I thought she made a big deal about leaving the franchise?

Ugh, they're gonna get away with killing their storyline because they couldn't tolerate Barrera being anti-genocide.

Well, I won't be seeing the new Scream regardless.

4 was amazing, 5 was meh, 6 was good until the ending.

7 has the potential to be great if they are bringing back Neve.

You have an oddly optimistic view on this.

5 & 6 just became irrelevant because the 2 main lead sisters meant to replace Sidney were fired/quit.

7 is going to be its own standalone movie devoid from the accomplishments of 4-6 and they're going to have to scrape some new storyline together after investing so much time into the previous arc.

If Sidney merely being in the movie made it great there would be no criticisms of the main Scream franchise, where she's the focal character.

Can someone refresh my memory of why the newer two leads left? (the sisters one of whom was the daughter of the original killer)

I think with Jenna it came down to a scheduling conflict.

The main lead was fired for posts she made about the events in Israel. And Jenna left the day after, citing schedule conflict which reeks of bs.

Was the lead making antisemitic remarks? I didnt really follow the situation just saw she got fired and figured it had something to do with that.

In August, Christopher Landon was announced as the director of the seventh film.[98] Production had been slowed by the 2023 Writers Guild of America and SAG-AFTRA strikes; plans were pushed back again on November 21, when Melissa Barrera was fired from the film for social media posts in support of Palestine during the 2023 IsraelHamas war which were interpreted as antisemitic by producers.[99][100] The next day, it was announced that Jenna Ortega was not returning due to scheduling conflicts with filming the Netflix series Wednesday,[101] as well as due to salary disputes with Spyglass Media Group,[102] while it was also reported that screenwriters Vanderbilt and Busick were now tasked with "starting from scratch".[103] On December 23, Landon announced that he was no longer associated with the sequel, saying: "I guess now is as good a time as any to announce I formally exited Scream 7 weeks ago. It was a dream job that turned into a nightmare. And my heart did break for everyone involved. Everyone. But it's time to move on."[

The timing is way too coincidental. It was announced that she wouldn't be returning for Scream 7 only just a day or two after Melissa Barrera was let go.

Awesome to hear, she was one of the main reasons I started watching Scream movies.

She didn't say anything anti Jewish, she simply said she felt sympathy for the innocent victims in Palestine. But the studio decided to call that antisemitic

In addition to Neve returning, Kevin Williamson is going to be directing.

I like the last two films, but they did feel a little fan-fictiony. I feel like Williamson being involved will help lessen that. As far as Campbell returning goes, the last film proved that the series can work without Sidney, and there was a clear plan for the story (as much as I dislike the "being a killer is genetic" trope). Ditching all of that and going back to Sidney feels like a shot in the foot, but I do think Williamson can make it work (even though I'd feel better if he were involved in the writing, too). I'm still gonna give it a chance, so we'll see.

the new cast wasn't horrible but i wasn't a fan of them, so i'm not really sad to see them go. i'm only mildly surprised they went backwards instead of just trying again with a new set, but i guess it is kinda horror-esque in a jamie lee curtis kinda way (without the multiverse thing going on).

Thats why shes been cancelling con appearances. She doesnt need the money now and thats all its been about with her. Now that Scream 7 has more money to throw around since losing their two stars, they can afford Neve Campbell lol. Also Scream 6 was so bad it was almost as bad as Scream 3. They should let this franchise go away after this next one.

She spoke out against the genocide happening in Gaza. Some higher up Spyglass executive of Jewish ethnicity got pissed off about this and had Barrera fired. Ortega claims scheduling conflicts, however Scream is a pretty popular franchise that I imagine promises to pay well (unless you're Neve Campbell, I guess) and I recall in the previous thread when this was happening people were pointing out there logically was no conflict. I'm hoping she quit out of solidarity with Barrera, personally.

its a common thread that she left for that very reason. Even if its not said outright, it happened right after she was fired and so people believe it to be true.
