Even apart from the moral issues with how they got to this point, it's just gonna be a huge eye-roller to have a new Scream movie where they just unceremoniously drop everything they've been building up in the past two films. All of that Billy Loomis stuff, just completely gone and they're going to expect audiences to hand waive that away and get invested in some totally new story related to Sidney. It's all pretty embarrassing and the best move would've been to just let Scream go for a few years and then present Neve with a good script like 5 years from now.

They might as well bring Stu back at this point.

The opening scene is probably going to be a Stab sequel with actresses who look vaguely like Barrera and Ortega.

Affirmative. Yes. Yo. Right on. My man.

I was going to say, it's got to be a nailed-on certainty that negotiations with Lillard are happening as we speak.

She wrote very detailed descriptions of her experiences...
I'm trying to think of some brilliant pun that relates "Diamonds Are Forever" and the Scream series but I'm afraid I'm not clever enough to thread that needle.

And now Courtney Cox is in talks to join Neve Campbell in Scream 7.

If they're this desperate for casting after dropping the leads for the new trilogy, how bad is this one going to be that they have to bring both Neve and Courtney back?

Cox never left, she was in the last one. I mean, her part was totally unnecessary but she was in it.

Scream 5 was pretty fun I thought. The problem that Neve had was they didn’t pay her enough.

But this movie will probably stink because they course corrected too quickly which probably lead to a messier story.

It should be about like a Ghostface cult or something, and you give Neve a few months of Keanu-style John Wick weapons training, then make it an action flick where she mows through a thousand Ghostface thugs.

They should expand on Sidney Prescott, Ghostface hunter from 5cream. Turn her into a full on action hero.

There's an article here about Melissa's firing with some talk about the Radio Silence guys here: https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-features/melissa-barrera-interview-scream-firing-jenna-ortega-friendship-1235860455/

The Radio Silence guys had planned on doing the next Scream movie after making another movie called Abigail, but the producer, Spyglass, wanted to put out the next movie sooner. The Radio Silence guys joke that they were "exited" from the series. Reminds me of the passive language often used in large layoffs. "suffers layoffs", "reduced headcount", "restructuring" etc.

Yeah, I liked seeing her in the last one, but they could have left her out and it would have been fine.

Idk could go either way. But I’d imagine she doesn’t want to gently caress up Campbell’s career too by saying literally anything.

Sounds like they did back a dump truck of money up to Neve Campbell's house to get her to come back for Scream VII.

quote:

"I'm really grateful that the studio heard me when I talked about pay discrepancy and when I talked about [Scream VI negotiations] not feeling respectful,” she says.

"When they first approached me [for Scream 7], I thought, ‘I don't know what respectful looks like to them. We might be in very different places.’ But they started out in a strong place, so that was lovely."

The studio’s starting offer changed how Campbell viewed the opportunity to return to a character she loves, the star adds.

"It feels nice to have put that out into the world and to have been listened to and to have made a difference in that way," she says. "I hope other people get that opportunity too."

What she thinks she should be paid for one movie, she should ask triple that as the offer since they tried to play slick with her on the last movie.

Yeah, they definitely gave you all that money because you asked and not because they fired one lead for bullshit reasons and the other one walked.

I mean…they didn’t have a choice. They fired the new lead and their biggest star couldn’t do it. Neve had all the leverage.
