10 Movies That Took Insane Steps To Prevent Spoilers

10. Script Leak Damage Control - Scream 2

Considering what it had to live up to, and what went down during production, the final result with Scream 2 going down so well with fans and critics was close to miraculous. Swiftly going into production after the unprecedented success of its predecessor, a major setback was dealt after key plot details were leaked online, including the culprits behind Ghostface's identity.

This prompted the studio to order massive re-writes to the script, changing out the members of the guilty party, where while 'Debbie Salt' was still kept, she was now joined by Derek's friend Mickey. This meant that they had to re-shoot everything that negated this new ending to make it work. They also only told the new twist to actors on a need-to-know basis, to prevent a second leak. Alternative 'fake' endings were also given to other actors to throw them off, including one where Dewey turned out to be the killer.

Given that the original script featured four antagonists - Hallie, Derek and Cotton in addition to Salt - the changes enforced on the production might have been a blessing in disguise, as it gave Laurie Metcalf's Salt the focus it deserved, making her revenge resonate better with fans.
