Trivia[]
- Scott Foley's feature film debut.
- Carrie Fisher helped re-write some of her lines.
- Courteney Cox remarked about her relationship with then-husband David Arquette in relation to the Scream franchise "I was just flirting with David on the first one, I was sleeping with him in the second, and we shared a trailer in the third."
- Patrick Dempsey was hired the day before shooting began. He had one night to learn three big dialogue-heavy scenes.
- Throughout the film, Sidney (Neve Campbell) can be seen wearing the Greek letters around her neck that were given to her by her boyfriend Derek (Jerry O'Connell) in Scream 2 (1997), shortly before he was killed.
- The film never had a public test screening. The cast and crew only had their first chance to see the finished product at the premiere because of fears of spoilers being put out on the Internet.
- Because of the Columbine massacre, and the controversy and media hype around the time about whether or not violent video games and movies are responsible, the producers were pressured into toning down the film's violence. (At one point, the studio attempted to demand for no blood to be seen in the film at all). As such, the film is a bit more satirical and comedic than the first two. Notice how stab wounds are rarely ever shown onscreen, and the heaviest gore scenes involve the aftermath of the killings. Also, no teenagers are included in the cast to be killed for obvious reasons, making this the tamest and least gory Scream film in the entire series.
