Shenae Grimes And Lucy Hale Join Scream 4; Script Is 140 Pages?

Now Shenae Grimes (90210) and Lucy Hale (Pretty Little Liars) have been confirmed as being part of the film. And, if reports are true, the size of the case is not a huge surprise because the Scream 4 script is said to be a monster, clocking in at 140 pages. That’s a lot of cheeky horror to shoot.

STYD collated info about Grimes and Hale appearing in the film; Grimes said via Twitter that she is appearing, and Hale has been spotted working on set.

Now, there’s no guarantee, or even a realistic reason to believe, that the final film is going to run that long. But the Scream films aren’t your typical svelte horror pictures; the shortest (Scream) runs 111 minutes, while the longest (Scream 2) is 120. I’ll take this opportunity to plead for something much shorter this time around; a Scream film that runs well over two hours sounds, at this point, like over-indulgence.

THR also says that the 42-day shoot (not terribly long for a big film) was originally scheduled to end on Labor Day weekend, but has now been extended to September 24. So tack on about fifteen extra shooting days, which is a considerable addition if the original schedule was only 42 days.
