Where is scream 2 filmed

And while it did serve Baskin-Robbins ice cream at the time of the filming, sadly that is no longer the case. Though the two are first shown walking through a hallway at Agnes Scott College in Georgia which was largely used to portray Windsor College in Scream 2 while looking for a room with a VCR to play the footage, the scenery then flips to Humanities A51, a vast UCLA lecture hall, where Gale and Dewey wind up rekindling an old flame.

It is not long before Ghostface shows up and destroys their rendezvous, though. Gale is subsequently chased by the killer through a Humanities Building hallway and then into a large sound booth that was actually a set built at a recording studio in Burbank.

Originally known as Kinsey Hall, the Humanities Building was shuttered for renovations in and renamed. The exterior of the site was also utilized in Scream 2 , in a later scene in which Gale rushes outside to make a frantic phone call to the police to announce that Cotton Weary Liev Schreiber is the killer, while Debbie Salt Laurie Metcalf looks on.

Ghostface has long since made his getaway, though, and as Sidney walks to the accident scene, Hallie is murdered while standing in front of the First Church of Christ Scientist. Kerckhoff Hall, erected in , stands in for the exterior of the Windsor College Theatre, where Agamemnon , the play Sidney is starring in, is set to be staged. The building is named in honor of William G.

It is there, onstage amongst the crumbling Agamemnon scenery, that the Ghostface identities are finally revealed and Sidney and Cotton form an unlikely alliance. The Variety Arts Theatre was originally constructed as part of the headquarters of the Friday Morning Club, an organization for women, in Designed by Allison and Allison, Architects, the five-story Neo-Italian Renaissance-style property, now known as the Variety Arts Center, is comprised of offices, meeting space, and two theatres.

It is the larger, lower-level venue, originally named The Playhouse, that was featured in Scream 2. Renovations are currently underway and the Pentecostal organization is expected to begin holding services on the premises in Because of the renovation, I was not able to get inside to take photos, but you can see some interior images of it here. The one location I have as yet been unable to track down aside from the theatre bathroom featured in the opening scene is the film theory classroom where loveable film geek Randy Meeks Jamie Kennedy discussed the inferiority of sequels with fellow film theory students Cici, Mickey Timothy Olyphant and Film Class Guy 1 Joshua Jackson.

How would Randy make sequels better? While I do know via several cast and crew members that the reshoot took place at UCLA, I have not been able to pinpoint exactly where. Scream 2 follows Sidney and Randy to college where their treacherous past repeats itself, forcing them to go up against Ghostface once again. In an effort to distance themselves from the Woodsboro murders, Sidney and Randy leave town and attend Windsor College.

The two survivors are quickly thrown into a familiar hell, this time their college campus acting as the killer's new hunting grounds. Though not specifically stated, it is clear from license plates, zip codes and local news reports that the fictional school is set somewhere in Ohio, although the filming locations were all within California and Georgia.

The first scene of Scream 2 kicks off at the premiere of Stab , the first in a popular series of films depicting the now-famous Woodsboro murders. Th-ough the interior of the premiere scenes were filmed at Vista Theater in Hollywood, the exterior shots were gathered from the Rialto Theater in South Pasadena.

A gory Ghostface killing in the theater preludes the coming attacks on Sidney and her friends, jump starting the events of the second film. It is no surprise that the entirety of Scream 3 was shot in California since the film is set in Los Angeles during the production of the latest Stab movie, the fictional franchise still thrilling audiences. Sidney, Gale and Dewey take to Hollywood after being lured by Ghostface, once again active and out for blood.

Mainly taking place on the set of Stab 3 and at various homes belonging to the film's cast and crew, shots were gathered from many notable Los Angeles hotspots. Weary, wrongfully accused of the murder of Sidney's mother in the first film, is now the successful host of his own talk show, but is killed in his home by Ghostface in Scream 3's opening scene. The town of Woodsboro is a slice of sweet Californian suburbia, similar to many other communities seen in slasher films.

Quiet until its not, Woodsboro has become the notorious origin of the Ghostface murders and the calm community is continuously sent into a frenzy of fear. Though Sidney escapes the grip of her hometown during the second and third films, Scream 4 sees her return to Woodsboro, tormented once again by Ghostface's wrath. Quotes Randy : [from the trailer] There are certain rules that one must abide by in order to create a successful sequel.

Crazy credits There are no opening credits. User reviews Review. Top review. Film Planted Firmly in Cheek. Wes Craven is back again at the helm of Scream 2, his followup to the mega-successful Scream. As sequels go, one could do a lot worse than this film. Sure, it has a pretty silly story trying desperately to cling to the original source material, but it never ever takes the story too terribly serious.

How does Craven do this? He laces the film with all kinds of film references and humour directly tied to the film industry and actors involved. Several mentions of "Friends" cast members abound whilst having Courtney Cox return in her signature role as Gail Weathers.

Craven also brings back the rules to horror films - now horror sequels; these rules are right on mark too wish we had heard the most important!

In fact my favourite scene in the whole movie is in a classroom where students debate the inferior sequel to the superior original. Excellent examples are given to support one argument that sequels are better: Aliens and Terminator 2, and of course, The Godfather 2. Naturally this small cross section seems great when none of the hundreds of truly bad sequels are mentioned.

Purposely I am sure! Is Scream 2 better than Scream? No way. It doesn't have nearly as much punch to it. The opening scene this time takes place in a movie theater, but it is not as powerful as the opening scene with Drew Barrymore in the original. The story is really something unto itself as well Not that that would be any great pity.

I did like the acting in this one more. Arquette returns as Dewey affecting some kind of limp and pinched nerve in hand. He does a fairly nice job. Cox is lovely as ever and also is good in her role. Campbell is OK, as is the rest of the cast with Jamie Kennedy again standing out as nerdy movie maven Randy Weeks and, in particular, Liev Screiber doing a wonderful job as Cotton Weary the man who had been accused of killing Sidney's mama.

This sequel has more blood, more deaths, and more jokes. Like the original, I too enjoyed this film for its entertainment value if nothing else. BaronBl00d Jan 15,
