In an interview with Vulture Magazine, Alison Brie—known for her standout roles in Mad Men and Community—gave fans a glimpse into her character Rebecca Walters in Scream 4 and shared her personal love for the original Scream. Brie described Rebecca as “a little go-getter” with a sharp edge, hinting at her character’s ambitious and perhaps slightly ruthless nature.

“I mostly work with Neve Campbell. My character works for her, and she’s a little go-getter, sort of like Annie [from Community] in eight years but bitchier. She’s sort of a hybrid of Annie and Trudy [from Mad Men].”

A Scream Fan from the Start

Brie revealed her deep connection to the Scream franchise, tracing her admiration back to her teenage years:

“I was really into the Scream movies as a teenager, and I remember they shot some of the second one in my hometown, South Pasadena. I’d drive by and see them shooting late at night, and my friends and I thought it was so cool. It’s really come full circle. I was obsessed! I own Scream the original on videotape, and my friends and I made a parody called Yell. I could probably recite 90 percent of the lines. I didn’t tell them this, of course.”

Talk about dedication! Brie’s Scream fandom runs deep, and her journey from fan to cast member feels like the ultimate full-circle moment.

Where’s Yell?
