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

Silence.

VOICE (O.S.) Look, I shouldn't have... just tell her Charlie called.

TARA

I will do exactly that, Charlie, once you tell me what kind of group we're talking about.

VOICE (O.S.)

I don't think I can-

TARA

AA? NA? If so, it's about time-

VOICE (O.S.)

I'm really sorry I bothered you.

TARA

Does she talk about me in this group?

A long beat. As she talks, she texts Amber:

Dude I think this is Mom's new BF...

TARA (CONT'D)

What does she say about me?

Amber's response:

Seriously???

VOICE (O.S.)

She loves you very much-

TARA

What does she love about me?

VOICE (O.S.)

I don't-

TARA

You're a little bit in deep shit here, Charlie, because from what I understand, anonymity is kinda the cornerstone of these bad boys, so since you've already screwed that particular pooch, I propose you answer my question so I don't tell

Susan you blew her Alcoholics,

Narcotics, Gambling, and Kleptomaniacs Anonymous cover, deal?

Silence. The Voice takes a deep breath.

VOICE (O.S.)

She loves that you're creative.

You love art and TV and movies-

TARA

Lots of people love movies-

VOICE (O.S.)

She says you love scary movies. And that you guys have that in common. She's proud of making a fan out of you.

This strikes a chord with Tara.

TARA She is?

VOICE (O.S.) She told me the other day she was wondering... what's your favorite scary movie?

TARA

(instantly)

The Babadook. It's an amazing meditation on motherhood and grief.

The ramen on the stove, coming to a boil.

VOICE (O.S.)

Isn't that a little fancy pants?

TARA

Well, it's elevated horror.

VOICE (O.S.)

What's that mean, elevated horror?

TARA

You know, like... scary, but with complex emotional and thematic underpinnings. Not just schlocky cheeseball nonsense.

VOICE (O.S.) Sounds kind of boring to me. Have you ever seen Stab?

Tara furrows her brow.
