Scream 6: Courteney Cox breaks silence on Neve Campbell’s absence

Scream 6: New York without Sydney

Just over a year after finding him in a fifth work, Ghostface has already returned to sow terror Scream 6. Still directed by the Matt Bettinelli-Olpin/Tyler Gillett duo, the action takes place this time, not in Woodsboro, but in right in the heart of NYC. It is in this urban context that the masked killer, whose identity is once again unknown, will carry out a massacre. And this time he’s heavily armed.

As noted in the film’s trailer, he does in fact not only own his own knife, but a rifle as well. To stop it, the task will then be particularly arduous. Especially since there is no regular who has defeated him many times: Sidney Prescott, played by Neve Campbell.

Courteney Cox breaks the silence

Indeed, the one who has survived all the attacks of Ghostface since the first Wes Craven film released in 1997 will not be present in this sixth opus. The reason ? She wasn’t satisfied salary proposed to return to Scream 6. Thus, he had declared that the proposed sum was not equal to what he had brought “to the deductible for 25 years”:

As a woman in this industry, I think it’s very important that we stand up for our true worth. I honestly don’t think if I was a man who made 5 movies in a huge franchise over 25 years that I would have been offered this salary. And deep down, I knew I wasn’t going to make it. I couldn’t have gone to set feeling devalued.

An absence that has been felt on the set, especially with his co-stars since the first film. Thus Courteney Cox, the interpreter of Gale Weather, confided the absence of Neve Campbell to the microphones of variety :

I have missed not working with her anymore, but I support her in her approach and what she sees as right.

Also revealed the interpreter of Gale which she didn’t know who was behind the Ghostface mask on set. A funny moment for the actress:

I have a great scene with Ghostface (…). Of course I got stabbed a lot of times and stuff like that, but this time working with Ghostface without knowing who’s hiding under the mask was really fun. Usually the moment I get stabbed, I know who he is.

What if Neve Campbell is finally hidden under the mask?…
