If there’s one thing the Scream franchise is known for, it’s those cameo-filled opening kill scenes. The most famous one, of course, occurred in the first Scream and featured Drew Barrymore as a teenager home alone who gets a call from a stranger asking her to name her favorite scary movie. The scene slowly progressed and eventually turned into one of the most memorable opening movie scenes of our generation. So, could director Wes Craven and the gang behind Scream 4 be looking to up the ante this time around?
Though we have no idea who they’re playing, it’s been announced that both Anna Paquin and Kristen Bell will serve up cameos in Scream 4. Naturally, when you hear the word “cameo” in a horror movie, your immediate reaction is that these two are going to be disposed of pretty quickly. And when that horror movie happens to belong to the Scream franchise, your first thought is that both Paquin and Bell are going to be the ones offed in the opening scene, like Drew Barrymore before them.
Then again, we could be completely wrong, and these gals could be showing up either together or separate at different points in the film. Unfortunately we probably won’t find out the real truth until Scream 4 hits theaters on April 15th, 2011.
Do you feel there’s still some juice left in this franchise, or were three Scream movies enough?
