Scream 4 gets three more victims

Shooting for Wes Craven’s Scream 4 began earlier this week. However, we are still hearing casting news for the film. According to Heat Vision Blog, Adam Brody, Marley Shelton and Erik Knudsen have now joined the cast.

Adrien Brody is set to play a cop, who just graduated from college, and “was raised on the “CSI” TV series.”Marley Shelton will play a deputy who knew Neve Campbell’s character in high school. The role was originally to be played by Lake Bell, but dropped out. Erik Knudsen will play the comic relief, who is a fan of horror movies.

Wes Craven and Kevin Williamson are wanting to keep the identity of the killer a secret. The are even going so far to not send the script any agencies. The actors were even told to stop reading the script, so even they don’t know how the film will end. I’ve never been much of a fan of these films, but it sounds like Craven has something amazing if he doesn’t even let the actors read it.

The film will reunite the original cast members of Neve Campbell,  David Arquette and Courteney Cox. The story is written as “to pass the baton”to a younger generation of Victims. These include  Emma Roberts, Hayden Panettiere, Rory Culkin and Nico Tortorella.

Scream 4 is currently shooting and is set to be released on August 15, 2011.
