Warning: This post contains spoilers forScream 4.
Aubrey Plazaalmost donned the Ghostface mask for an appearance in theScreamfranchise.
“I just remember one of the earlier auditions I had was for [late director]Wes Cravenfor theScreamremake or something?” she recalled. “They told me, ‘You’re going in to audition to play a character that you eventually find out is the killer’ or whatever. So, I took that really literally, and I was thinking, ‘Alright, I’m gonna dress like the killer.’
“And I went in, and I looked terrible. I was really frumpy … because I thought, I’m a murderer. And then everybody else was glamorous and they all looked great, and I just looked insane. And they were like, ‘The whole point is that we’re not supposed to know that you were the killer. You pretty much just look like a murderer right away.’ Anyway, I blew that one. Didn’t make it very far.
“I went full method, and it was a really bad idea,” Plaza added.

If Plaza had starred in the movie (which premiered in the early years of herParks and Recreationrun), she would have had to take a stab or two at her good palAlison Brie, who appeared inScream 4as doomed book publicist Rebecca Walters.
They later starred together inJoshy(2016),The Little Hours(2017),Horse Girl(2020),Happiest Season(2020) andSpin Me Round(2022).

Stewart, 32, toldSlantmagazine in March that she was contacted to do a nod to that role, but they ultimately “created a whole sequence where a lot of people got killed to emulate the Drew thing.”
“But it was just going to be one person, and I was like, ‘I can’t do a Drew. I can’t touch that,'” Stewart continued. “Do you know what I mean? But, yeah, so then they ended up doing, if I’m remembering correctly, a larger sequence and not just one victim.”
After theScreamfranchise’sfifth installmentpremiered in January,Scream 6recently completed filming and is expected to premiere March 31, 2023.
