I think a re-editing of the movie would be interesting. It’s been done before but only when the director has died. No. Come to think of it the director of Mel Gibson’s “PAYBACK” completely re-edited the masterpiece released in theaters titled “PAYBACK: Straight UP” which was terrible.

The Weinsteins could make a lot of money producing a new cut of Scream 4. These scenes I’ve discovered on this forum are very interesting and scary. Thoughts?

@Tom

No one is comparing Jill to Michael Myers. I bought Jill has a killer because she had a lot of rage and the adrenaline running through her body helped her do the things she did. I don’t know why people can’t understand size of a person doesn’t matter when you have those 2 things.

J.D., it would be a great surprise to fans that I would love, but for sure some idiot would reveal before ¬¬

I agree with much of what you say, Mr Ghostface. Wes’s editing decisions seem somewhat suspect here, and the shifts in tone uncontrolled but it ISN’T a bad movie. I like what it has to say, and the rebukes to the “reboot”/remake system are great.
Neve Campbell overcomes all flaws, David & Courteney are very good, while Hayden Panettiere is irresistible. Kirby’s fate is so awful, I’d like an alternative cut where she survives a la Dewey in 1 and 2. Make it happen…please?

How hilarious would it be if the DVD ends with a different character being the killer? Ha, ha. There’s a first time for everything!

I had really high expectations for the film, and the film just did not meet them. And it’s consistent with the box office results. They had really high numbers in mind, and it just didn’t get there.

With that said, I can say confidently to both situations above, Scream 4 was NOT BAD. I think for both me and the box office watchers, had they not expect too much, this film would be splendid in their minds.

But I stand on my ground that Wes didn’t do his best job in editing the film. Some stuff shouldn’t be cut out, and he put in scenes/lines that didn’t feel quite right.
