Brie, who plays the studios Annie “Adderall” Edison on NBC’s Community and Pete Campbell’s doting wife on AMC’s Mad Men, spoke to NBC New York yesterday, and she chatted up Scream 4 a bit, saying she was a huge fan of the franchise and comments on the self referential style, saying, “It's really the kind of franchise that fans get into because of the comedy and the horror. It's like winking at itself.
She concluded the interview by talking about her character a bit more specifically. “I will just say the character, itself, is very cool and interesting,” Brie states, continuing, “She sort of looks up to Gale Weathers – Courteney Cox's character – so she's along that same sort of vein.” Cox’s Gail Weathers, the no-nonsense newswoman, seems a likely candidate for Ghostface-related fatality in Scream 4, and Brie’s comment hints that maybe, just maybe, her role could be to essentially take over in a Weathers-like capacity for this hopeful new trilogy.
Of course, Brie’s character could also just be a sycophant who meets her maker in this film, but I like the idea of her being a new franchise regular. We’ll find out for sure on April 16th.
Which original cast members do you think will make it through Scream 4 more or less unscathed?
