Rebecca Walters was Sidney Prescott's publicist as well as her personal assistant.
History
Rebecca first appears getting out of her car with her boss, Sidney Prescott, after arriving in Woodsboro for her book signing. She gives Dewey the keys to Sidney's rental car when it becomes an official crime scene due to several Ghostface props, blood, and copies of Sidney's Out of Darkness novel being found in the trunk.
Rebecca is later seen outside the police station after the incident where she unintentionally winds up Gale Riley. She claims she didn't get to say something earlier at the bookstore but she is extremely excited to meet "Gale Weathers" as she was her nineties. Rebecca goes on a tangent about the movie, Stab, and inappropriately making comments comparing the movie romance to Gale's marriage with Dewey. She manages to get Gale's attention again but in a negative way. She threatens Rebecca, scaring her off.
When Sidney and Jill are in the hospital after Olivia's death and Jill's attack, Sidney finally gets fed up of Rebecca's prissy, inconsiderate attitude and fires her.
As Rebecca is going into the parking garage to leave, telling herself that Sidney will come around and re-hire her in the morning, she gets a phone call from Ghostface. He's pretending to look for Sidney. After telling him that she is at the hospital with Sidney, Ghostface calls her a liar, informing her that he knows she is in the parking lot. Afraid, Rebecca gets into her car to find her car is dead and Ghostface on the hood with wires in his hand. Getting out of the car when she is convinced he disappeared, she runs to the door to get back into the hospital elevator but the handle breaks off in her hand. Turning, she is stabbed in the stomach by Ghostface.
Meanwhile, down at the entrance of the hospital, Dewey is holding a press conference informing everyone that everything is under control. There is a loud scream and Rebecca is thrown from the roof by Ghostface. She lands on a news van which, of course, kills her.
Quotes
- "Oh my fucking god, Henry. Yes, it's true. Two girls butchered. Payday. I was so not feeling Woodsboro. I was like, "Lame PR move." Well, fuck me wow. Best. Idea. Ever."
Behind the Scenes
- Prior to filming, it was revealed that two characters' sides and casting calls had been merged into one. These turned out to be Bette and Rebecca.
- Bette's casting cell states: "Sidney's personal assistant. Type A who getsthumb|right|300px|A Video of Ghostface killing Rebecca the job done. Secretly yearns for Sidney's fame and fortune."
- Rebecca's casting cell states: "Cute, vain over-achieving student at Woodsboro High School. Editor in Chief of the high school newspaper. She's a future Gale Weathers."
- In the alternate scene of Rebecca’s death, she leaves the hospital going into the parking garage. After Ghostface taunts her over the phone and she responds by telling him that she's at the hospital with Sidney, she heads towards her car only to see the alarm go off while the car is moving and bumping. She flees to the other side of the parking garage and runs. Ghostface tells her that if she wants to go to the hospital, he'll be glad to put her there: "In the f*cking morgue!" She continues to flee until she sees another car at the end moving and Ghostface jumping out from behind it. She screams and runs towards the hospital's elevator but the handle breaks off in her hand. Turning around, she is stabbed in the stomach by Ghostface and falls to the ground dead. Then Ghostface takes her body and drags her to the edge of the parking garage where he throws her off. Like the scene shown in the movie, she lands on the news van and dies.
Notes
- Being rendered a Type A personality; she will break the rules to get a story and is rather pushy and obnoxious in doing so. She even gets excited of opportunities when Jenny and Marnie are murdered. These likenesses resemble an old version of Gale for this generation of Scream. Ultimately, this inconsideration got her fired by Sidney and soon after murdered by Ghostface.
- Rebecca is shown in a deleted scene on the DVD blu ray release where she's at the Roberts' house and sees Sidney looking at some old pictures above the fireplace in the living room, Rebecca asks who that is in the photo and Sidney says that it's her mother. Rebbeca tells Sidney she's got her hotel room booked but Sidney says she'll be staying with Kate and Jill. Rebecca agrees and leaves the house telling Sidney that she will be at the inn if she needs her.
