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. Most filmmaking is a seat of the pants endeavour fraught with pitfalls and last second changes.

I’m going to miss them, all - well, except for Nick Searcy. Everybody showed up ready to go, day in and day out, willing to make the extra effort. Not one a**hole in the group. In six years, there’s been no b.s. I know everybody says this, and I don’t know how often they mean it. Is it going to be hard to leave “Justified”? You don’t have to worry about the egotistical writer. You took on the role of producer on “Justified.” Did you enjoy it? Then you try to see a place where you can fit in there. First and foremost, you try to get your hands on something that you’d want to go see, even if you weren’t in it. I suppose in the back of my mind when I was out collecting chicken eggs, yeah.
Something I’ve come to terms with is, it’s just a job, like any other. What’s the most valuable lesson you’ve learned about show business?
I remember thinking, Liev Schreiber clearly knows what he’s doing. At that point in your career, the key word is persistence, hanging in there. I’m very appreciative of them being willing to take that risk. I had virtually nothing on my resume at that point. There were plenty of apologies at that stage of my career, I’m sure. What would you do differently if you could go back to that time?
