Along with Marielle Jaffe, Anderson joins returning cast members Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, and David Arquette, and newcomers Emma Roberts, Hayden Panettiere, Rory Culkin, Lake Bell, Nico Tortorella, and Lauren Graham.
It's been ten years since Scream 3 (2000) was released. Kevin Williams, who wrote the first three films, is back to write a new trilogy for the franchise. The movie will be set ten years later in Woodsboro, and is described as "an ensemble" which will introduce several new characters. In an interview with EW, Craven stated that the new film will take place a decade later, a decade without the ghostface killer.
"This is a film about the progress of, at this point, three core characters, and how all of these events have changed their lives, and how the events in their lives have been reflected in the movies around them, which they might like or might really not like at all. I think that makes it really different." (Kevin Williams)
Shooting will begin later this month in Michigan for an April 15, 2011 release date.
