Scream 4: The Scream series is known for killing off beautiful young starlets, so the the fourth installment should make no exceptions.

The film will premiere on April 15, 2011.

Fox’s actioner will hit theaters on June 3, 2011.

Paranormal Activity: Although a sequel has already been planned for 2007’s Paranormal Activity, it’s still not clear if the story will somehow involve the original’s two characters. “I don’t know. I’m waiting to hear,” actress Katie Featherston recently said about the Michael R. Perry-penned script. “If they had a way to put me in there in a way that would be reasonable and make sense — I don’t know how they’d do that — I’d definitely be down for it. If I get that phone call, I will be there. I will be scared or happy or whatever they want me to be.” Hopefully someone gets that call soon. The movie is already scheduled to open on October 22 of this year.
