Beating out many actresses for the lead in the new Scream 4 flick, Emma Roberts (Valentine’s Day, What’s Wrong With Virginia) joins the cast for the horror trilogy’s return. Twilight’s Ashley Greene was recently up for the part of Jill (Sidney’s younger cousin) as recently as last week.
Roberts joins the senior cast of Courtney Cox, David Arquette and Neve Campbell from the original trilogy along with newcomers Hayden Penettiere, Rory Culkin and Lake Bell .
Directed by Wes Craven, Scream 4 has a tentative release date of April 15th, 2011.
What do you think of the new casting? Does Roberts better fit the role than Greene?
