Aubrey Plaza Talks Botched 'Scream' Audition & Reveals Where She Went Wrong

Aubrey Plaza was in the running to be part of a Spooky Season classic, but she said that she botched the audition.

The 38-year-old Parks and Recreation alum revealed that she auditioned for a role in the Scream franchise years ago but that things didn’t go according to plan.

She spilled some tea about how she realized that going “full method” wasn’t the right choice during an interview with Hit Radio.

“They had told me, you’re going into an audition to play a character that you eventually find out is the killer,” Aubrey explained. “So I took that really literally and I kind of was thinking, alright, I’m gonna dress like the killer. I went in and I looked terrible, I was like really frumpy and my hair… ‘cause I thought, like, I’m a murderer!”

Unfortunately, her plan didn’t work out very well. “[The producers] were like, the whole point was that we’re not supposed to know that you were the killer, you pretty much just look like a murderer right away,” she said. “Anyway, I blew that one. Didn’t make it very far.”

It’s not immediately clear which Scream movie Aubrey was talking about or who the role ultimately went to.

In case you missed it, Aubrey recently spoke about working with Robert De Niro.
