One of the best scenes from ‘Scream 6’ almost had to be cut from the movie

In an interview with CBRthe co-director Matt Bettinelli-Olpin revealed that one of the best scenes of ‘Scream 6‘ nearly had to be cut from the film.

The filmmaker stated that the subway sequence was very difficult to get off the ground, since they could not shoot in a real location and needed to build a convincing set that could blow the production budget – which revolved around $35 million.

“The subway scene was a big challenge. It could cost us dearly. We talked about it a lot. Thirty percent of pre-production was thinking, ‘How can we create this subway scene?’ There were a few moments where we considered cutting that sequence from the film, but we didn’t want to give it up.”

He completes, “The end result shows how incredible our team is. Everyone worked together to figure out how we could shoot this scene; how could we create something that felt like it was in motion. We had to go through all the departments, and they all did their best. When we got to the finished set, our reaction was, ‘This really looks like a subway station. I feel in New York’. It was exactly what we wanted. It didn’t feel like a set; it felt like a real location.”
