Fast-talking “Gilmore Girl” Lauren Graham confirmed rumors that she will be joining the cast of Wes Craven’s eagerly-anticipated sequel Scream 4 during an appearance earlier this week on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.

Graham will play the part of Kate Kessler, mother to Sidney Prescott’s (Neve Campbell) cousin Jill Kessler (Emma Roberts). Though she joked about being film’s killer, the tall (she’s 5’9″) 43-year-old stunner didn’t reveal much else … other than some seriously hot legs.

Take a look (at the 1:50 mark):

Scream 4 is the start of a new trilogy that aims to frighten audiences while poking fun at modern day horror cliches much like the original did in 1996. Screenwriter Kevin Williamson (“The Vampire Diaries”) told the NY Post last year that he planned to reference J-Horror, PG-13 thrillers, vampire flicks, manga comics, and, most promising, torture-porn.

Scream 4 costars Hayden Panettiere, Rory Culkin, and old-school players Courteney Cox and David Araquette.

The film begins production on June 28 in Michigan and is expected to hit theaters on April 15, 2011.
