Check out our interview with Scream writer James Vanderbilt!
More than 25 years after the original Scream terrorized theaters, the iconic horror franchise is back with the aptly-titled sequel, Scream. Among those responsible for the property's highly-anticipated return is screenwriter James Vanderbilt, a Hollywood veteran who has worked in some of the industry's biggest series, including Spider-Man and Transformers.
James Vanderbilt: We did. We actually sort of felt like it was part of the fun of making a Scream movie, is writing fake endings. It's sort of the honor. It's what Kevin did, and we wanted to honor Kevin and Wes. So we actually gave a lot of the actors' different endings than is actually in the movie. We gave certain people in post-production, in the studio different endings. Guy Busick, my co-writer, and I wrote a bunch of different fake endings.
James Vanderbilt: The way we approached it, and I've had this experience before in my career where I worked on movies before where people go,"Oh, it would be so exciting to plan out two and three! And we'll plant this," and then the movie comes out, and there is no sequel because it didn't work.
James Vanderbilt: Going back to the fact that Billy Loomis, Loomis from Halloween. There's always been sort of a naming scheme, and so, one of our newer characters is named Sam Carpenter. Carpenter for John Carpenter. There's a character named Wes in the film after the wonderful late Wes Craven. There's always, I think, a playfulness to creating those characters and naming them that way.
James Vanderbilt: Oh, I mean, listen, I just as a fan would love to see him play the role more, just because I think he's so wonderful, and I would never say no to working with an actor like that at the same time. I think what they've built there and -- listen, I know Amy Pascal. I've known her forever and she's done such a great job producing those movies. I would always say yes to working with my friends again.
