Short description
Away at college, Sidney Prescott thought she'd finally put the shocking murders that shattered her life behind her... until a copycat killer begins acting out a real-life sequel.
What's left behind the scenes
- The rules of horror movie sequels: 1) The body count is always higher. 2) The kill scenes are always more elaborate and more brutal. 3) Never, under any circumstances, assume that the killer is dead.
- Rose McGowan can be seen in the cinema crowd.
- Wes Craven had a cameo in the film; he can be seen in the background in the hospital.
- Rose McGowan can be spotted in the crowd at the movie theater.
- 'Dewey's Theme' and some other parts of the soundtrack compositions are taken from the soundtrack for the film 'Broken Arrow', written by Hans Zimmer. When the soundtrack was released on CD, it featured compositions written solely by Marco Beltrami, although some of them were not used in the film.
- In most cases, voices for phone calls are recorded not during filming, but during post-production. However, Roger L. Jackson, who played "the voice," actually spoke on a cell phone with the actors in scenes where the killer calls various characters in the film. Roger was constantly present on the set, but in a way that the actor speaking on the phone couldn’t see him.
- Gale mentions her explicit photos that appeared on the internet. A similar situation occurred with Courteney Cox in the mid-1990s.
- Kevin Williamson (the film's screenwriter) played a journalist interviewing Cotton.
- Wes Craven played a cameo role in the film: he can be seen in the background at the hospital.
- Sidney is guarded by Officer Richards and Officer Andrews—this is a reference to Kyle Richards and Brian Andrews, who played children in the movie "Halloween."
- Matthew Lillard, who played one of the main characters in 'Scream,' can be seen in the background during the college party.
- Most of the exterior scenes were filmed at Agnes Scott College in Atlanta.
- The film's script was carefully guarded: only the lead actors, the director, the screenwriter, the producers, and studio executives were allowed to read the full version. None of the actors knew who the killer was, as they didn't receive the last 10 pages. However, despite all precautions, an early version of the script still leaked online. Kevin Williamson had to urgently rewrite the film's ending and many other scenes. When filming began, the final version of the script was not yet complete.
- The final ten pages of the script were printed on gray paper to make photocopying them impossible.
- Matthew Lillard, who played one of the main characters in 'Scream', can be seen in the background during the student party.
- During the fight in the film's finale, Mickey compares Sidney to actress Linda Hamilton, whose character in "The Terminator" and "Terminator 2: Judgment Day" also had to survive and face a killer.
