Adam Brody joins, Graham exits “Scream 4”

Adam Brody is the latest addition to the cast of Scream 4, says The Hollywood Reporter.

The former OC actor will play a cop and recent college graduate who is a big fan of crime procedural show CSI.

Marley Shelton (Sin City) has also joined, replacing Lake Bell as the deputy sheriff who knew Neve Campbell’s Sidney Prescott in high school. Erik Knudsen is on board as a comic relief character familiar with the formula of horror movies.

Sources for Ghouls On Film, meanwhile, are reporting that Lauren Graham has been forced to leave the movie due to “date conflict and script changes”.

Emma Roberts, Hayden Panettiere and Rory Culkin are among the cast of newcomers joining returning franchise stars Campbell, David Arquette and Courteney Cox.
