with the caveat being that he write it quickly six weeks in fact such an extreme deadline for a film series that is known for its great writing should have been a red flag from the beginning but the weinsteins really liked kruger's tenacity and quick turnaround and didn't see any issue with the limited time craven was even impressed with the pages that he had been receiving from aaron during this time by his own admission krueger had issues with writing for the characters often having to revise drafts with craven or the actors unfortunately once filming started krueger was taken off the project by weinstein in order to work on reindeer games leda calgaritis i really don't even know if i'm saying that name right was then brought in for any rewrites needed while filming this is odd because while later went on to write films such as shutter island and avatar she had no experience at the time but wes craven felt that she had an understanding of the first two scream films that would make her perfect for the job her main focus was the inclusion of sydney's mother and bringing the events of the first film back around to this one and then the events of april NUMBER_TOKENth NUMBER_TOKEN changed everything when the columbine high school shootings happened society was looking for something to blame not wanting to face reality people came together to blame the media it was apparently the fault of violent movies and video games you know the exact argument that billy and stew used in the first film absolute nonsense don't you blame the movies movies don't create psychos movies make psychos more creative unfortunately miramax caved to the mounting pressure and had many demands for wes craven the first of which being the change in location from woodsboro to los angeles they felt the move would help get ahead of any criticism of a small town being devastated by tragedy like in columbine and with the plot being based around making a movie the change to los angeles made the most sense they also didn't want any teenagers involved in the killings for obvious reasons the final caveat was a big one though they wanted craven to focus on the comedic moments and to lighten up on the bloodshed oh boy while craven fought back it clearly wasn't enough because the film we got had more than its fair share of comedic bits and the kills are mostly a result of unseen stabs and then people covered in blood even the big house explosion quickly envelops the character in flame and we don't see any actual gore when compared to the rather visceral shots from the first two films scream NUMBER_TOKEN really disappoints the biggest change that occurred during production were the number of killers both of the prior scream films had two different killers billy and stu in the first and mrs loomis and mickey from the second the third film changed things up and only roman was revealed to be the killer however that wasn't the original intention and the evidence is all over the film sure they teased several times that the police detectives are up to no good even giving roman a police issued bulletproof vest and there have even been theories regarding david arquette's dewey but the main character to look at here is emily mortimer's angelina she would have been roman's lover and also a
