While on the black carpet of the New York City premiere of “Twelve”, MTV News chatted with Nico and Rory Culking about their roles in “Scream 4″, and working with the trilogy’s original cast.

While Culkin decided to keep mum, his “Twelve” and “Scream 4″ co-star [Nico] dished a bit more, revealing that he and Roberts may get busy. “My name is Trevor, and Emma and I have a love interest throughout the whole movie, and I can’t really give you too much more,” Tortorella said, adding that being on-set with some of the original cast is very exciting. “I can’t give you any information past that.”
“Yeah, Courteney’s there, Neve’s there, David’s there. You know, it’s really like walking into a family, and they’re just all accepting us with mad open arms,” he explained. “They’re all incredible people. It’s been quite the trip. I had never seen the originals until after I auditioned for the first time. … After watching them all, yeah, it’s one of its own.”

If you are following us on Twitter you probably already know about these things, but for those of you who don’t here’s our weekly “Scream 4″ round-up post:

On Wednesday June 30 Lauren Graham confirmed on “The Tonight Show” that she was no longer part of the project due to a scheduling conflict, which likely refers to her NBC series “Parenthood”. On the same day, Salon Vox (that previously played hairdresser to Nico) posted on their Facebook account that actress Marley Shelton visited their Ann Arbor salon in preparation for the movie. On July 1, Heat Vision Blog broke the news that Shelton was joining the cast (taking the role previously dropped by Lake Bell), together with “The O.C.” star Adam Brody (playing a cop who recently graduated from college) and Erik Knudsen (as a character who is familiar with horror movie conventions). On the same day, The Wrap exclusively reported that Alison Brie and Mary McDonnell were added to the cast. While it’s unclear who McDonnell will be playing, Brie will play Sidney’s ambitious personal assistant.

Thanks to Marielle Jaffe’s official Facebook page we have the schedule for the first week of preparation for “Scream 4″ in Ann Arbor:

Just got to Ann Arbor, Michigan! Wardrobe fitting tomorrow, makeup test tomorrow, one on one with Wes Craven Thursday, Table Read Friday, KICK OFF PARTY SATURDAY, and FIRST DAY OF FILMING ON MONDAY!!! This is going to be the best 3 months of my life!

This was posted about 7 hours ago (Tuesday evening).

News on the “Twelve” front are unfortunately not as good. The premiere planned for Monday in New York didn’t happen but there is a screening this Saturday (June 26) in Los Angeles followed by a Q&A with director Joel Schumacher and some special guests (as part of a three-day Schumacher retrospective). Nico, Emma Roberts and Rory Culkin are most probably not attending, being in Michigan.

Great news today, dear visitors! Nico just got cast, apparently as one of the leads, in the new “Scream 4″ movie currently in pre-production.

Unfortunately we don’t have an official confirmation on the character Nico will play (see below), but we have some information about the movie to keep us going until more details leak:

The “Scream 4″ script was written by Kevin Williamson (who also penned  the other 3 “Scream” movies and tv hit “The Vampire Diaries”), and will be directed by Wes Craven (the visionaire behind the “Scream” trilogy and another gazilion of horror movies), it will be produced by The Weinstein Company and distributed by Dimension Films.

Already confirmed among the cast are Courteney Cox, David Arquette and Neve Campbell (reprising their roles from the original “Scream” trilogy and serving as an integration to the new kids’ storyline), Emma Roberts and Rory Culkin (both already worked with Nico in the upcoming “Twelve”, playing  Jill Kesslar and Charlie Walker respectively); Hayden Panettiere (set to play Kirby Reed) and Lake Bell (as Deputy Judy Hicks) have also been confirmed.

My guess, based on the casting calls released, is that Nico will play a character named Trevor Sheldon, described as: “Handsome high school jock, but quiet and intense, as though a secret hangs over his head”. All the remaining uncasted characters are either females or men in their 30-40s, you do the math. This is just my guess, and it hasn’t been confirmed.

Principal photography is set to begin in and around Ann Arbor (Michigan) on June 28 and the movie is scheduled for an April 15, 2011 release.

The plot synopsis, according to IMDb:

Ten years have passed, and Sidney Prescott, who has put herself back together thanks in part to her writing, is visited by the Ghostface Killer

Not much, I know. Hopefully we will know more soon. In the meantime, make sure you subscribe to the newsletter on the movie’s official site, follow it on Twitter, and become a fan on Facebook.

And last, but definitely not least, Nico’s reaction to the casting news (follow him on Twitter: @Nico_Tortorella):

Huge news today!!!! Just officially got cast in scream 4!!!! Today is always the best day of my life

According to Box Office Mojo Nico’s debut movie “Twelve” has been pushed back from July 2 to Friday July 30, 2010. Other sources (including People.com) claim that it opens on July 12. Hannover House (the distribution company) official site hasn’t been updated and is still listing it for July 2.

In “Twelve” related news, a better quality version of the trailer posted a few days ago has been added to our video archive earlier today.

Also, expect a review of Nico’s character Tobias, based on both the book and the movie script, to be up later this week.

Edit: The move has been confirmed by Yahoo Finance, that also mentions a press day (aka. a premiere) in New York City on June 21 in support of the upcoming release. Here’s hope that Nico will attend.

Awwww… Nico just posted a lovely photo on his Twitter account together with a message in italian dedicated to his mother.

And the lovely message:

@Nico_Tortorella
Felice festa della mamma.  Tu sei una stella, la mia stella.  Ti voglio bene mamma.

That translated from Italian means: Happy Mother’s Day. You are a star, my star. I love you mum.
