20 Things You Somehow Missed In Scream 3
8. The Grim Irony Of Harvey Weinstein's Involvement
Though much of Scream 3 doesn't really hold up, the sequel has nevertheless been re-evaluated in recent years since sexual abuse allegations were levelled against Harvey Weinstein back in 2017, leading to the onset of the global #MeToo movement.
Critics began to draw parallels between Weinstein and Stab 3 producer John Milton (Lance Henriksen), the latter by his own admission being part of Hollywood's casting couch culture and having assaulted Sidney's mother Maureen.
It's an especially eerie parallel given that Scream 3, as a Miramax release, was of course produced by Weinstein himself.
