The deal was to include Scream 2, a non-genre film titled 50 Violins (with Madonna tapped to star), and third unnamed film (that would almost obviously end up being Scream 3). These are the circumstances under which Scream 2 was made, and all things considered, it stands as a testament to director Wes Craven and writer Kevin Williamson that the film managed to be almost equally as good as the original and actually far more interesting on an academic level.įollowing the slowly growing success of the original Scream, Craven and his long time producing partner Marianne Maddalena signed a three picture deal with Miramax in March of 1997. Oh, and it has to be done by December of that year to cash in on the same season that made the first film so much money, meaning the sequel is coming out just a shade under a year after the original. It gets even tougher when the film you are making a sequel to is still in theatres and not showing any signs of slowing down at the box office when cameras are set to start rolling. That situation gets stickier if said film had a twist ending that threw most viewers for a loop and reignited an entire genre. That is, of course, provided that they aren’t making a sequel to one of the previous year’s biggest success stories. Nothing goes according to plan, but more often that not on major Hollywood productions things tend to go more swimmingly.
