Four years ago...

Desde 1996, teniamos claro que Maureen Prescott habia sido asesinada en 1995. Los asesinatos de Woodsboro habían ocurrido en 1996. En 1998 la Sra. Loomis había llevado a cabo su venganza en Windsor College y en un año después, en 1999, el reparto de Stab 3 era asesinado por Roman Bridger. Debido a esto, entre el asesinato de Maureen y el enfrentamiento entre Roman y Sidney habia pasado 4 años. Roman decía:

“Yo también buscaba a mi madre. Una actriz llamada Rina Reynolds. He pasado la vida buscandola. Y hace cuatro años averigüé su paradero. Llamé a su puerta pensando que me recibiría con los brazos abiertos..."

Asesinato de Maureen: 1995
Asesinatos de Woodsboro: 1996
Crímenes de Windsor: 1998
Asesinatos de Stab 3: 1999 (el año del estreno inicial de Scream 3)

Ahora tenemos algunas dudas:

-Al principio de Scream 2, el indicador electrónico del cine Rialto marca la fecha: 12 de abril de 1997.

-En Scream 2, Gale intenta entrevistar a Sidney y le pregunta: “Dinos, ¿cómo ha sido tu vida durante estos dos últimos años?

-La sinopsis sobre Scream 2 de imdb.com dice claramente: It has been TWO years since the tragic events at Woodsboro. Sidney Prescott and Randy Meeks are trying to get on with their lives, and are currently both students at Windsor College. Cotton Weary is out of prison, and is trying to cash in on his unfortunate incarceration. Gale Weathers has written a bestseller...

-En Scream 3, Stab 2 acaba de estrenarse en cines. Podemos verlo en el anuncio en el autobús. Un año es suficiente para rodar  una película sobre los crímenes de Windsor, pero algunas personas creen que no.

Muchas personas siguen pensado que Scream 3 sucede 3 años después de la muerte de Randy. Roman nos deja claro que no, que ha pasado solo un año, y 4 desde la muerte de Maureen.

Since 1996, we knew that Maureen Prescott had been killed in 1995. The Woodsboro murders had occurred in 1996. In 1998, Mrs. Loomis had carried out his revenge in Windsor College and a year later, in 1999, the cast of Stab 3 was killed by Roman Bridger. Because of this, betwenn he murder of Maureen and the confrontation Roman-Sidney had spent 4 years. Roman said:

“I searched for a mother too. An actres named Rina Reynolds.  I tride to find her my whole life. And 4 years ago, I actually tracked her down. Knocked at her door thinking she´d welcome me with open arms...”

Maureen´s murder: 1995
Woodsboro Murders: 1996
Windsor Murders: 1998
Stab 3 Murders: 1999 (start date of the release of Scream 3)

Now we have some doubts:

-At the beginning of Scream 2, the electronic indicator of Rialto cinema marks the date: April 12, 1997.

-In Scream 2, Gale asks Sid: "Tell us what´s happened these PAST TWO years".

-The Scream 2 synopsis on imdb.com clearly states: It Has Been Two Years Since the tragic events at Woodsboro. Sidney Prescott and Randy Meeks Are Trying to get on with Their Lives, and Both Are Currently students at Windsor College. Cotton Weary is out of prison, and is Trying to cash in on historical unfortunate incarceration. Gale Weathers has Written a bestseller ...

-In Scream 3, Stab 2 just released in theaters. We can see the ad on the bus. One year is enough to make a film about the crimes of Windsor, but some people believe that is soon.

Many people still think that Scream 3 happens 3 years after the death of Randy. Roman makes it clear that no, he has spent only one year, and 4 since the death of Maureen.
