What changed in this version?
In August 2023, an early assembly cut of Scream 3, dating from October 1999, surfaced online.
Running approximately 142 minutes, this version contains substantial footage removed or altered before the film's February 2000 theatrical release.
The original circulating assembly is entirely black and white, with visible timecodes and unfinished sound elements. It features alternative scenes, extended dialogue, deleted sequences and a significantly different opening.
A separately documented promotional VHS also exists: a 117-minute NTSC Scream 3 Demo Tape distributed by Dimension Home Video in the United States in 2000. That release should not be confused with the unfinished assembly cut.
