If you’re one of the few who still peruses video store aisles in search of masturbation fodder hidden cinematic gems, chances are you’ve found Swedish-born actress Helena Mattsson on the box of the 2007 direct-to-DVD erotic sci-fi thriller Species IV: The Awakening.

Despite appearances on various TV shows (“Legend of the Seeker”) and a bit part in last year’s Bruce Willis sci-fi actioner Surrogates, Mattsson’s portrayal of Species’ nude and horny half-alien/half-human hybrid remains her most standout role to date. This, however, can soon change as the stunning 26-year-old makes an appearance in Marvel Pictures’ Iron Man 2 as a character named Rebecca.

OK, odds are we’ll still see her in Species V: Naked Again to Pay My Rent. But, for the time being, Mattsson is enjoying the A-list treatment. This includes attending Iron Man 2 red carpet premieres in sexy dresses that are so tight her nipples pop out (pictured above).

Enjoy!

Horror icon Wes Craven is finally talking about his upcoming reboot of the Scream franchise. The 70-year-old director/producer confirms what writer Kevin Williamson first announced at last year’s American Film Market: There will be a new Scream trilogy and original players Neve Campbell, Courtney Cox, and David Araquette will return for Scream 4.

He tells EW:

I’m fascinated by what this movie is. I can’t think of another film that has not only a true trilogy, where you’re following a single central character over three pictures, but has the complexity to the story and other characters that also have continued along. And then 10 years later, to come back to those same characters and same actors, and continue that story in a way that’s totally organic. It’s kind of unprecedented.

It’s very much about the last 10 years, and where we are right now. “New decade, new rules” is very much the keynote of the film, that is, trying to figure out what sort of rules (the new Ghostface) is following. How do we fight this killer without a road map? We have to figure out where we are.

There have been 10 years of no Ghostface, but there has been the movie-within-a-movie Stab. We have fun with the idea of endless sequels, or “sequelitis” as Kevin calls it in the script. Sid goes through these three horrendous things, and Stab was based on those horrible things. And then they’ve been taken by a studio and run into the ground in a series of sequels.

She has been off by herself and living her own life, and she’s even written a book that has gotten a lot of critical acclaim. She’s kind of put her life back together in the course of these 10 years. But, certainly, there would be no Scream without Ghostface, so she has to confront him again, but now as a woman who has really come out the darkness of her past.

Scream 4 kicks off the trilogy on April 15, 2011.
