‘Scream 4’ filming officially underway in Ann Arbor, MI

Scream 4 officially started filming Friday according to former Access Hollywood reporter Nancy O’Dell who tweeted from set saying, “Have a scene in Scream 4! 1st day of filming today.Can show ya this photo but that’s it! (-:”

This explains why one of our tipsters, Robert, told us that there were tons of trailers and people at their studio in the industrial park on Varsity Drive in Ann Arbor on Friday. He added that they have reserved one set of buildings in the park for “cast” and another building for “set”.

There are also rumors circulating around Twitter and Facebook that they will be filming around Burns Park in Ann Arbor tomorrow (Monday June 28) as several local residents have noticed cones blocking the street today.

Update: Crews spotted at St. Francis of Assissi in Ann Arbor this morning (June 28). It looks like this location is only a few minutes from Burns Park so it could be the holding area/ Base camp.

In addition to the filming in Burns Park, one of our commentors added that the remodeling of the Woodworth Middle School, 4951 Ternes St Dearborn, MI has been completed and the main entrance, windows, doors and school’s name have all been changed. Another tipster added that there was plenty of activity there today and he was expecting there would be more in the coming days.

Finally, in addition to Neve Campbell (who can be seen with Nancy in her Tweeted picture above) we have also confirmed that one of the film’s newest additions, Hayden Panettiere, is in town and was spotted at Salon Vox in Ann Arbor last week!

Finally, thanks to everyone who has sent us their filming tips and star sightings from Ann Arbor so far! We’re looking forward to more in the coming weeks as filming heats up! If you spot a filming location or one of Scream 4’s cast members in Ann Arbor this summer, send us the scoop at olv@onlocationvacations.com, leave us a comment below, or tweet us!

  1. Woodworth Middle School in Dearborn has been renamed “Woodsboro High School,” it’s still an open set and anyone can drive by and see the changes. Although there is security camped out there at all hours.

  2. Just drove by St. Francis of Assissi in Ann Arbor and everything is gone. Saw them out there yesterday (Monday) in full force.

  3. Here’s the info I posted for 6/30:
    Scream 4 is still set up at Woodworth Middle School, 4951 Ternes St Dearborn, MI. They are also expected to film at the Livonia police station today and in Northville, MI on Thursday. (FYI: They have rented out the 16th District Court in Livonia through August, tipster may be referring to this location though no date for filming at the courthouse has been confirmed). (Thanks Anon & Carlos) Also, above is a photo of Monday’s base camp in Ann Arbor. (Thanks Larry)
    If anyone knows more, please let us know, thanks!

  12. I was able to go to the middle school in Dearborn, got a couple of pics that showed Woosboro High but nothing more than that. Security was really tight. Does anyone know where the cast is currently filming now?

  13. Plymouth, MI located off of main street, a building front was put in as the Woodsboro Police Dept. They taped the actually scene for the police dept inside the Livonia Police Dept off of 5 mile rd. It was really kind of neat to walk around there today (plymouth).

  14. Saw Adam Brody the other day, he came to eat at Red Robin on State Street in Ann Arbor… he was wearing a baseball cap and ate alone and read a book.

    • Between Parker and Schneider on Saline Waterworks road. I don’t think it’s Manchester but is either Freedom or Bridgewater Twp. πŸ™‚

  15. My dad and I were standing in line next to Neve Campbell at the Starbucks – downtown Ann Arbor during the Art Fair yesterday.

  16. Played poker with David Arquette at the Heidleberg on N. Main. He was lit, but a great fellow. Was particulary fond of the schnitzle.

  17. Filming in Dexter today. Saw the Z-Loc sign on the Baker Road off ramp on I-94 pointing to the north. I turned south and don’t know where but definitely in Dexter today. πŸ™‚

  18. Not that anyone cares…..this thing seems to have died but they were filming again on Saline Waterworks in Freedom Twp yesterday 8-3 and today 8-4

    • thanks Dave, people are still talking about it in the other threads, if you look at the top right , you;ll see a list of daily locations, just look for ones with Michigan or Detroit in the title and you should find some people chatting there, thanks fro the update too!
