Dimension Films has confirmed that Oscar-winner (the first for the franchise!) Anna Paquin and Kristen Bell have joined the rather large cast of Scream 4. Given this announcement along with what is known about the script and the timeline of the production, all points lead to the two being the "opening death cameo". In what was revealed of the screenplay, there are two female characters named Patty and Marnie in the script's opening pages. The only problem might be that these were supposed to be high school age. While Bell and Paquin aren't quite grandmothers, they won't exactly fit in the age range of fellow cast members Emma Roberts and Hayden Panettiere. Maybe they changed them to grad students. Either way...
This has me very very very pleased.
Bell previously appeared in Dimension's awful Pulse remake, and Paquin has had her fair share of genre affiliation: Dimension's awful Darkness, the wonderful Trick'r'Treat, a cameo in her brother's film Open House and of course her work on HBO's deliriously sexy vampire series True Blood.
And again, the cast they've assembled for this entry is better than I ever could have imagined. Great work guys!
