Wes Craven praises young additions to ‘Scream 4’

‘(Anna Paquin and Kristen Bell) do have a very significant and exciting role in the film,’ director reveals. By Kara Warner Wes Craven Photo: Getty Images Wes Craven fans have a lot to be excited about these days, as the beloved writer/director has not one, but two highly anticipated projects on his plate, the first of which is a horror/thriller due October 8. The second project is “Scream 4.” the long-awaited fourth chapter in Craven and screenwriter Kevin Williamson’s hugely popular franchise, which not only reunites the original cast (David Arquette, Neve Campbell and Courteney Cox), but includes a slew of popular young stars, including Emma Roberts, Hayden Panettiere, Anna Paquin, Kristen Bell, Rory Culkin, Shenae Grimes and Lucy Hale. When we caught up with Craven to discuss “My Soul to Take,” we couldn’t help but prod the man in charge for some “Scream 4” scoop, beginning with how he managed to assemble his original stars. “Well, I could take credit for it, but it wouldn’t be accurate,” he said. By the time Craven was asked to direct, Dimension studio head Bob Weinstein had already secured Cox, Arquette and Campbell. “It was just a matter of me saying, ‘Sure,’ ” Craven added. For the director, the allure of rejoining the team to work on a good script was icing on the cake. “I think all of us wanted to do something written by Kevin [Williamson] and to work together again,” he said. “We all had such wonderful times on the first three. It has been a return to a great deal of fun — just the pleasure of working together again. We know each other inside and out. There’s a lot of shorthand and a lot of fun memories from our past escapades.” Regarding the new additions to the franchise, Craven was full of praise for his young stars. “The young cast is amazing,” he said. “They’re extremely bright and a very varied cast. … They’re just great to work with. It’s fun to be doing that combination of the sort of classic actors of the first three and this new group of kids. [They] have very different and fresh personalities and great acting talent.” And what about the plot? How does it fit within the franchise, and how does it differ? “It’s a clear and/or pretty well-known [fact] that it’s a return to Woodsboro for Sydney Prescott, who is Neve’s character,” Craven said. “Courtney and David have, as they did in real life, have gotten married and are living in Woodsboro, so it’s the story of Sid’s return to Woodsboro and the series of events that take place there where those three are thrown together in a wild and crazy way, and then a group of kids that get meshed in the plot.” Speaking of that group of kids, Craven went on to say that managing the appearances of all his young stars — most of whom are speculated to be making quick cameos — has been a pleasure rather than a headache. “Well, that’s the great joy — it’s fun,” he said. “A lot of these actors I didn’t know that well or have not worked with most of them, or any of them, as a matter of fact,” Craven explained. “They always say, ‘It’s great working with you. I’ve wanted to work with you for a long time,’ but it’s wonderful working with actors like this that are very young and have a large following already because of their talent, and just to spend one or two days with them to do these kind of set/bit pieces is a lot of fun.” With regard to those one- or two-day roles, we tried to get Craven to reveal a few specifics about two recently announced “guests” in particular: Anna Paquin and Kristen Bell. “I don’t know what I’m allowed to say,” he laughed. “They do have a very significant and exciting role in the film, let me put it that way.” What do you think of the star-studded “Scream 4” cast?

Jessica Alba, Michelle Rodriguez Reveal Secrets Of ‘Machete’ Nude Scenes

Stars of Robert Rodriguez’s new flick discuss their bodies — real or created? By Kara Warner Jessica Alba at the “Machete” premiere Photo: Kevin Winter/ Getty Images Robert Rodriguez’s fake-trailer-inspired Mexploitation flick “Machete” has a lot going for it. Not only is it an action-packed, bloody romp, but it features kick-ass weapon-wielding stylings from leading ladies who also flash a bit of skin. Thanks to Rodriguez’s earlier explanation regarding his tricks to effective — not offensive — onscreen nudity , we know that not everyone is as naked as they seem. However, when we caught up with the film’s ladies in question, Jessica Alba and Michelle Rodriguez, it became apparent that there are a few more nude-themed questions to be answered. Namely, who was in charge of Michelle’s rockin’ bod, and which guy creates the post-production nipples? “I want to know: Who sculpted that body?” Alba asked Rodriguez as they gazed at a “Machete” poster featuring the very toned leather-clad actress. “Because the whole time I’m watching you, I’m drooling. ‘She doesn’t have any cellulite, not an ounce of fat! What is going on?'” Rodriguez responded with a hearty laugh. “That was [from] ‘Battle Los Angeles,'” she explained. “I was in boot camp before that. I had three weeks of intensive Marine warfare training.” “You looked insane,” Alba said. We then reminded the actress that it’s obvious from her shower scene in the film that she’s in just as good of shape. “Oh no, no, no,” she insisted. “I had undies on, and I had other stuff on, and they just sort of etched it out in post [production]. That’s not really me. I’m better covered up.” “I want to meet these guys who work in special effects and they are basically in charge of adding nipples,” Rodriguez added. “No, no — there were no nipples, though!” Alba responded regarding her apparently post-production-enhanced shower. “There weren’t?” Rodriguez asked, looking genuinely surprised. “I tried not to look because I thought that was a private moment that I shouldn’t be watching.” “No, there was no nipple!” Alba insisted. “No, no, no, no nipple.” “Well, I want to meet these [special-effects] guys though because they basically create what’s not there,” Rodriguez continued. “It’s pretty bugged out.” Check out everything we’ve got on “Machete.” For breaking news, celebrity columns, humor and more — updated around the clock — visit MTVMoviesBlog.com .
