Bob Weinstein reflected on the title change for 'Scream', saying, 'Michael Jackson had a song out, and Harvey’s listening to it, and of course the song was 'Scream.' At first, we weren’t happy about the change but we later conceded that we couldn’t imagine any other title.' This statement emphasizes the influence of popular culture on the film's branding and the creative evolution the project underwent.
Screenwriter Kevin Williamson shared his thoughts on 'Scream's origins: 'I came up with the premise and wrote it as a one-act play. I considered shooting it as a short film but ultimately decided to flesh it out into a screenplay.' His reflection highlights the film's unique beginnings and its transformation into a feature-length film.
Marco Beltrami discussed the budget constraints during production, saying, 'I really didn't have the budget for a lot of the things I wanted to do. Every time I hear that cue now, I can picture Wes standing back there whistling.' This captures the innovative approach the team took to navigate financial limitations.
Drew Barrymore explained her choice to play Casey instead of the lead role, stating, 'In the horror film genre, my biggest pet peeve was that I always knew the main character was going to be slugging through at the end, but was going to creak by and make it.' Her decision to subvert expectations added depth to the narrative and transformed the genre.
