EMILY MORTIMER joins the SCREAM 3 ensemble as
Angelina Tyler, a wide-eyed ingenue who was picked
from thousands of hopefuls to portray Sidney
Prescott (Neve

after original star Tori
Spelling refused to reprise her role.
Mortimer most recently played the "perfect girl"
unable to seduce Hugh Grant in the Julia

Blanchett and Joseph Fiennes. She also starred in
Miramax Films' "The Last of the High Kings" and with
Val Kilmer in two films for Paramount Pictures: as
his wife in "The Ghost and the Darkness" and "The
Saint."
Mortimer's upcoming feature film roles include that
of Alicia Silverstone's seductive handmaiden
in Kenneth Branagh's version of William
Shakespeare's "Love's Labour's Lost," with Branagh,
Matthew Lillard
and Alessandro Nivola and Bruce Willis'
wife in "The Kid."
Her television credits include starring roles
in three major productions: Catherine Cookson's
"The Glass Virgins," the Ruth Rendell thriller
"Heartstones" and the costume drama "Sharpe's
Sword." She also appeared in the BBC series "Silent
Witness" and in the Hat Trick production of "Lord
of Misrule." Recently, she was seen in the series
"A Dance to the Music of Time" and with Peter

she majored in Russian and English. She also
studied at the Moscow Arts Theatre School.
