Scream Was Ahead Of Its Time, Says Casts

The iconic movie completed twenty-five years in 2021. However, things were not rosy for the movie makers initially. After the shooting of just the first scene, the production of the film came to a screech. The initial take was not liked by the cast and crew. Moreover, the directors also had clashing dates with two of their main characters. Both Courtney Cox & Drew Barrymore were busy with their small screen engagements. The duo appeared in ” Friends” & ” Party Of Five”. 

 Fortunately, the cast decided to go on with the movie. This helped the directors to create a movie that was very much different from the traditional one. Scream did not follow the path of a conventional horror movie. It came with a flair of its own that made Scream such a hit.
