Today's Challenge: Hoodwinked Too! opened this weekend, and it's the second movie this year to feature fairytale character Little Red Riding Hood. Can you find a movie link to connect Hoodwinked's Hayden Panettiere to Red Riding Hood's Amanda Seyfried?
Our first Facebook movie game, ClusterFlick, plays off that old "six degrees of separation" theory — you know, the one that has a certain Kevin at the center of the Hollywood universe. It's easy to play, but not so easy to win. The goal is to use the major cast of movies to get from Point A to Point B in the smallest number of moves.

In Scream 4, fans aren't just getting the surviving cast members of the original trilogy — Neve Campbell, Courteny Cox, and David Arquette — but a whole new cast of newcomers headlined by Hayden Panettiere and Emma Roberts. While attending the red carpet premiere of the highly-anticipated sequel, Panettiere admitted to The LA Times that there was a little pressure in entering a franchise that began in 1996.
You do have to have a respect for the fact that it's something that's so established, that it's a family that's been created over the past 15 years. But [the old cast] were so nice and so welcoming and so cool about it that you didn't really feel that "Oh my God, don't mess up, you gotta come in with your stuff together."
Roberts, meanwhile, told The Huffington Post that bringing in a cast of younger actors for Scream 4 was a "smart idea" for the franchise.
Especially such great people like Hayden Panettiere and Rory Culkin. And all the young people are really great choices for the roles, like people that I would have imagined in the part while I was reading the script. That's gonna help bring in a younger audience. Also technology has changed so much since the original Scream. There's so much more ways to talk to people and stalk people. I think that's definitely incorporated in this new Scream.
Campbell, Cox, and Arquette were thrilled to come back and work together alongside much of the same crew as the original trilogy. The three actors, along with franchise director Wes Craven discussed what it was like to return in a behind the scenes video from Yahoo!.

Scream fans were thrilled to learn that director Wes Craven and franchise creator and Scream and Scream 2 screenwriter Kevin Williamson were coming back to direct and pen the fourth installment, Scream 4. Imagine the disappointment when, last July, amidst the sequel's production in Michigan, rumors of script troubles surfaced, claiming that Williamson had left and Scream 3 screenwriter Ehren Kruger had taken over rewriting the script.
Craven's response at the time was to tweet that he had "not been given control of the script," a message he recently reiterated, claiming that the script was "ultimately controlled by what the studio wants" and admitted there was a "bumpy period when things shifted over from Kevin to Ehren."
Speaking with Zap2It, Scream 4 newcomers Hayden Panettiere and Emma Roberts spoke about the script changes, which seemingly caused little friction.

The first full-length trailer for Scream 4 was the last footage released for director Wes Craven's latest installment in the Scream franchise.
Since then, Craven has been shooting additional footage, leaving fans to feast on photos and a posters while waiting for new footage from the highly anticipated sequel.
Finally, three new clips have arrived for Scream 4, which, while they lack any sign of Ghostface, show franchise stars Neve Campbell, Courteny Cox, and David Arquette interacting with the "fresh meat" of new cast members.

Scream 4 is currently shooting in Michigan, where the movie is reportedly experiencing script issues. According to Zap2It, script changes are frustrating the cast, particularly Hayden Panettiere, who is "beyond frustrated with the changes" since her formerly "really sharp" role has been "dumbed down significantly." Lauren Graham, once attached to the movie, left after her role was reduced to almost nothing.
Accusing eyes would normally target Scream co-creator and Scream 4 screenwriter Kevin Williamson, however, the report indicates that Williamson has left the project, and Ehren Kruger, screenwriter for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is currently in charge of the script. Now the frustration makes sense.
Cast trouble, script trouble, bloody trouble for Wes Craven? >> Posted 07.03.10 by Ryan -
Neve Campbell, Courtney Cox Arquette, and David Arquette are getting some company for the next installment of the Scream franchise. Variety reports that Hayden Panettiere, Rory Culkin, and Emma Roberts have all signed on for Scream 4.
Director Wes Craven and screenwriter Kevin Williamson are also returning for the sequel, which is the first in new trilogy of Scream movies. Scream 4 will follow Campbell's cousin, Jill (Roberts), who will be the heroine of the movie. Panettiere will play her nerdy, movie geek friend, while Culkin will play a possible love interest.
THR recently reported that Lake Bell (It's Complicated) is also in talks to play a police officer who attended high school with Campbell. Casting is moving slowly on the project, as the movie's story is being kept so secret that potential actors have to decide if they will appear in the movie without seeing a script. We'll go out on a limb, though, and guess that the movie might follow a masked killer tormenting young victims via their cell phones.

The "divorce" between Michael Bay and Megan Fox went very quickly, with Paramount declining Fox's option for Transformers 3, even after Fox was spotted doing some preliminary work of the upcoming sequel a couple weeks ago. Fox's representatives told People that "it was [Fox's] decision not to return" and not the advisement from Bay that sent Fox packing.
Either way, with Fox moving on, it looks like Gemma Arterton (Clash of the Titans and the upcoming Prince of Persia) could be a contender to replace Fox. Arterton won't be alone, however.
