Lake Bell Out of ‘Scream IV’ Mystery
A quick news brief as actress Lake Bell announced via Twitter that she won’t be able to star in Wes Craven’s Scream IV due to scheduling conflicts. “Sucks: Scheduling conflicts with my current gig means I cant do #Scream4! (Hey horror bloggers, I know who the killer is…) #i’llnevertell.” Shooting begins this coming Monday in Ann Arbor, Michigan. The new film sees the return of cast members Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox and David Arquette, along with a group of new stars, who can hopefully stay alive long enough to figure out the new rules to this one-of-a-kind horror franchise. Dimension Films will release on April 15, 2011. Click the title above for the full cast.
