Gillett and Bettinelli-Olpin revealed to Variety that the plan was always to kill off Dewey in Scream 2022, but that there was never a plan to take out Sidney or Gale. However, Dewey's demise was fiercely debated, as the studio had second thoughts about his death into production, asking the directors to film an alternate version where he survived. They obliged the request, but did so in a way that was never really usable. "Just to describe the shot, it was an over-the-shoulder from behind Gale and Sid of a doctor's legs. It was absolutely not really a usable shot. 'Shot' is very generous," said Bettinelli-Olpin. The shot would've had Dewey recovering from surgery after his grisly attack, with Gillett explaining the situation as such: "We very begrudgingly got one shot that you could put some voiceover over, like, 'He woke up from surgery, he's gonna be fine,' With no intention of ever f*cking using it."
