After the first draft of the script was leaked on the internet, several changes had to be made and characters were fully re-written. Dewey (David Arquette) had originally transferred himself from Woodsboro Police to the security staff on campus, so he could be close to Sidney (Neve Campbell) and keep her safe. Randy (Jamie Kennedy) was originally Gale's (Courteney Cox's) new cameraman and Joel (Duane Martin) was a med student and friends with Sidney. Derek (Jerry O'Connell) was the film student shooting a documentary who walked around with a camera, not Mickey (Timothy Olyphant). Debbie Salt (Laurie Metcalf) was more aggressive and bitchy, as in one scene, she asks Sidney if she "finally snapped and if she's the one doing the killings", being punched in the face by Gale as a result. The scene in which Sidney slaps Gale never happens. Mickey was the one who sang in the cafeteria (to Hallie (Elise Neal), not Sidney) and a different song ("I Will Always Love You" by Whitney Houston). The killers were Derek (Jerry O'Connell), Hallie, and Debbie Salt (Mrs. Loomis). Loomis ends up shooting Derek and Hallie, but then gets stabbed by Cotton (Liev Schreiber) before she can shoot Sidney and Gale. Cotton suddenly has a change of heart and decides to get even on both Sidney and Gale as he consider them responsible for ruining his life. He stabs and kills Gale, and then runs after Sidney. Kevin Williamson stopped the writing there, but left some notes in the script "That's all I've written so far" and then describes in a few words how the story was supposed to end. Cotton and Sidney would eventually stab each other and die lying side by side. At that point, Williamson probably intended to end the franchise with this movie.
