The New York Post’s blog Pop Wrap recently interview Nico:

Five Questions with ‘Scream 4’ star Nico Tortorella
In the final interview of “Scream” Week on PopWrap, we sit down with Nico Tortorella, who plays Trevor: the fourquel’s resident bad boy(friend) character. And given the endless Billy Loomis DNA he shares, you’re forgiven for already adding him to the suspect list. But just how closely should you be keeping an eye on Trevor? I got Nico to break it down for you!

PopWrap: Were you a fan of the originals?
Nico Tortorella: I knew of the “Scream” movies, but I hadnt seen any of them until about three-quarters of the way through my audition process. I knew the “Scary Movie” spoofs really well and was a big fan of those — it’s funny because they make a lot more sense now having seen the actual “Scream” movies [laughs].

PW: The audition process is notably quite secretive — is that a strange experience?
Nico: It was, since we didn’t even know who were were auditioning to play or where anything was headed. Everyone read the last scene from the first movie, where Billy Loomis goes nuts and starts killing everybody. And I hadnt seen that movie, so I had my whole own interpretation of what was going on, which apparently worked in my favor because here I am.

PW: What’s your opinion of Trevor?
Nico: I think the most important thing is that on a grand scale, hes definitely an asshole, but on a one-on-one level he has a heart and wants to make the people he loves happy in any way that he can.

PW: Since your character carries a lot of red herrings being the boyfriend and Billy Loomis-esque, does that make you throw in a couple more creepy glances?
Nico: If this character was a nice guy to everybody then I feel those little glances wouldnt be necessary. But because who he is and the relationships he has, being not the nicest guy just comes naturally given his energy.

PW: Does knowing that people will assume these things alter your performance at all?
Nico: Somewhat. I try not to think about the ending when Im filming the beginning, if you know what I mean. You just have to think about how this guy would have this conversation without knowing anything thats to come. But I get the parallels 100 percent — they’re there throughout the whole movie. But people will have to wait and see if its true
