Scream 4 (stylized as SCRE4M) is a 2011 American slasher film and the fourth installment in the Scream series. Directed by Wes Craven and written by Kevin Williamson, writer of Scream and Scream 2, the film stars an ensemble cast which includes Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, David Arquette, Emma Roberts and Hayden Panettiere. The plot involves Sidney Prescott returning to Woodsboro 10 years later after the events of Scream 3, as part of her book tour. As soon as she arrives, Ghostface once again begins killing students from Woodsboro High, including friends of her younger cousin. Prescott, Gale Weathers-Riley, and Dewey Riley once again team up to stop the murders, but not before having to learn from a new generation the "new rules" of surviving horror films.

Originally, the series was intended to be a trilogy, but film production for a fourth installment was approved by Bob Weinstein. Depending on the box office, Scream 4 may be the first of a new trilogy. Williamson had to leave production early due to contractual obligations, and Ehren Kruger (Scream 3) was brought in for re-writes. Campbell, Arquette, and Cox are the only returning cast members from the previous films and were the first to sign on to the film in September 2009. Panettiere and Rory Culkin were the first of the new cast to sign on in May 2010. Ashley Greene was initially the choice of the lead character, Jill, but the role eventually went to Roberts. Filming took place in and around Ann Arbor, Michigan in June 2010 to September 2010, with re-shoots in early 2011.

Scream 4 was released on April 15, 2011, and took in $19.3 million its opening weekend in the United States and Canada, making it the second-lowest opening in the franchise, since the first film, although it did receive a favorable critical response, being considered an improvement over its predecessor. It was the final film directed by Wes Craven before his death four years later.

Plot

10 years after Scream 3, on the fifteenth anniversary of the original Woodsboro murders, high school students Jenny Randall and Marnie Cooper are attacked and brutally murdered at home by a new Ghostface.

The following day, Sidney Prescott returns to Woodsboro to promote her new book Out of Darkness, with her publicist Rebecca Walters. After evidence is found in her car, Sidney becomes a suspect in the new murder spree and is forced to stay in town until the murders are solved. Sidney's cousin, Jill, who is dealing with the betrayal of her ex-boyfriend, Trevor Sheldon, gets a threatening phone call from Ghostface. Jill and her friends Kirby Reed and Olivia Morris are questioned about their calls by Dewey Riley, who is now the sheriff of the town, assisted by Judy Hicks. Meanwhile, Gale Weathers, who is now married to Dewey, is struggling with writer's block. She decides that the new Ghostface murders could revamp her career and begins delving into the case, despite Dewey's protests.

Sidney stays with her aunt Kate Roberts while in Woodsboro. Later that night, Olivia, who lives across the street from Jill, is attacked and brutally murdered by Ghostface, as Jill and Kirby watch in horror through Jill's bedroom window. Sidney and Jill rush to the house, but the killer attacks them, managing to injure Jill before fleeing. Jill is taken to the hospital. Later, in the hospital's parking garage, Ghostface proceeds to stalk and murder Rebecca. Moments later, during a press conference hosted by Dewey, he advises that they have got the murders under control, but Rebecca's body is then thrown off the building onto a news van.

Sidney and Gale enlists the help of two high school movie fanatics, Charlie Walker and Robbie Mercer, who explain that the killer is following the rules of movie remakes to plan the murders. Charlie concludes that the killer will likely strike at a party being held that night. Gale goes to the party to investigate and is injured by Ghostface before Dewey arrives; Dewey takes her to the hospital. Meanwhile, two police officers assigned to patrol Jill's house discover a window to be open and are both murdered by Ghostface. Meanwhile, Kate arrives home as Sidney receives a phone call threatening to murder Jill, prompting the two to attempt to save her, as Jill does not answer her phone. It is then revealed that Jill is not at home, but at Kirby's house. Ghostface is revealed to be outside of the house and stabs Kate in the back through the front door's mail slot, killing her. Sidney then runs into a suspicious Judy while escaping from the house and heads to Kirby's house to save Jill.

Ghostface appears at the party and murders a drunken Robbie soon before Sidney arrives at the house. During a confrontation with Ghostface, Sidney instructs Jill to hide under a bed upstairs, while she narrowly escapes Ghostface. Kirby is forced to answer horror movie trivia to save Charlie, who is tied up and gagged outside. After she answers Ghostface's questions, she goes outside to untie Charlie, believing that she has won the game. He suddenly stabs in Kirby's stomach and leaves her for dead, upset that she took too long to become interested in him, which reveals him as the killer. Sidney is then seized by Charlie, but when she escapes, she gets stabbed in the shoulder by a second Ghostface, who is revealed as Jill. Jill reveals that she and Charlie decided to kill people to replicate the first murders. Jill also reveals that she is angry and jealous of the fame and attention Sidney received in the wake of the murders, and she wants the fame just like Sidney. Jill then pulls Trevor, her ex-boyfriend, tied up and gagged, out of a closet. Although Trevor tries to talk Jill out of murder, she kills him by shooting him in the groin and the head. When Charlie suggests harming themselves to make them look like victims, Jill kills him by stabbing him in the chest and stomach, intending to frame him as Trevor's accomplice. She then stabs in Sidney's stomach, leaving her for dead. She then trashes the house and hurts herself in order to stage the scene. Dewey, Judy, and the rest of the police then stumble upon the carnage.

Sidney and Jill are rushed to the hospital. Dewey visits Jill and tells her that Sidney and Gale are actually still alive; Jill offhandedly remarks that she and Gale would make a good book-writing pair because of their matching wounds. Once Dewey leaves, Jill makes her way to Sidney's room to finish her off and proceeds to strangle her. Visiting Gale in her room, Dewey suddenly realizes that Jill's bizarre knowledge of her and Gale's "matching wounds" implicates her in the murders. He finds her in Sidney's room, but she knocks him out, and is quickly confronted by Gale and Judy. Jill shoots Judy, incapacitating her. Just as Jill is about to shoot Gale, Sidney shocks Jill with a defibrillator, knocking her out. When their backs are turned, Jill rises with a shard of glass, but Sidney then shoots her in the chest, killing her. It is revealed that Judy was wearing a bulletproof vest and is uninjured. Dewey gains consciousness and calls for back-up, as media reporters outside confirm Jill as a survivor and a "hero, right out of the movies", giving her the fame she craved.

Production

Development

Scream 4 was announced by The Weinstein Company in July 2008, with Wes Craven saying that he would not mind directing the film if the script was as good as Scream. In March 2010 it was confirmed that he would indeed direct and stated that, "I am delighted to accept Bob Weinstein's offer to take the reins on a whole new chapter in Scream history. Working with Courteney, David and Neve was a blast ten years ago and I'm sure it will be again. And I can't wait to find the talent that will bring new blood to the screen as well. Kevin is right on his game with the new script – the characters and story crackle with energy and originality – to say nothing of some of the most hair-raising scares I've seen in a script since... well, since the original Scream series. Let me at it".

In May 2010, Cathy Konrad, who produced the first three films in the series, filed a $3 million lawsuit against The Weinstein Company, alleging that they violated a written agreement that entitled her company, Cat Entertainment, first rights to produce all films in the series. The Weinsteins argued that this contract required Konrad's services be exclusive to the franchise, which Konrad calls "false pretext", claiming the previous film did not require this condition. The suit accuses the Weinsteins of surreptitious behavior and "a scheme to force Plaintiffs to walk away from the Scream franchise without compensation," enabling them to cut costs by hiring someone else to produce (Craven's wife, Iya Labunka, not named in the suit). In April 2011, it was reported that the Weinsteins had settled out of court with Konrad, the details remaining confidential, though it was claimed that she would receive a cash payment plus a percentage of the profits from Scream 4.

Writing

Craven stated that within the ten years that have passed between Scream 3 and Scream 4, there have been no "real life" Ghostface murders but have been numerous sequels to the film-within-a-film Stab. He also commented on the life status of Sidney Prescott, "She's done her best to move on from the events that occurred in the previous films, even releasing a successful book". Craven said that endless sequels, the modern spew of remakes, film studios, and directors are the butts of parodies in the film. The main characters have to figure out where the horror genre is in current days to figure out the modern events happening to and around them.

In an early draft of the script, Gale and Dewey had a baby, but was changed after it was decided bringing a baby into the film would make shooting "impossible". In another early form of the script, the opening scene involved Sidney going head-to-head with Ghostface and being left for dead. There would have been a two-year gap in the story while she recovered, however, Bob Weinstein feared it would slow the pace of the story and bringing in young characters would work out best.

Scream 3 writer Ehren Kruger was brought in during production to do re-writes. Craven said, "Look, there was a bumpy period when things shifted over from Kevin to Ehren. I signed up to do a script by Kevin and unfortunately that didn't go all the way through the shooting. But it certainly is Kevin's script and concept and characters and themes". It was reported that the actors were not given the 140-page script past page 75 in order to protect the identity of the Ghostface killer.

Casting

In September 2009, Variety reported that Neve Campbell, David Arquette, and Courteney Cox would return. Craven briefly explained their roles in a later interview with Entertainment Weekly, saying "It's a total integration of those three and new kids. The story of Sid, Gale, and Dewey is very much a part of the movie." At a press conference for Repo Men, Liev Schreiber — who played Cotton Weary in the first three films — stated there were no plans for his reprisal. In an interview with FEARnet, Williamson continued to deny a rumor of Jamie Kennedy returning, "I would love nothing more than to have Jamie Kennedy in the film. However to have Randy in the film, it sort of just takes it... I mean Scream 2 was a lie, you know? It's a false move. So I just won't do it. I can't do that. I just won't do it." In April, over 12 casting sides were released to the public to buy for auditions of the film.

In May 2010, Hayden Panettiere and Rory Culkin signed on. Ashley Greene was offered the role of Sidney's cousin, Jill, but the role later went to Emma Roberts. Lake Bell was to play Deputy Judy Hicks, but dropped out four days before filming due to scheduling conflicts, causing the role to ultimately go to Marley Shelton. Nancy O'Dell reprises her role from the second and third films as a reporter. Roger L. Jackson returned as the voice of Ghostface. Lauren Graham was to play Kate Roberts, the mother of Roberts' character, but dropped out a few days into principal photography. Craven, like in the previous three films, has a cameo and took to his Twitter to ask fans to pick his role (the cameo was, however, deleted from the final cut of the film). The Hollywood Reporter reported that Anna Paquin and Kristen Bell have cameos in the beginning of the film akin to Drew Barrymore and Jada Pinkett Smith in the first and second Scream. Shenae Grimes and Lucy Hale also have cameos in the film.

Filming

On a budget of $40 million, principal photography began on June 28, 2010. Filming was scheduled to end on September 6, after a 42-day shoot, but instead concluded on September 24. Filming took place in and around Ann Arbor, Michigan. Scenes portraying Woodsboro High School school featured in the original Scream film were shot at Woodworth Middle School in Dearborn, Michigan. The former 16th District Court in Livonia, Michigan was used as a police station.

In April 2010, while scouting for a bookstore to use in the film, Craven spotted a new bookstore that had not yet opened in downtown Northville, Michigan named Next Chapter Bookstore Bistro. Craven instantly loved the building as well as the name and decided to use both in the film. He also hired the owner's chef to prepare the food and pastry for a scene in the film. The scenes were shot the first week of July. After the test screening in January, Craven and Weinstein did not think two scenes played well for the audience. Aimee Teegarden and Alison Brie returned to Detroit in late January and early February of 2011 for four days of additional shooting. The scenes involved Teegarden's character who is stalked at her home and Brie's character who is attacked in a parking garage.

The film also extensively used computer-generated imagery for the first time in the franchise. For example, instead of using a "collapsing knife", the knife's blade was added during post-production with CGI effects. Anderson's death scene in which he is stabbed in the forehead and walks a few feet while talking before finally falling to his death, was not in the script but was inspired by a "real-life medical emergency" Craven had seen in a documentary about a person being stabbed through their head and walked into an emergency room. He thought it was "extraordinary if somebody was stabbed in the head and still be alive for a while". Craven also did not tell the studio that he was taking this approach for the death scene, jokingly saying he hoped he would not be fired the next day.
