After the firing of Melissa Barrera for her stance on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the departure of Jenna Ortega, the Scream 7 project fell into serious disarray. Today we learn that its director, Part 6 writer Christopher Landon, is closing the door on the project.
It’s a new blow to a franchise that has already had to deal without its star Nev Campbell, who has been out since No. 6.
“Unfortunately, I’m not going to do the next Scream movie. I felt the offer that was presented didn’t match the value I got in the franchise. It was a very difficult decision.
As a woman, I’ve had to work really hard in my career to establish my dignity, especially when it comes to Scream.”He said he quit the game in episode 6.
After all these setbacks, director Christopher Landon chose to be arrogant. “I think this is the right time to announce that I’m gone Screaming 7 in a few weeks”The director admitted on X on December 23.
“This may disappoint some of you and please others. It was a dream job turned into a nightmare. My heart goes out to everyone involved. Everyone.”she cried.
“But it’s time to move on. I have nothing more to contribute to the debate than to hope for a legacy Wes Craven Thrives and rises above the chaos of a divided world. that Kevin Williamson And he’s created incredible things, and I’m honored to be able to bask in their brilliance, even for a brief moment.”he added.
Neve Campbell’s return?
At this time, we do not know the successor of Christopher Landon, the project is on hold. However, it was not officially cancelled. Will production agree to give Nev Campbell a raise so that the original actor agrees to reprise his role?
This is one of the ways in which it is considered variety. Episode 7 may once again focus on Sidney Prescott and Gail Weathers (Courteney Cox). In Scream VI, Gale announces that Sidney has moved in with his family, and we know that at the end of the movie, the reporter survived Ghostface’s attack.
According to the American media, one of the options will also be the return of Patrick Dempsey. The latter played Detective Mark Kincaid in Wes Craven’s Scream 3 in 2000.
Voted by People magazine as the Sexiest Man Alive in 2023, Patrick Dempsey has not appeared on screen since the third installment of the franchise, but his name was mentioned in Scream 5 as his character is married to Sidney Prescott.
Scream 7 could be a new showdown between Ghostface, Sidney, Mark and Gale. But this is only an assumption, because the negotiations with the actors have not started.
