Ten years have passed, and Sidney Prescott, who has put herself back together thanks in part to her writing, is visited by the Ghostface Killer. |
| Trivia | Although The “Scream” series was intended to be a trilogy, a fourth movie has been rumored on and off several times since the release of the third installment. The movie was officially announced in July of 2008 by The Weinsteins/Dimension in a press release, and is due for release in 2011; eleven years after Scream 3 (2000).
Share this | | In July of 2009, after years of rumors and negotiations, David Arquette and Courteney Cox signed up to reprise their roles. Neve Campbell was confirmed in September 2009. Share this | | On March 22, 2010, Variety announced that Wes Craven was officially signed on as director. Share this | | Originally planned for a October 2010 release date, but after writing delays the scheduled release date is April 15th, 2011. Share this | | After missing a Thanksgiving and January 4th deadline, Kevin Williamson delivered the first draft of the script in mid-February 2010. Share this | | Scout Taylor-Compton and Shane Dawson auditioned for roles in the movie. Share this | | Ashley Greene was considered for the lead role, but ultimately, Emma Roberts was cast. Share this | | The film suffered two casting changes in quick succession as shooting had begun. Lake Bell had originally been cast as Judy Hicks but was forced to drop out (which she announced via her Twitter account on June 24th 2010) due to “scheduling conflicts.” She was replaced by Marley Shelton. Six days later, Lauren Graham, who was originally cast as Kate Kessler, dropped out also citing “scheduling conflicts” as well as “script changes.” She was replaced by Mary McDonnell. Share this | | At a table read on June 25, 2010, the actors were told to stop reading at page 75 to prevent those already cast in the film from knowing the climax. Share this | | With four installments, this landmarks the Scream franchise as being one of the only horror franchises to have its main characters return for all its sequels. Share this | | Just as she does in her real life marriage to David Arquette, who plays Sheriff Dewey Riley, Courteney Cox’s character, Gale Weathers, now has a hyphenated name. She is now billed as “Gale Weathers-Riley” since, at the conclusion of Scream 3 (2000), Dewey proposed to Gale and they are now married in this film. Share this | | In May of 2010, Cathy Konrad, the producer of all three previous movies in the Scream series, filed a lawsuit against the Weinstein Company stating her production company had a first-rights deal with the Weinstein Company to produce all films in the Scream series. The lawsuit was eventually dropped. Share this | | Wes Craven stated he was not going to return as director unless the script was as good as the first Scream (1996/I). Share this | | Wes Craven has a cameo in the movie. In June of 2010 he asked his fans following his Twitter account what his cameo should be. Share this | | The first teaser trailer debuted at the 2010 Spike TV Scream Awards. Share this | | Erik Knudsen, who appears as Robbie in this film, played Dale Turner on "Jericho" (2006) alongside original Scream (1996/I) star Skeet Ulrich. Share this | | Kevin Pennington was rumored for the role of Trevor Sheldon. Share this | | Patrick Dempsey was rumored to reprise his role from Scream 3 (2000). The writer, Kevin Williamson, claimed the rumor to be false. Also, Dempsey would be filming Transformers: Dark of the Moon (2011) at the same time for shooting Scream 4, where as it would be unlikely to have the availability to reprise his role. Share this | | The role of Deputy Perkins is played by Anthony Anderson. Anderson appeared in several of the “Scary Movie” sequels. The original Scary Movie (2000) was a spoof of the “Scream” films. Share this | | Neve Campbell and Emma Roberts, two of the lead actresses in the film, both admitted to being terrified of horror films. Emma Roberts stated she was hid under the covers while watching the first 3 ‘Scream’ films. Also, Neve Campbell stated a while back that she can’t watch the films, because she doesn’t like being scared. Share this | | Kevin Williamson, the writer of this film, has expressed a subtle annoyance towards the release of the film. During production producers Bob and Harvey Weinstein brought in Ehren Krueger (the writer of ‘Scream 3′) to polish up the script. Wes Craven later stated that the main ideas, story and concept of the movie were written by Williamson, with minor changes made by Krueger. Share this | | Scream 4 opened in US theaters 15 April 2011, 15 years to the date after the original began filming. Share this | | For the first time in the series, a CGI-added knife was used because Wes Craven wanted to avoid using prop knives that are rubber, cardboard and collapsible. Share this | | Scream 4 is the first film in the franchise not to be edited by ‘Patrick Lussier’, Wes Craven’s long time editor. Since the third movie, Lussier has gone on to a directing career of his own that includes the remake of My Bloody Valentine (2009) which is one of the many horror film remakes mentioned in Scream 4. Share this | | The first Scream movie to not include Jamie Kennedy. Share this | | Each of the new central characters is an archetype for one of the characters from the original: Jill (Sidney), Kirby (Tatum), Trevor (Billy), Charlie (Randy), and Robbie (Stu). Share this | | During production, Matthew Lillard was spotted on set, and was rumored to appear in the film (probably as the killer), but it was later confirmed to just be speculation. This rumor came about, because Kevin Williamson’s original plan for Scream 3 (2000) was to have Lillard come back and have Stu be the killer. After complications with scheduling and script ideas, Ehren Kruger was brought on to write the script and the idea was dropped. Share this | | The first “Scream” movie not to feature the song “Red Right Hand” by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds. Share this | | Rory Culkin’s third successive movie collaboration with Emma Roberts after _Lymelife (2009_) and Twelve (2010). Share this | | A copy of ‘Pride and Prejudice and Zombies’ is visible behind Sydney in the scene at the book store. Share this | | A dummy of Tatum stuck in the doggy door (a moment that is also echoed by the movie’s opening sequence) is visible at the “Stabathon”. Audience members dressed as Dewey and Gale can also be seen. Share this | | This time, the footage from Stab includes the credit “A Robert Rodriguez Film.” Rodriguez really did direct the footage, and also made Grindhouse (2007) co-starring Scream’s Rose McGowan and Scream 4′s Marley Shelton. Share this | | Spoilers The trivia items below may give away important plot points. Charlyne Yi said on "Conan" (2010) that she auditioned for the role of the identity and role of Ghostface. Teenagers Jill and Charlie were both Ghostface in this film. Share this | | Many fans of Scream (1996/I) have pointed out that although Tatum (Rose McGowan)’s death was a great set piece, garage door motors are not strong enough to lift a person off the ground, and have safety mechanisms in place to make her murder impossible. The opening sequence of Scream 4 however has a garage door close on a victim, then rise again once the safety sensors are tripped. This is more akin to what would actually happen if one were to try to crush someone in a motorized garage door. Share this | | This is the first film in the series since the original in which the killer is among one of the characters pictured on the poster. Share this | | Body Count: 15. Share this | | The fourth installment brings the total amount of killers throughout the series up to seven.
