Our Favourite Trivia:
Neve Campbell stated on June 6, 2022, that she would not be reprising her role of Sidney Prescott, after starring in the five previous entries, due a salary dispute with Paramount. Campbell's statement read, "As a woman I have had to work extremely hard in my career to establish my value, especially when it comes to Scream. I felt the offer that was presented to me did not equate to the value I have brought to the franchise. It's been a very difficult decision to move on. To all my Scream fans, I love you. You've always been so incredibly supportive to me. I'm forever grateful to you and to what this franchise has given me over the past 25 years." After Campbell announced that she wouldn't be reprising her role as Sidney, her former Scream co-star Matthew Lillard offered his support for her decision. "Did Tom Cruise take less money for Maverick 5?" he asked, insisting that a woman should not be expected to take a smaller paycheck. He noted that Scream (2022) was a "smash hit," and that Campbell should be paid accordingly.
Courteney Cox was the first cast member to sign up to return as Gale Weathers. She states that she did not hesitate to return because she loves playing Gale, and jokingly said that she'd even play her for free. Although Courteney Cox (Gale Weathers) and Roger Jackson (phone voice of Ghostface) are the only actors who have had roles in all six films, this film marks the first time they have directly interacted via telephone.
Kirby, one of the survivors from Scream 4 (2011), returns, making this Hayden Panettiere's first acting credit in 5 years. There were already plans to involve Panettiere in Scream (2022), but she couldn't be located in time, so her presence was limited to her picture on a YouTube thumbnail, and a voice cameo.
The first Scream film to be shot outside of the United States, as shooting takes place in Montreal, Canada.
On the subway one of the passengers is dressed as Grace from Ready or Not which was directed by Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett who directed this film and starred Samara Weaving. There is also a Mojo Jojo costume, from Powerpuff Girls, who was voiced by Roger L. Jackson. Costume designer Avery Plewes estimated she made 200 costumes, with 140 extras on set for the subway shoot. About 45 of those extras would change clothing after getting off the recreated train car then reappear in different costumes on the subway platform. "It was a 25/75 rule, where 25% of the costumes were creepy at the beginning, and then it just progressively got worse," Plewes explained. Other costumes include Pinhead, The Babadook, Peachfuzz, Jason Voorhees, Samara from The Ring (2002), Michael Myers, Grace from Ready or Not (2019), The Creep, Chucky, Pennywise, American artist Andy Warhol, The Grady Twins from The Shining (1980), Freddy Krueger, The wolf mask from Creep, Sherrie from Stab 6, and Italian-American actress and model Julia Fox. Directors Bettinelli-Olpin and Gillett, with their executive producer Chad Villella, even put themselves in the subway scene, albeit very briefly. Bettinelli-Olpin dressed as Kurt Cobain and Gillett put a fake butcher knife through his head.
The bodega in the film was called Abe's Snake, a reference to the pseudonym Abe Snake, which Wes Craven used when he directed adult films in the 1970s.
The film teases a popular fan theory that someday we might see the return of Matthew Lillard's character Stu. Since the first film, fans have been trying to figure out how to bring back the popular character. Even up to this film's release, fans were speculating on if this would be the one to bring him back. In the Stab Museum, we see the TV that fell onto Stu's head. One of the characters mentions it, and another replies, "Yeah, if he's actually dead." Then begins to explain the rumors on the internet of his death being faked.
Body Count: 13 - Laura Crane, Jason Carvey, unseen character Greg, two customers at the convenience store, the store cashier, Dr. Christopher Stone, Quinn's bedroom pal, Anika Kayoko, Brooks, Detective Bailey, Quinn Bailey, and Ethan Landry, This makes the highest body count of all Scream entries.
The movie Jason watches, at the beginning of the movie, is Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason takes Manhattan (1989).
The film made $22.6M internationally in its opening weekend, the biggest-ever overseas opening for the Scream franchise. It also broke records for the franchise in 29 markets, including the UK ($3.6M), France ($2.5M), Australia ($2M), Mexico ($2M) and Brazil ($1.8M).
