Matthew Lillard is probably best known for his work on the Scream franchise and for playing Scooby-Doo’s BFF Shaggy in the Scooby-Doo series of live-action films. But the actor has been working in the entertainment industry for over twenty-years and has appeared in several popular movies including Hackers, She’s All That, Summer Catch, and The Perfect Score, as well as the critically acclaimed SLC Punk! Lillard is now receiving some of the best reviews of his life for his career transforming performance in director Alexander Payne’s The Descendants, which was just nominated for several Golden Globes and is currently a frontrunner for best picture at this year’s Academy Awards.
The film, which is currently in limited release and opens wide on December 16th, stars Oscar-winner George Clooney as Matt King. Matt is a real estate lawyer from Hawaii put in charge of his family’s land deal while he is dealing with his wife’s terminal coma, and two young daughters. Soon after finding out that his wife is going to die, Matt is struck with more bad news … she’s been cheating on him. Along with his children, and his oldest daughter’s (Shailene Woodley) friend Sid (Nick Krause), Matt goes on a quest to confront the man his wife was having an affair with. Lillard plays Brian Spear, the man he’s desperately searching for, but when Matt finely locates him, he discovers that Brian is closer connected to his own life than he could ever have imagined.
I recently had a chance to sit down and speak with Matthew Lillard about his work on The Descendants. The actor discussed his new film, his pivotal character, working with director Alexander Payne, his insecurities about playing George Clooney’s wife’s lover, and his overall career.

One of the big questions about Wes Craven and Kevin Williamson’s attempted restart of their Scream franchise is how – and to what extent – the new, youthful cast members will take over returning stars Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, and David Arquette. The latest trailer makes it a point to announce that when it comes to who will survive to the end, all bets are off. Eric Walkuski at Joblo’s Arrow in the Head has a theory about Alison Brie’s potential role in the franchise, particularly regarding Courteney Cox.

Neve Campbell has been keeping out of the spotlight as of late. While she gained fame in the highly popular Scream franchise, she has kept mostly quiet lately. Not that she stopped working completely, but nothing as high profile as playing Sidney Prescott in the horror staple.
With Campbell returning as Sidney in Scream 4 next year, she is also in negotiations to star in Singularity, a drama directed by Roland Joffe.
She would be starring opposite Josh Hartnett in the film, which takes place in 1778 and 2015. The story involves intertwining souls, past lives and a ring. Hartnett will be playing an archeologist who falls into a coma and a British captain in colonial India.
Hartnett will be headlining the film, while Campbell would be playing his wife, a fellow archeologist in the 2015 portion of the film.
Singularity is scheduled to begin shooting in Australia and India in January.

Fear is a very natural emotion that 99.9% of this world’s occupants deal with day to day. Unlike happiness, sadness, or anger, fear clings to the soul, nestling in the mind’s memory chamber, wrapping itself around your every thought, squeezing, reminding us: the unpredictable exists. Reminding us, comfort is a state of mind, breakable in all of it’s glory, inferior to terror.
But what is so perplexing about fear, is mankind’s hunger for the sensation. We crave fear. We chew on fear, swallow, and regurgitate, all the while terrified of what newest incarnation might erupt from our inner core. And this is why we as humans, not just American’s, or the “mentally disturbed”, or the socially outcast, carry a deep love for horror films and literature.
We want to be scared. But make no mistake, we also want to know that when the lights go down, Boris Karloff won’t slink through our windows, wrapped in cloth, arms outstretched. We want to know that Bela Lugosi won’t be breathing down our necks, battling an insatiable thirst for blood. We want fear, but we want comfort as a close companion.
