Our Interview With Nico Tortorella From Scream 4
Actor Nico Tortorella was kind enough to lend us some of his time this past Friday. We had a great conversation about Scream 4. Thank you to Nico and also to Page and Craig for setting up the interview. Don’t forget the film comes out on April 15!

Before the Trailer: My first question for you, and I’m sure youve gotten this a million times, is how did you get involved with the production of “Scream 4”?
Nico Tortorella: I knew that the audition was coming out for the fourth project and I actually had never seen the first three “Scream” movies until after I had auditioned, which is funny [because] the audition scene for the fourth was the Billy Loomis scene at the end of the first movie when he goes on his killing rampage. So I had pretty much no idea what was going on. So I went in and had my whole own interpretation of the scene, which I guess worked out in a way, and I auditioned five times after that and got the job basically months later. And just walked into this family that was already established and they just welcomed us with wide open arms and were ready just to get to work on the next installment.

Additional photos of Nico, Emma, Rory and Hayden on the set of “Scream 4” on July 20 have been added thanks to Truth or dare 13 on Photobucket and Joe for the heads up.

In unrelated news, the long-awaited “Twelve” premiere has apparently been set for next Wednesday (July 28) in New York City, according to Market Watch. Emma Roberts and Rory Culkin are probably attending, being two of the leads, hopefully Nico will too.

If you are following us on Twitter you probably already know about these things, but for those of you who don’t here’s our weekly “Scream 4” round-up post:

On Wednesday June 30 Lauren Graham confirmed on “The Tonight Show” that she was no longer part of the project due to a scheduling conflict, which likely refers to her NBC series “Parenthood”. On the same day, Salon Vox (that previously played hairdresser to Nico) posted on their Facebook account that actress Marley Shelton visited their Ann Arbor salon in preparation for the movie. On July 1, Heat Vision Blog broke the news that Shelton was joining the cast (taking the role previously dropped by Lake Bell), together with “The O.C.” star Adam Brody (playing a cop who recently graduated from college) and Erik Knudsen (as a character who is familiar with horror movie conventions). On the same day, The Wrap exclusively reported that Alison Brie and Mary McDonnell were added to the cast. While it’s unclear who McDonnell will be playing, Brie will play Sidney’s ambitious personal assistant.

If you are following us on Twitter you probably already know about most of these things, but for those of you who don’t I’m writing a round-up post to fill you in on all the latest on Nico and “Scream 4”, including all the major events from this past weekend up until the first day of filming yesterday.

The weekend started off on a bad note when Lake Bell confirmed via her Twitter account that due to scheduling conflicts she has to back out and will no longer play Deputy Judy Hicks in the fourth “Scream” movie. No word yet on who will ultimately get the role.

In the evening of Friday (June 25) Nico and co-star Hayden Panettiere visited Salon Vox in Ann Arbor, most probably to get their hair cut for the movie. Nico worked with stylist Justin A. Nichols and “Scream 4” hairstylist Joy Zapata.

On Saturday June 26, filming officially began for Neve Campbell and Access Hollywood’s Nancy O’Dell (appearing as a host in a cameo role). Nancy posted some lovely photos from the set on her TwitPic account.

Over the weekend blogs went literally crazy reporting possible locations for the movie: On Location Vacation and Before The Trailer reported that they are occupying several building in Varsity Drive in Ann Arbor (probably a base camp/studio – with a production office located on 4401 Varsity Road, Suite D). Trailers and crew signs were spotted yesterday at St. Francis Church/School on Stadium/St. Francis street. Filming will take place at the middle school in Dearborn (4951 Ternes Street) from June 29 through the 2nd, then again on the 6th and 9th from 5am til 10pm. For more information and last-minute heads up make sure you are following Before The Trailer and Scream-Trilogy.net on Twitter.

A couple of fan photos and videos from yesterday (Monday June 28) leaked online. You can see Hayden Panettiere and Emma Roberts filming a car scene, follow this link. If you live in Michigan and are interested in “visiting” the set, follow the “Z Project” signs, a codename for the movie.

Make sure you are following Nico-Tortorella.com on Twitter for all the latest. I don’t feel like posting too much on here when it’s not directly related to Nico, so I’ll just write a post like this from time to time to summarize what’s happening in Ann Arbor.

Thanks to Marielle Jaffe’s official Facebook page we have the schedule for the first week of preparation for “Scream 4” in Ann Arbor:

Just got to Ann Arbor, Michigan! Wardrobe fitting tomorrow, makeup test tomorrow, one on one with Wes Craven Thursday, Table Read Friday, KICK OFF PARTY SATURDAY, and FIRST DAY OF FILMING ON MONDAY!!! This is going to be the best 3 months of my life!

News on the “Twelve” front are unfortunately not as good. The premiere planned for Monday in New York didn’t happen but there is a screening this Saturday (June 26) in Los Angeles followed by a Q&A with director Joel Schumacher and some special guests (as part of a three-day Schumacher retrospective). Nico, Emma Roberts and Rory Culkin are most probably not attending, being in Michigan.
