Actors Reunited[]
With the film in mind Ehren Krueger (the screenwriter who also helmed the third Scream) planned with characters they already have assigned actors whom he visualized in the part but would have to come down and audition to see if they could act the character.
With casting actress Rachel McAdams of Mean Girls and the Notebook as the bitchy but cruel hilarious character Carly Rachel asked if for the character of the cameo Sheriff character of Warragul that he consider casting actor Brian Cox whom had starred alongside her on the Wes Craven film Red Eye.
He went over the film and then called upon Brian to come down and consider auditioning for the role.
From there Ehren for characters whom were either contemporary or ones he hadn't visualized with actors he go over the already cast actors and see if actors they starred alongside in other movies would fit the bill.
Like Twilight Actress Kristen whom had been cast who was heavily known for being one of the main characters of the film series Twilight had an actress who worked with her on the series named Nicki Aycox whom he felt would visually be perfect for the beginning victim character Emma Rhodes.
Death Structure[]
The death sequences appearing throughout the film are all captured on MP3 video and uploaded directly to facebook of the victim's killing directly after the victim has died. The killers (as revealed there are two involved in the grisly life stripping) possess one facebook profile which is unable to (by almost complete technical shock be deactivated even by the website's elusive creator Mark Zuckerberg.) shut down. The account allows people to post on the wall of the facebook profile but not access the images including the display image (another giant technical wonder).The display is the central killer's masked costume in the always donned hood brandishing the central trench knife which are the killer's primary methods of murder in the film.
Apart from the profile display picture there is a gallery of images album titled Victims.
All of the intended victims are shown at certain normal points of their life crossing the street, at their house etc.
