Spoiler:

Theory 1) Gale dies! I think someone reported Courtney Cox finished filming early and this could be because of her busy schedule on Cougar Town, however, the released pics and the trailer seem to show a lot of that scene where she says "Do it if you have the guts!" to the killer. It makes me think she might not be in the film much at all and that this scene could very well be Gale's death scene. Hope not though

Spoiler:

Theory 2) Sidney or Jill (Emma Roberts) die. Sidney because it could mark the end of her reign as the Scream queen and have over the baton to Jill seein as Neve Campbell was apprehensive about doing Screams 2 and 3 as well. Or, perhaps, if Jill is just a carbon copy of Sidney (being virginal in this film) and with the new rule that virgins can now die, maybe she'll bite the dust because she simply isn't Sidney.

Spoiler:

Theory 3) Sidney or Jill is the killer! Sidney because Wes Craven claims Sidney's bene living in peace for the last decade and now has to deal with more killings. Perhaps this is a red herring and she's now as insane as everyone who tried to kill her and could relate back to that bathroom scene in the first film when the bitchy school girl said "It ******ed her up royally." So, another way for Sidney to hand over the reigns. Or, seeing as how ******ed up her family is, and because this isn't a straightforward remake of the original Scream, Jill could be the killer.

Spoiler:

Theory 4) Trevor (Nico Tortorella) is the killer, or one of the killers. Seeing as Scream 4 will parody more sequels and recent remakes you'll notice Scream 4 is a sort of remake of the first film apart from Sidney, Gale and Dewey being in it. Jill is the 'remake' Sidney, Hayden Panettiere's Kirby is the new Tatum, Rory Culkin's Charlie is the new Randy, and Trevor is the new Billy. Maybe there's another Stu out there helping Trevor re-enact Billy and Stu's murders?

The one I'm hoping for...

Spoiler:

Theory 5) Marley Shelton's character is the killer! Her character is described as "Having known Sidney during high school", and back when it was reported Lake Bell was going to play this character it was suggested she cares about her boss Dewey, "Perhaps a bit too much". If Gale does die (Theory 1) the motive for Shelton's character could be to get her out of the way in order to get to Dewey or something like that. Maybe she even kills Dewey? If she can't have him, no one can?
Also, originally Angelina was going to be the second killer in Scream 3 and her story was that she'd be Roman's girlfriend and knew Sidney from high school. However, it was decided Roman's romance with the actress playing Sidney (his own sister) in the 'Stab' movies would be a bit too weird. Maybe Kevin Williamson's recycled this abandoned idea from Scream 3?

i like your theorys but not theory 3 as the 2 of them are both seen attacked by the killed in the trailer so thats impossible
