Trivia: Kristen Stewart was approached to appear in the original opening, where she would have been killed in an homage to Drew Barrymore's death in the original film. However, Stewart felt that she wouldn't be able to measure-up to the high standard set by Barrymore in the original film, so she politely declined the offer. Subsequently, the opening was re-written to feature multiple deaths and several fake-outs.

Trivia: SPOILERS: The only "Scream" movie in which one of the killers isn't shot in the head during the climax. (Albeit, one of the killers is shot in the chest instead).

Trivia: Kirby was originally going to be revealed to have survived. However, the scene revealing she survived was cut due to timing and pacing issues. Director Wes Craven instead decided to leave her fate intentionally ambiguous so they would have the option of bringing her back in a future film if they wanted - she was stabbed and last seen bleeding, but was still breathing. Spoiler Alert... the 2022 sequel does ultimately confirm she survived in a blink-and-you'll-miss-it Easter-Egg in one scene.
