"Scream 4" didn't slay the box office like many onlookers thought it would, but that hasn't stopped some of the people involved with the series from thinking about more sequels. Wes Craven has already told us that he has plans for a new "Scream" trilogy, and longtime series producer Harvey Weinstein has confidence in the franchise's future as well.
But what about the stars? We sat down with the cast of "The Art of Getting By" last night in Los Angeles as part of MTV Sneak Peek Week, and made sure to ask "Scream" star Emma Roberts for her take on a possible fifth installment. We got some good stuff, but needless to say — some MAJOR SPOILERS lie ahead.
Okay, still with us? Good, because we're officially in the spoiler zone. If you've seen "Scream 4" (or if you don't care about getting spoiled) then you already know that Roberts, who played Sidney Prescott's cousin Jill, was the psychotic mastermind behind the latest Woodsboro killing spree. And she almost got away with it, too, if it weren't for those pesky used-to-be-kids Dewey, Gale and Sid. The "Scream" veterans banded together and put an end to Jill's reign of terror with a well-placed bullet, but as the late Randy Meeks once wisely said, killers always come back for one last scare — so are Roberts' days with "Scream" at an end?
"I don't know," she said. "I haven't heard anything solid, but you never know."
"That was a really fun role to get to play, a psychopath," she added with a laugh. "But it was one of those things where we were like, 'Let's get through this one alive and then think about the next one.'"
Interestingly enough, when MTV's Josh Horowitz assured her that at least she "got through it," Roberts replied, "Barely!"
Barely? Looked to us that there wasn't any "barely" about it, but maybe there's some hope for Jill Roberts after all.
