Stuilly fun fact as someone who’s deeply hyperfixated on these two and has watched the movies maybe 100 something times plus did like 1-2ish of reading of the original scream 1 script. Billy Loomis wasnt originally a cold and distant guy. He was extremely lively and actually a jokester that perfectly matched Stu Macher’s character. Yet while casting both Matthew Lillard and Skeet Ulrich to play Stu Macher and Billy Loomis (I LOVE HOW THEY DID PLAY THESE TWO I AM NOT HATING!!) Matthew Lillard made Stu Macher a heavily funny, goofy and joyous guy while Skeet Ulrich was going into this movie thinking it was a dark and dangerous movie. He also claimed to think it was a documentary of two killer teenagers. He was COMPLETELY confused on why Matthew kept joking around so when you see Matthew Lillard joking around with Jamie Kennedy and Rose McGowan, Skeet makes Billy serious and cold. He also stated he was thinking “What the hell is this guy doing? 😭😭“ Until he realized at the ending reveal scene it’s unserious and playful and the movie is one big joke off of actual horror movies. The scripts love to detail Billy’s cocky behavior butttt I LOVE movie Billy!!! ^___^
