For scream fans, this is the ultimate, quintessential go-to for every bit (and then some) of information available about the franchise. Even bits and pieces about the highly anticipated Scream 4, set for 2011, are interspersed throughout. The show begins with the genesis of the project, how the script was conceived (exceedingly interesting), the trouble finding a buyer and then a major player to produce, and most importantly, trouble finding a director. If you can believe it, Wes Craven passed several times before signing on. Imagine old Ollie Stone making this movie!! We then move to location scouting and some odd facts about one possible school location, and other cool stuff about homes where they shot scenes in proximity to other famous houses.
We then get into the intricacies of casting, who they had in mind for what parts (even a surprise bit of info about Drew Barrymore's part). All of the characters are here, giving their points of view - everyone from Lillard to Campbell to the Arquetter-Cox's. And the information they give is insightful and interesting.
We end with a surprise - how arduous the third act of the movie was to make. Again, lots of juicy bits of inside stuff. And we end with little teasers about Scream 4.
MY FAVORITE PART: They interviewed Roger Jackson, the voice actor who played (and played well, I might add) the creepy voice (Hello Sidney!). If you watch the credits closely, i see no credit for the narrator of this program, and I'd bet my house and paycheck that the narrator is no less than Jackson himself. Listen closely: their voices are SO similar - and take into consideration that in the movies they computer-altered his voice. Let me know what YOU think with some follow up comments! All-in-all a must see for "Screamers"!
