Original Scream (2022) Script

Action

I found this while I was doing a deep dive on the internet. It's the original script to the movie Scream (2022)- there are a LOT of differences from the one they decided on. TW / graphic depictions of violence.

The Script

Start from the beginning

by wrenelysium

Chad, Wes, Mindy and Amber sit on a bench at the front of the Sheriff's Department. Chad is speaking sotto to Wes.

CHAD

...I mean, she even slept with Vince, you know? Liv is not known for her conservative values. Is it me? Am I not as hot as I've been led to believe?

WES

You're a suspect in a murder, and this is what you're worried about?

CHAD

(shrugs)

We're not all single virgins, Wes.

Wes eyes Amber, who's texting with Tara.

WES

Well, maybe that'll change soon.

It takes a moment for Chad to take his meaning.

CHAD

You think- Wait, you actually think Tara- That she'd leave that... to come back to you?!

Wes shushes him, but Chad's escalating cackles result in the rare Dom Deluise silent laugh. Liv returns.

MINDY

Does Wes's mom think it's you? Because of the stalking? Did you use my "boring" defense?

Liv looks back towards Judy's office.

LIV

I think she has her eye on someone else, actually...

INT. SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT - SHERRIF HICKS'S OFFICE - SAME

Judy looks at Dewey with pity as he holds an ice pack to his quickly-bruising face.

JUDY

Dewey. You know why you're here?

DEWEY

Your deputy told me. Vince Schneider was found murdered right after he used my skull as a piñata. Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.

Judy, shocked.

JUDY

You used to be a nice guy, Dewey.

DEWEY

I'm still a nice guy, Judy. I'm just tired.

JUDY

Where did you go after you left the bar?

DEWEY Home.

JUDY

Did you... drive in this condition?

DEWEY

What condition? Injured? Or drunk?

JUDY

Dammit, Dewey, I have to clear you. Just tell me-

DEWEY

I didn't do it. My neighbor saw me come home.

Judy relaxes at the mention of an alibi.

JUDY

The person who tried to kill Tara Carpenter last night was wearing a Ghostface mask.

DEWEY I heard.

JUDY

We think this murder is connected.

(beat)

(MORE)

JUDY (CONT'D) No one has more experience with Ghostface killings than you.

DEWEY

I can think of a couple people.

Judy goes to him. Sincere.
