A tape that she didnt even know was being considered forScream VI.
Heres how she put it:
I didn’t even know I was auditioning forScream VI.
I had no idea.

[Laughs] I didnt know anything.
The project reveal – and also more confusion.
And I was like, When did I audition forScream VI?
Image via Paramount
[Laughs] And they were like, Oh, that audition you sent in.
And I was like, Oh, okay!
What does this mean?
And they’re like, No, everybody’s reading as this character, along with your original sides.
Luckily they were accommodating.
I just don’t look like a mean person or an evil person.

And so I was like, Oh my gosh, fun!
I get to exercise this it’s just gonna be really cool.
I was a huge fan ofScream 5.

How can I play and make this unique, and so that was really fun.
And they were lovely!
They didn’t have any notes for me.
And I was like, Alright!
Sure enough, Liberatos gut was right.
I got the first two acts of the movie, and my character dies in it.
Those are the goals.
And I was like, Dang, I don’t really get any of that.
That’s a bummer.
But I was like, That doesnt matter.
I’m just so excited to be a part of it and be in it.
I can’t imagine what my face looked like.
I was like, What?
What do you mean?
Theyre like, Yeah, you’re not dead.
And I got to try it on.
It was so cool.
So thats one big piece of the puzzle right there, but what about her characters motive?
Turns out, that remained a mystery for Liberato until she was on set for filming.
What’s happening here?
How do I die?
Why do I want to kill everybody?
And then Matt and Tyler explained everything to me, which was so fun.
And it was cool!
It was a really big goal of mine to not come across too crazy in the reveal.
Liberato also recalled a particular line that Mulroney improvised during filming that became a personal favorite.
[Laughs] But it’s such a good line!
So theres Wayne and his two children, Quinn and Ethan, but what about Mrs. Bailey?
Do they have a mother and is she in the picture?
You wont believe the twisted Mrs. Bailey concept that wound up getting cut from the film.
Liberato revealed:
“There was talk of mom that didn’t make it in the film.
[Laughs] And that was cut!
That line always made me giggle while we were filming because I was like, That’s insane.
I can’t believe we killed our mother.
And he was like, Oh Nicole, so tall, so beautiful.
Hed just riff off these crazy lines.
Mom did not make it to the party.
If Quinn had succeeded and survived, would she just have returned to normal everyday life from there?
So I would say that maybe shed give a shot to get out of it.
But also as an actor, of course, my brain’s going all over the place.
There’s some craziness in her and there’s a really impressive sense of drive in her as well.
She could be looking for the rest of her life for ways to avenge her family.
So yeah, I think it could go either way.
Looking for even more on LiberatosScream VIexperience and her journey in Hollywood thus far?
