have his hands full with his return to Woodsboro

Scream 4 just begun production, but there's already talk of on-set chaos with script and casting changes

Zap2It got things rolling with the initial report that Scream 3 screenwriter Ehren Kruger had been brought in to perform rewrites of Kevin Williamson's script and claims that Williamson himself is 'out of the picture' leaving the the fate of further sequels up in the air.

The site also claims that said changes to the script reduced Lauren Graham's role so much the actress opted out, while Hayden Panettiere's role has been 'dumbed down' to the point that the actress is "beyond frustrated".

STYD followed up on the report with a source who confirmed that Kruger is doing some polishing but Williamson isn't out as he's fulfilling his commitments on the second season of "The Vampire Diaries". Graham's departure is said to be due to scheduling conflicts with her work on TV's Parenthood (Sniff sniff)

Meanwhile Heat Vision reports that Alison Brie and “Battlestar Galactica” star Mary McDonnell have joined the cast.

Brie is playing Rebecca, Sidney's ambitious personal assistant who secretly envies her boss' reluctant fame and fortune

It's hard to say what's really going on here but some of it seems suspect--too much is going on for some of it not to be a distraction or misdirection of some kind in the age of the Net
