At the moment we should put this down as a big fat rumour, but Star Magazine is reporting that insiders have told them Jennifer Aniston may pop up in Scream 4. As you might suspect, Jen’s participation would be partly due to friend and ex-co-star Courtney Cox, with an unidentified source saying, “Scream has always been an important part of Courteney Cox’s life, and she wanted Jennifer to be a part of the production.”
So what part will she be playing? (POTENTIAL SPOLER ALERT) Well if she does join up, it won’t be a big Jennifer/Coutrney love-fest for the entire running time, but would fit well into the Scream mythology, with Jennifer as a “A woman who’s killed off in the opening sequence, a trademark of the franchise – as a favor to BFF and Scream actress Courteney Cox. The role will be similar to Drew Barrymore’s killer part in the first film.”
Like we said, it’s a bit fat rumour and Bloody Disgusting is already reporting that Dimension Films (which is behind Scream 4) says it isn’t true. But then they would, wouldn’t they, to keep it a surprise?
