I love the Scream series from Wes Craven – even the last two (I thought four had a heck of a lot of potential and fumbled the ball in the last act but otherwise was very solid) – and one of my favourite scenes in the series, in fact maybe ever, is the death of Drew Barrymore’s Casey at the opening of the original movie. It’s funny, terrifying and beautifully executed – pun intended – and, as such, should never be touched.
So you can imagine why this story really grabbed my attention.
The Scream TV series from MTV has cast actress Bella Thorne (above). Nothing unusual there, but she has confirmed that she will be re-enacting the famous opening scene.
What?
But we’d heard that the series was going to be unrelated to the movies? Which makes us wonder if, like in the later movies, we’ll see the scene being re-enacted onscreen within the series, perhaps?
Thorne doesn’t really clear anything up: “yes, it is true. I will re-enact the famous scene of Drew Barrymore in the original series,” she confirms. But gives nothing further.
Scream will probably appear at some point in 2015.

He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
