Member AlbertV Posted August 2, 2023 Member Share Posted August 2, 2023 (edited) There is going to be a Scream 7 as it has been greenlit. However, no details are hit yet in terms of plot due to the WGA strikes. However, before the strikes, a new director had signed and it will be none other than Freaky and Happy Death Day helmer Christopher Landon, replacing the duo of Radio Silence who had helmed the fifth and sixth films. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/christopher-landon-to-direct-scream-7-1235549639/ Edited March 13 by AlbertV 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But honestly, do we really need 7 Scream movies? They need to learn how to stop beating a dead horse already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Super Ninja Posted August 3, 2023 Member Share Posted August 3, 2023 Scream 5 got me wanting more, 6 made me think now I've had enough, so 7? I'm not really excited about this news, but I could be easily bought with a solid story and a satisfying number of meaty, imaginitve kills.

Member ChillyChong Posted August 3, 2023 Member Share Posted August 3, 2023 I still have 5th in waiting to be watched pile but consider that great news. Some of my fav long running horror lines are in bad shape or over(for now or permanantly?). Been ages since last Friday movie same with Elm street. Was bad way to end Halloween. Who knows if Final Destination comes, got tired last year following what is situation, too many rumours and false news in net. At least Chucky is alive and kicking even if would prefer movies over tv-series. Scre4m movies are good and watch 5&6 on halloween. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member AlbertV Posted November 21, 2023 Author Member Share Posted November 21, 2023 Melissa Barrera has been dropped from Scream VII because of some recent posts involving the Israel-Hamas war. She played Sam Carpenter in 2022's Scream and 2023's Scream VI https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/melissa-barrera-fired-scream-vii-1235669458/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member AlbertV Posted November 22, 2023 Author Member Share Posted November 22, 2023 Jenna Ortega has left the film as well. Since the firing of Melissa Barrera, it had been immediately rumored that Ortega, who played Tara Carpenter in Scream '22 and Scream VI would opt out to support Barrera and it looks official. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/jenna-ortega-quits-scream-vii-1235675434/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan Sarandon got dropped from her agency for the same reason. As for Ortega, she is not doing the film because she will be shooting the second season of Wednesday.

Member AlbertV Posted November 23, 2023 Author Member Share Posted November 23, 2023 With Barrera and Ortega officially not returning, writers James Vanderbilt and Guy Busick are now doing a new script which will feature new protagonists. Both Barrera and Ortega had only signed on for the last 2 films anyway and quite frankly, I think their arc ended well. With the new protagonists, the writers and director Christopher Landon are hoping they can work out a deal for Neve Campbell and Patrick Dempsey to return as Sidney Prescott and Mark Kincaid. They did end up becoming a couple as mentioned in the last film by Gale Weathers. Campbell opted out of the last one after a salary dispute, so here's hoping they do work out a better salary for Campbell should they attempt to make it happen. https://variety.com/2023/film/news/scream-7-eyes-neve-campbell-patrick-dempsey-to-return-1235805929/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member DarthKato Posted November 24, 2023 Member Share Posted November 24, 2023 Damn. I still haven't even seen Scream 2 yet. Its right over there on my movie shelf. Staring at me with longing eyes. But I just haven't found time for it. I don't see myself ever watching this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member AlbertV Posted December 23, 2023 Author Member Share Posted December 23, 2023 (edited) Christopher Landon took to his Twitter/X account to formally announce he has left Scream 7. Edited December 23, 2023 by AlbertV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member AlbertV Posted December 31, 2023 Author Member Share Posted December 31, 2023 With Barrera and Ortega not coming back and Christopher Landon dropping out, I personally think Scream VI had a fitting end and they should just stop now while they're ahead but know that's just wishful thinking.

Member AlbertV Posted March 12 Author Member Share Posted March 12 (edited) It's official: Neve Campbell is returning as Sidney and the film will be directed by the one who wrote the original film, Kevin Williamson. Guy Busick is writing the new film. https://variety.com/2024/film/news/neve-campbell-scream-7-return-1235939728/ Edited March 12 by AlbertV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Drunken Monk Posted March 12 Member Share Posted March 12 Kevin Williamson doesn’t exactly get my anticipation up, considering he’s only ever directed one film and it wasn’t a horror film. But I suppose he has some credit to his name since he wrote the original. I just think we’ve moved on from that formula. Scream’s evolution has been decent over the last two movies.

Member PandaPawPaw Posted March 12 Member Share Posted March 12 I want Sidney to be under the mask this time and get killed so this whole franchise can end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
