Occasionally a scene was not written until the same morning they filmed it. This meant the original script was re-written a number of times, often at the last minute. Not usually an ideal situation for anyone involved in the film industry, however, the unforeseeable reasons forced Craven and Williamson to take drastic measures to ensure filming continued. The major one being leaking of plot points on the internet, which of course created bigger problems and almost ruined the movie before production had been finished. When combined with the acting talent of Scream alumni Neve Campbell ( Party of Five series, The Craft 1996) as Sidney, David Arquette ( Buffy the Vampire Slayer 1992, Airheads 1994) as Dewy, and Courtney Cox ( Friends series, Cougar Town series) as Reporter Gail Weathers, similar praise was almost guaranteed for the sequel.Īlthough, despite the winning combinations, there were issues during filming of Scream 2. Alongside Craven’s direction, Kevin Williamson wrote the script, whose written for highly successful television series, Dawson’s Creek and The Vampire Diaries, which likewise added serious talent to the mix.
