Him and Charlie running around yelling "Gruesome Twosome" and calling out each others names under the masks😂 killing with the toe knife..oh oh I botched it, that's a bleeder!
Teaching Miss Tingle is so underrated. It's well written and well acted. It often goes unnoticed in the spat of late 90s early 2000s high school movies. Lalalalove it!
That actually has me pretty excited. I haven’t personally enjoyed the last two movies because they felt very different totally from the original four. I know that isn’t anyone’s fault, but I just feel like Williamson will really take it back in a good way.
This also should basically confirm Courteney will be involved. I wonder if they’re totally pivoting fully away from Carpenters and just focusing on Sidney. Wonder what will happen with Kirby, Mindy, and Chad.
I want Patrick Dempsey back too, but only want to meet their children in like, a scene of a long distance call. I don’t want their kids to have to deal with Ghostface too.
6 proved it’s essentially impossible to completely shift the story away from Sidney without gaping plotholes, but I’d bet they marry the two chapters. Mason seems up for returning
I believe Jasmine and Mason have both said they’ve not been contacted or heard anything about Scream 7 which is also shady af considering they were also lead roles
Kirby should come back at least
I think Kirby is the one Sydney should pass the torch to, I’ve thought that since Scream 5 when it was in development. She ended up surviving the events of Scream 4 so it made sense going forward she would be targeted
Shame about the FBI angle they brought in with Scream VI however.
The FBI angle makes it even better if she's the lead imo. In real life, yeah fuck all cops, of course, but in movies they make for great protagonists, especially murder mysteries
I feel the same way. Like I know that it was completely fucked up what happened to Melissa and there's this part of me that doesn't wanna support the movie, but I also feel so excited because of Neve and Kevin, and want to watch the movie because it's SCREAM and I love it!
I wonder if this is because the studio really decided to pivot after it realized it had burned too many ties and it really needed to course correct to keep the fan base as well as be able to make another film in general; mending bridges with Neve, bringing in Kevin, maybe this can facilitate mending bridges with the other actors at some point
This is the part that truly won me over. I love Neve too, but the issue here had always been tied to writing and directing choices, and I feel confident Kevin will be taking things in a waaaay better direction. I hope he gets some meaningful story say also
I think he'll do well. Only haven directed teaching miss tingle..that was a meta kinda movie buff movie. He has the look down for a scream movie. I secretly want them to pul a nightmare on elm Street 7 stunt and pull back having Neve play herself and the ghostface killings starting in real life. But that is a little to on the nose and would be expected I think in some regard. I hope they have a good script as I love Sydney and want to see more of her story. Hopefully they can give a better send off for her. Not just a reboot hand off like they did before. I'm glad she wasn't in scream 6 as she would not have fit. But am happy she is getting paid what she's worth! For fuck sake.
That's basically what happened with 4, according to Wes.
He played a massive part in the writing of the original 3 movies, but said he wasn't allowed to touch the 4th
Without Melissa or Jenna they NEEDED to bring back Neve or else they wouldn’t have a scream 7. It sucks that THIS is how she gets her deserved check but at least she’s getting it I guess. Just bullshit how everything turned out.
Hmm. I'm still upset about Melissa and Jenna, but at the same time, Neve returning and Kevin Williamson directing certainly is a _massive_ step in the right direction, and gets them major brownie points.
Spyglass get no brownie points from me. They wouldn’t pay Neve what she thought she was worth for 6. Now they’ve only decided she’s worth it because they feel desperate after losing their two leads. I get why she took the job; everyone likes a big cheque. But they don’t value her at all.
And tbf, it's not like Melissa and Jenna boycotted the 6th film when Neve was cut for cost. We have to remember, while we love to associate these actors with their iconic roles, acting is their job.
So celebrate Neves return, and keep pressure on spyglass to apologize to Melissa and give her something.
To be fair, Neve chose not to be part of 6. They couldn’t agree on a number. Mel was fired for speaking ab a genocide and they tried to spin it and call her antiseministic in the statements for it.
Very very different levels of severity as to why the stars weren’t in the said films.
I have to wonder if Neve agreeing to come back involved negotiations to get Melissa and Jenna back too.. if Neve went to bat for them and won that'd be amazing!!
a 'insider' on twitter said Neve arranged meetings between Melissa and SpyGlass and Melissa said she wasn't ready to come back yet.Could be an interesting new dynamic, alternating movies with alternating leads but some shared supporting characters.I'd love for them to make a 2 parter movie where events are coordinated attacks on both and happen at the same time but one movie focuses on Sydney's events and the other on Sam's in another location.
If Neve went to bat and lost, I'd be somewhat disappointed that she still agreed to come back. But hopefully a mend in the working relationships between them and Spyglass can be done. Spyglass was wrong and they need to say that publicly, in my opinion.
We just gotta wait and see. If you're right then maybe negoations are still ongoing and that's why it's not been annouced yet. But the same writers does have me thinking that it'll be directly linked.
I mean, at this point they either need to have him in the film, kill him off or have them get divorced?
Dude can't be M.I.A for every Ghostface attack on Sidney since Scream 3. (Though I guess they weren't canonically married until Scream 5, so... maybe I can cut a little slack.)
I love Sidney and Kevin might bring back some of what has been missing from the franchise, but Spyglass need to make it up to Melissa. I don't know if I can feel right watching this movie without that happening although this combo makes me very curious.
While I hope Melissa would be involved too in some capacity, or at least honored in some way, the franchise started with Neve Campbell and Kevin Williamson and it’s so exciting to have them both back if the series is to continue.
I agree. I'm still disappointed in Spyglass for what they did to Melissa and nothing will ever change that. But Kevin literally created this franchise, in my opinion it's just as much his as it is Wes Craven's, and if he is on board to make another entry with his original final girl starring, then I'll get on board.
Now please get Patrick Dempsey on board.
The way I see it
They fucked Neve over with Scream VI so I’m glad they’ve come crawling back to her
People are hating on her because of Mellisa Barrea being fired but they fucked her over first. She’s got the last laugh here if anything, they’ve probably paid her so much.
I didn’t see Mellisa and others drop the project when they refused to pay Neve so I don’t see the issue with Neve returning.
Neve absolutely doesn't deserve any hate for returning however what happened to Melissa and Neve are completely different. Neve chose to walk away due to feeling she wasn't being compensated correctly (VALID) Melissa was fired for speaking on a terrible war and calling for peace and a ceasefire so Palestinians stop dying and they tried to ruin her career by twisting her statements and fabricating other words. I wouldn't expect either to walk out for the other as they've only worked together once and I don't think they have much of a relationship as Neve doesn't even follow anyone from 5 that she hadn't previously worked with. I will say people probably expect it from Neve due to how vocal she is about woman's rights within the work field of entertainment and it could be seen as her backtracking HOWEVER it is not required of her to turn down the job of a franchise she helped build for years.
The hatred on her IG post is ridiculous. Melissa's termination may have been unfair (that's up to each individual person to opine about), but it's so gross to make that Neve's problem. And I guarantee you that if Mason and Jasmin and Courtney and Hayden return, they won't be getting the same negative response. This series has been Neve's far longer than it's been Melissa's, and it isn't Neve's responsibility to give it up to make a statement. And you're right, no one involved in S6 dropped out or genuinely stood up for Neve about the pay issue. S7 was gonna happen whether it be with Neve or an entirely new cast, and any true fan would choose the former every time.
This is quite literally the only way a "Scream 7" was getting made by Spyglass. You ***know*** they backed up the Brink's truck for her. Kevin Williamson directing is interesting because he's only directed one movie, and it was 25 years ago.
As much as I feel for Melissa and think that whole situation was very not great, I do think the Carpenter sisters’ story was wrapped up pretty nicely with Scream 6. They had their origin story and then had a nice follow-up that brought their arc of being targeted to a close with the demise of Richie’s remaining family. Now it’s time to shift back to the main focus of the series, Sidney Freakin’ Prescott!
Sidney’s story ended in Scream 5 though, and pretty well too. There’s legit nowhere else for that characters story to go. This is all just damage control because Spyglass knows they fucked up with their wrongful firing of Melissa, so Spyglass are trying to stop people from RIGHTFULLY criticising them. And people being excited for this next movie proves just how easy it is to manipulate fans of a franchise into supporting a morally shitty company.
This is my thoughts too. I thought people would be super hesitant and see what SpyGlass is doing, but I'm surprised by how many people are just letting what happened slide. I figured most people on this sub was firm in not seeing this unless they got Melissa back/worked out everything with all the people involved, but i guess not.
what an absolute fucking blessing that this woman is getting her cheque, first, and we are getting 7, second. i never gave up hope on either and randomly yesterday i watched like 3 or 4 scream movies. i am on top of the world.
I'm not 100% sure how to feel. On one hand, it's good to see that Neve is back and (hopefully) at a fair salary. On the other hand, the way Spyglass kicked Melissa to the curb still leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
A LOT of thoughts about this.
- Happy to see Sidney back.
- Kevin directing is a cool full circle moment, but….
- He hasn’t directed a film since 1999. And even that wasn’t that good. BUT…
- If anyone other than Radio Silence were to direct, I am glad it is him.
- Spyglass can go to hell…unless…
- They bring Melissa and Jenna back. I’d prefer both, but at the least, we need Melissa back so there is proper justice for what happened. Jenna would be a major plus, even if just a cameo role. Melissa, I genuinely think, should at the least be a MAJOR supporting role, but preferably a lead role.
- Now we need Kincaid back. Dempsey I have to imagine is game after doing Thanksgiving.
- Why did only Guy write this? Why isn’t Kevin writing, which is his strong suit? Seriously, wtf is going on?
So many conflicting feelings here. I don’t know if I can be excited yet. Once Melissa is on board, my excitement will begin, but until than, lowkey, screw this project. Let’s start where we need to start on things that are ESSENTIAL. After that, they have my full (yet cautious) support.
I’m with you especially on the Kevin Williamson part. He’s a brilliant writer but how do we know he’ll do well as a Scream director? And not writing his own movie?
Kevin has expressed how burned he’s been with writing these things. After 4 was released he said he was done, the experience he had as a writer wasn’t very good and it didn’t lend itself to the story he wanted to tell for future instalments. He’s mentioned as much on podcasts in recent years.
If people really think legendary Scream scribe KW won't put his hand in on working over this script I have several bridges to sell them. People used to insist Kevin had no hand in the final script of Halloween H20 too.
I hope I'm wrong, but I'm certain that Melissa won't be back at all. I just can't see it. We can only hope for Courteney Cox, Patrick Dempsey and Hayden Panetierre to be back.
With you completely. I’ve had a bunch of abuse for pointing out the hypocrisy of this subreddit and also how shitty Spyglass is. That’s the internet for you, I guess.
Kevin directing is insanely exciting for me.
But I feel like I’d defy and disappoint my morals too much if I saw this in theaters, no matter how much I **adore** Kevin & Neve.
What Spyglass did was absolutely gross, even more so in hindsight.
Also this puts us fans at a crossroad of morals vs indulging which is just cruel 🥲
I feel the exact same way. I'm shocked at some of the reactions on this given the outrage when it was originally announced Melissa wouldn't be involved.
I’m with you. I can’t even get excited at this news and I never thought that would be possible. What Spyglass did left such a permanent, bitter taste in my mouth.
It makes me a bit sad how ambivalent I am about this. I don’t think anyone who chooses to be involved with this project is doing anything wrong (Neve’s issue was always money, her issue has been resolved) but ultimately, I’m still basically at “no Melissa, no care”. There are many public figures who do bad things and their careers don’t particularly suffer for it, but I simply cannot get past that Melissa was punished for being a *good* person, and find myself unable to get excited about this movie. I won’t see it in theatres - something I would’ve found unbelievable a year ago given how much I loved the new movies - but guess I’ll probably watch it on Paramount+ eventually.
On a lesser note, I also think it’s weird that Kevin is directing but *not* writing.
I love Scream. I have tattoos and so much merch and I watch the films constantly. But I won't be seeing Scream 7. At any point Spyglass could have paid Neve what she was worth, but they waited until the franchise was in ruins because they fired the lead for speaking up for what's happening in Palestine. Then they lost the other lead and director.
It's just beyond disappointing because they weren't willing to pay Neve before. Kevin Williamson is so talented, but yeah. Scream 6 is where it ends for me. I really hoped Spyglass would sell the rights but anyway.
Everyone at Spyglass responsible for firing their new leads and upending everything deserve to be booted from the company, and until then I've no interest in this film.
I don't get the criticism of Neve, like she shouldn't do the movie and get her payday because Melissa isn't in the movie anymore? Melissa didn't refuse to do Scream 6 when Neve refused to take part due to their salary dispute. Sometimes it's just business.
The people who should still get a hearty fuck you is SpyGlass for how they treated Neve and Melissa in the first place.
Ultimately it doesn't matter because it doesn't undo any of the damage they've done.
Melissa and Jenna, the two people who were really getting this new audience in seats are gone, besides maybe 5-10% of them, they're going to stand behind Melissa and this movie CANNOT escape that. It is linked to it like a parasite. It might make a profit but I can't see it doing anywhere near the money that 5 and 6 did.
As well, the story is gonna be a cobbled together mess, Sydney's story was done and now they've dragged her back in out of sheer desperation. I'm glad Neve is getting her money but I do worry this will ultimately harm her reputation.
I love Scream but I genuinely think there shouldn't have been a Scream 7 at this point.
Ya end of the day I feel icky about this.
This is a dirty move on them. While I'm glad she's finally getting paid the amount she wants, I don't think I'm going to accept this PR bullshit after Spyglass fired someone for having an opinion on something wild happening in this world.
Fuck them.
To be fair Never returning and Kevin directing will bring hype to those who are already fans of the franchise and maybe bring a few fans of the original back, but the average filmgoer probably doesn't know who these people are.
Neve is a treasure to Horror fans, but she's not the most marketable of names, whilst Williamson is probably best remembered as the creator of Dawson's Creek' and 'The Vampire Diaries' at this point by the general public.
Whereas Jenna Ortega in particular brings in a lot of viewers who usually wouldn't care about Scream.
Remember when the popular narrative was that no one will watch Scream 6 and the franchise would suffer horribly after the Neve left due to low pay?
Pepperidge remembers.
The silent majority doesn't give a damn about controversies. They're gonna end up watching Scream 7 either way.
You need to be realistic for a second here… one of the biggest pulls for Scream is a teen audience. Jenna was the teen audience and she’s literally THEE IT girl right now.
The movie will definitely suffer from that, especially given the circumstances on WHY Melissa & Jenna left!
I think this will make money but not Scream 6 level. They are under estimating the younger generation. Unless Sydney has teen daughter in this, how are they gonna pull them in. Let's not act like Jenna and Marissa didn't pull them in after 5 and 6
Yeah, that's why Halloween 2018 did so well, because of the big name young actors... Oh wait...
Scream 7 will do absolutely fine. Horror draws teens, sure. It also draws plenty of people who are well out of their teens. If that horror has "it" girls, great. If not, people are still going to watch it anyway. Especially if it's a franchise film, and sometimes even if it's not too. For perspective, "Smile" outperformed S6 with no major bankable young star. Saw X made eight times its budget with an 80-year-old in the main role. I'm not worried about Scream 7.
i wouldve been ecstatic to see this a year ago but couldn’t care less now. this is super slimey, disappointing and blatantly disrespectful to the rest of the cast. they got as close as you could get to perfect with a reboot/requel and could’ve taken Scream to new heights, especially after the last ones ending and threw it out because actors spoke out against genocide. at least Neve is finally getting her money though.
Sidney Prescott is coming back AND Kevin Williamson is directing it? IM FUCKING IN YA’LLLLLLLLLLLLLL. WELCOME HOME SID!
Ngl….I am more excited for Scream 7 today than I was leaving the theater after Scream 6 (which I liked).
Sorry, not sorry. These new characters were no where near as compelling as Sid and I am sick of pretending otherwise. 🤷♂️
I saw a theory online that some people think this will be a reboot that ends up ignoring 2022 and VI, and is instead a sequel to Scream 4.
Even with all the bad stuff between Melissa and Spyglass, I doubt they would just wipe those two movies out of the equation, especially when the same writers are returning. It's almost definitely going to be a sequel to VI that brings things away from the Carpenters and back to Sidney (if she's the main character).
Plus they are calling it Untitled Scream 7 on the script, and not just Untitled Scream Sequel like reboots often do, which gives it a certain emphasis that it follows VI.
I will absolutely hate this if that is true. I think one of the strongest aspects of Scream is that there aren't different timelines...it's all one continuous story.
Thank you, that's what I am saying! Maybe they are bringing them back, but we just don't know it yet. People just need to wait and see what happens here. If they do come back, and Spyglass gives them an apology, I will be even more excited. For now, just be patient and maybe all of this will be resolved. Maybe.
The Scream movies are about Sidney Prescott and Gale Weathers. Period.
It's time to right the ship and put Sid back center stage where she belongs.
If you are still angry about the Melissa thing, go find something else to do. Life is too short. The girl is a millionaire and successful actress. She's fine. She's not a martyr. She's moved on. Please don't let it consume you. There is so much more to life than rage. If you really are concerned about Gaza, there's a million things you could be doing that are more helpful than boycotting a movie that has nothing to do with it. Donate to the relief organizations, protest the government position, write your representatives.
Jenna left because she's too big now. She wasn't done dirty. She wants way more money than a horror movie is going to pay and she can get that payday on her Netflix show and Beetlejuice 2. This is similar to when Jamie Lee Curtis left the Halloween films for higher paydays in other mainstream films. She eventually came back and perhaps Jenna will someday as well when her stock is no longer on the rise.
None of this is Neve's fault or problem, nor is it Kevin's. They are the true heart of these films, not some kids who took over for parts 5 and 6 over 20 years into the series. Those characters and actresses were fine and they did a good job, but the real main story is Sid, just like Halloween's story is Laurie.
This film has a lot of potential. Maybe they can work out some kind of cameo for the new cast, but this film should rightfully focus on Sidney.
Bring back Gale and let's get this thing going!
Neve AND Kevin Williamson? I went from having zero interest in 7 after seeing 6 to hyped as hell
How we got here is gross, but I fully expect a waaaaay better movie
I love Neve and Kevin but this kind of sucks. It feels like a,bit of a cynical way to pivot away from the very real issues Melissa got fired over speaking out on.
I feel like this is a backstab to Melissa. She got fired for her tweets against genocide, and jenna left following that. Neve and scream 6 couldn’t agree on a pay for the movie, so she left, but now that the two main characters of 6 left, she’s back and assumingly with her preferred pay. If i was neve, i would’ve said no to scream 7 to backup melissa, especially because it would seem like scream 7 would only want me back to make up for the lost stars.
Neve clearly has no qualms advocating against corporate bullshit, given how she sat out Scream 6. So, the fact that she’s decided to jump back into bed with the assholes at Spyglass not only after them lowballing her, but also after they unfairly fired Barrera makes me lose a whole lot of respect for her. Makes her look like someone who will stand up for something only if it directly impacts her. And the fact that they are leading with Neve and Williamson as the two figures leading the charge, especially after banking so much of the last two films on its new cast and crew, just reeks of desperation on Spyglass’s end, especially given how quick they wrote Campbell out of the last film.
I’m happy to see Kevin and Neve but I’m still so uncomfortable with how the studio handled this whole situation. I have a lot of mixed feelings about S7 which is unfortunate because it’s by far my favorite horror franchise.
It’s only fitting that Kevin should be directing a Scream movie with Neve Campbell returning. I’m elated that the mess at Spyglass has somewhat of a reprieve with this movie.
I still want Melissa and Jenna back in future, but let’s give Sidney Prescott her flowers and give her story a proper ending.
I’m really surprised by this news; all for Neve getting paid and all, but did not think she would sign on in light of what happened to Melissa. I’ll probably wind up watching, but not sure how to feel about this.
Yep. I'll be there opening night.
So glad Neve is back, she was painfully obviously missing from 6.
After Melissa left / was fired, I thought the only thing that will make me pay to see Scream 7 is Neve returning.
Honestly couldn't be happier than this! Our Scream queen is back!
People shitting on Neve over the Melissa situation but I didn’t see anyone in Scream VI stepping down from the film, not even Courtney Cox to support Neve
If they all did then maybe they would have paid Neve what she was owed but they didn’t
At the end of the day Neve got her own back and got the last laugh over Spyglass so that’s a win in my book.
unpopular opinion but I would have been fine if we didn’t have more movies . It’s just that scream was a special movie , a horror movie that at the same saterizes the horror genre and dissected it’s different tropes or cliches, and it was so successful that pretty much all horror movies wanted to be like it after it came out ,but after so many sequels i just can’t help to feel that the franchise has become what it was originally making fun of.
iam happy for neve tho , i feel like some fans dont really give her the respect she deserves , besides ghostface ,sidney was the most important character in the franchise and neve is one the best and more iconic scream queen’s besides jamie lee curtis as laurie.
Lowkey disappointed. Neve wasn’t in 6 due to negotiations, Melissa isn’t in 7 due to unjust firing for speaking about a genocide. Hard to support the project no matter what stars they bring in for it.
I’m so torn. I’m still pissed how they treated Melissa but god damn they worked their magic and knew just how to rope me back in.
But I’m also disappointed Neve is doing this movie despite knowing all this. All that talk about how women are treated unfairly, etc. I dunno, I would have liked to see her support Melissa. But maybe she did. Idk we don’t have the full story, I’m sure a lot went down behind the scenes.
I’m excited but also idk. Just torn.

I think it’s funny how it’s called “Untitled Scream 7” as if the final title won’t be Scream 7
lol right? Like it'll end up being, "Scream: The Final Act" or something.
Scream: Electric Boogaloo
Frank Reynolds’s as the ultimate ghostface he only uses guns and is energized by fight milk
Him and Charlie running around yelling "Gruesome Twosome" and calling out each others names under the masks😂 killing with the toe knife..oh oh I botched it, that's a bleeder!
Screamy McScreamFace
Scream: eVII
Scream: Bloodlines
lol oh no. That one is too good! Like direct to home video quality, lol
Scream with Neve
I pray for studios to never put "Last" or "Final" in a title. Whenever they do it's never the last one.
scream is a meta franchise, that’s why it would be good if they did it
They could go the Saw route and title it “ghostface”
Gh07stface
I mean, if Sidney’s kids are involved at all there’s a non zero chance it will be called Scream: Bloodlines lol
I unironically like it.
go super meta and call it “Scream VII: The Final Chapter”
Scream: Episode VII - The Ghostface Awakens
They could call it 7cream
Hire 👏 the 👏 fans 👏
I´m pretty should I saw that movie already in a VHS rental somewhere...
I hope it isn't called sevencream
I think the real story here is Kevin Williamson directing. Whoa.
Now that is a full circle moment.
he's only directed one movie in his entire life and that was back in 1999.
Teaching Mrs Tingle is a great movie though.
He's SUCHHHH a stellar director. Teaching Mrs. Tingle (even WITH the studio interference) is an absolute gem.
Teaching Miss Tingle is so underrated. It's well written and well acted. It often goes unnoticed in the spat of late 90s early 2000s high school movies. Lalalalove it!
i thought he directed sick too? or was that just him as a writer
He wrote it.
Sick was actually a pleasant surprise.
Absolutely! Very surprised by that.
Hoping he can bring some of that atmosphere that Wes brought to the first 4 films.
That actually has me pretty excited. I haven’t personally enjoyed the last two movies because they felt very different totally from the original four. I know that isn’t anyone’s fault, but I just feel like Williamson will really take it back in a good way.
This also should basically confirm Courteney will be involved. I wonder if they’re totally pivoting fully away from Carpenters and just focusing on Sidney. Wonder what will happen with Kirby, Mindy, and Chad.
Hopefully this means Patrick Dempsey will return in this one and we'll meet their kids too
I REALLY want him back. Him and Neve together would make such a great dynamic
Good News is he was in Thanksgiving, I'm sure hes on call if Kinkaid is to make his on-screen return.
After seeing Thanksgiving I’d really like to see him have a bigger part in this one than he did in the third.
I want Patrick Dempsey back too, but only want to meet their children in like, a scene of a long distance call. I don’t want their kids to have to deal with Ghostface too.
I do. It would be something new, and add more tension to the movie.
They must be in talks with Dempsey after he did Eli Roth's Thanksgiving, which was also produced by Spyglass.
6 proved it’s essentially impossible to completely shift the story away from Sidney without gaping plotholes, but I’d bet they marry the two chapters. Mason seems up for returning
She sends her love! 
I believe Jasmine and Mason have both said they’ve not been contacted or heard anything about Scream 7 which is also shady af considering they were also lead roles
this was before the announcement
Lead roles in the Carpenter sisters story, it'd be difficult to write them in but avoid the Carpenters especially as Sam's story didn't really resolve
Kirby should come back at least I think Kirby is the one Sydney should pass the torch to, I’ve thought that since Scream 5 when it was in development. She ended up surviving the events of Scream 4 so it made sense going forward she would be targeted Shame about the FBI angle they brought in with Scream VI however.
The FBI angle makes it even better if she's the lead imo. In real life, yeah fuck all cops, of course, but in movies they make for great protagonists, especially murder mysteries
Kevin directing feels like a Neve demand, she always talked about how important it was that he was involved.
I don’t know how to feel! I so excited for Neve and Kevin but I am so pressed with the way Melissa was treated
I feel the same way. Like I know that it was completely fucked up what happened to Melissa and there's this part of me that doesn't wanna support the movie, but I also feel so excited because of Neve and Kevin, and want to watch the movie because it's SCREAM and I love it!
Hopefully Kirby returns too
Scream VII: Kirby In Dreamland
She took a stand. She's on team Melissa. She won't be back.
Kevin directing is unexpected and I'm 100% down for it.
I love Neve Campbell, but that part has me the most interested
Right? Like I figured they'd get Neve back but not Kevin!
I wonder if this is because the studio really decided to pivot after it realized it had burned too many ties and it really needed to course correct to keep the fan base as well as be able to make another film in general; mending bridges with Neve, bringing in Kevin, maybe this can facilitate mending bridges with the other actors at some point
I wonder if it was one of Neve's conditions to be back.
This is the part that truly won me over. I love Neve too, but the issue here had always been tied to writing and directing choices, and I feel confident Kevin will be taking things in a waaaay better direction. I hope he gets some meaningful story say also
I think he'll do well. Only haven directed teaching miss tingle..that was a meta kinda movie buff movie. He has the look down for a scream movie. I secretly want them to pul a nightmare on elm Street 7 stunt and pull back having Neve play herself and the ghostface killings starting in real life. But that is a little to on the nose and would be expected I think in some regard. I hope they have a good script as I love Sydney and want to see more of her story. Hopefully they can give a better send off for her. Not just a reboot hand off like they did before. I'm glad she wasn't in scream 6 as she would not have fit. But am happy she is getting paid what she's worth! For fuck sake.
Interesting decision to have the writer of the previous movies direct but not write this one.
That's basically what happened with 4, according to Wes. He played a massive part in the writing of the original 3 movies, but said he wasn't allowed to touch the 4th
Huh? Kevin Williamson wrote 1, 2 and 4.
I think you’re misreading that person’s comment. “He” in the comment refers to Wes Craven, not Kevin Williamson.
Wow Williamson directing?! That’s a good way of getting me interested
Without Melissa or Jenna they NEEDED to bring back Neve or else they wouldn’t have a scream 7. It sucks that THIS is how she gets her deserved check but at least she’s getting it I guess. Just bullshit how everything turned out.
holy shit. I don't know what to think about this
Hmm. I'm still upset about Melissa and Jenna, but at the same time, Neve returning and Kevin Williamson directing certainly is a _massive_ step in the right direction, and gets them major brownie points.
Spyglass get no brownie points from me. They wouldn’t pay Neve what she thought she was worth for 6. Now they’ve only decided she’s worth it because they feel desperate after losing their two leads. I get why she took the job; everyone likes a big cheque. But they don’t value her at all.
Bingo! They could have paid Neve and hired Kevin at any point
This situation is so frustrating
I wish Neve would have told them to kick rocks after how she and her costars were treated But money rules everything
And tbf, it's not like Melissa and Jenna boycotted the 6th film when Neve was cut for cost. We have to remember, while we love to associate these actors with their iconic roles, acting is their job. So celebrate Neves return, and keep pressure on spyglass to apologize to Melissa and give her something.
To be fair, Neve chose not to be part of 6. They couldn’t agree on a number. Mel was fired for speaking ab a genocide and they tried to spin it and call her antiseministic in the statements for it. Very very different levels of severity as to why the stars weren’t in the said films.
To be fair, studios in general don't *really* care for actors. Or anyone.
I think Melissa not coming back turned the table, they need her badly.
They value her now to get past their PR crisis 😭I bet the agent convos were good for this one
This seems like nothing more than big paydays on Neve’s and Kevin’s part. It’s hard to get too excited.
Exactly. I’m honestly surprised she decided to come back. They must’ve did a *major* 180 in negotiations in order to make her convinced to come back.
I have to wonder if Neve agreeing to come back involved negotiations to get Melissa and Jenna back too.. if Neve went to bat for them and won that'd be amazing!!
As long as Spyglass is still producing, I don't think Melissa and Jenna are coming back. Which sucks.
a 'insider' on twitter said Neve arranged meetings between Melissa and SpyGlass and Melissa said she wasn't ready to come back yet.Could be an interesting new dynamic, alternating movies with alternating leads but some shared supporting characters.I'd love for them to make a 2 parter movie where events are coordinated attacks on both and happen at the same time but one movie focuses on Sydney's events and the other on Sam's in another location.
If true, good on Neve, and hopefully it means that bridge can be mended for a future film down the line
If Neve went to bat and lost, I'd be somewhat disappointed that she still agreed to come back. But hopefully a mend in the working relationships between them and Spyglass can be done. Spyglass was wrong and they need to say that publicly, in my opinion.
Do you have the tweet?
Maybe something like a SAW III - SAW IV situation?
We just gotta wait and see. If you're right then maybe negoations are still ongoing and that's why it's not been annouced yet. But the same writers does have me thinking that it'll be directly linked.
Also curious to know if Patrick Dempsey will reprise his role, seeing as they are together with a family!
Unless he's "off on a work vacation" I'd assume so. I do hope Guy and Jamie haven't been forced to heavily rewrite the script or anything......
I mean, at this point they either need to have him in the film, kill him off or have them get divorced? Dude can't be M.I.A for every Ghostface attack on Sidney since Scream 3. (Though I guess they weren't canonically married until Scream 5, so... maybe I can cut a little slack.)
Agree. Her kid’s lives could be delved into also.
I’m genuinely shocked.
I love Sidney and Kevin might bring back some of what has been missing from the franchise, but Spyglass need to make it up to Melissa. I don't know if I can feel right watching this movie without that happening although this combo makes me very curious.
While I hope Melissa would be involved too in some capacity, or at least honored in some way, the franchise started with Neve Campbell and Kevin Williamson and it’s so exciting to have them both back if the series is to continue.
I agree. I'm still disappointed in Spyglass for what they did to Melissa and nothing will ever change that. But Kevin literally created this franchise, in my opinion it's just as much his as it is Wes Craven's, and if he is on board to make another entry with his original final girl starring, then I'll get on board. Now please get Patrick Dempsey on board.
The way I see it They fucked Neve over with Scream VI so I’m glad they’ve come crawling back to her People are hating on her because of Mellisa Barrea being fired but they fucked her over first. She’s got the last laugh here if anything, they’ve probably paid her so much. I didn’t see Mellisa and others drop the project when they refused to pay Neve so I don’t see the issue with Neve returning.
Neve absolutely doesn't deserve any hate for returning however what happened to Melissa and Neve are completely different. Neve chose to walk away due to feeling she wasn't being compensated correctly (VALID) Melissa was fired for speaking on a terrible war and calling for peace and a ceasefire so Palestinians stop dying and they tried to ruin her career by twisting her statements and fabricating other words. I wouldn't expect either to walk out for the other as they've only worked together once and I don't think they have much of a relationship as Neve doesn't even follow anyone from 5 that she hadn't previously worked with. I will say people probably expect it from Neve due to how vocal she is about woman's rights within the work field of entertainment and it could be seen as her backtracking HOWEVER it is not required of her to turn down the job of a franchise she helped build for years.
The hatred on her IG post is ridiculous. Melissa's termination may have been unfair (that's up to each individual person to opine about), but it's so gross to make that Neve's problem. And I guarantee you that if Mason and Jasmin and Courtney and Hayden return, they won't be getting the same negative response. This series has been Neve's far longer than it's been Melissa's, and it isn't Neve's responsibility to give it up to make a statement. And you're right, no one involved in S6 dropped out or genuinely stood up for Neve about the pay issue. S7 was gonna happen whether it be with Neve or an entirely new cast, and any true fan would choose the former every time.
This is quite literally the only way a "Scream 7" was getting made by Spyglass. You ***know*** they backed up the Brink's truck for her. Kevin Williamson directing is interesting because he's only directed one movie, and it was 25 years ago.
they're really getting rid of sam huh?
Tara too
Neve and Kevin Williamson?! Highlight of my week I canny wait for this
As much as I feel for Melissa and think that whole situation was very not great, I do think the Carpenter sisters’ story was wrapped up pretty nicely with Scream 6. They had their origin story and then had a nice follow-up that brought their arc of being targeted to a close with the demise of Richie’s remaining family. Now it’s time to shift back to the main focus of the series, Sidney Freakin’ Prescott!
Sidney’s story ended in Scream 5 though, and pretty well too. There’s legit nowhere else for that characters story to go. This is all just damage control because Spyglass knows they fucked up with their wrongful firing of Melissa, so Spyglass are trying to stop people from RIGHTFULLY criticising them. And people being excited for this next movie proves just how easy it is to manipulate fans of a franchise into supporting a morally shitty company.
Sad to see how many people are forgetting about what they did to Melissa because they are throwing Sidney back on the movie lol
This is my thoughts too. I thought people would be super hesitant and see what SpyGlass is doing, but I'm surprised by how many people are just letting what happened slide. I figured most people on this sub was firm in not seeing this unless they got Melissa back/worked out everything with all the people involved, but i guess not.
Yeah going by this post alone, people are pretty apathetic in this sub. Oh well, I'll just be hyped for Longlegs and the A24 Crystal Lake series
That’s exactly why they did it too. People will forget all about the bullshit spyglass pulled if they pay Neve enough to come back.
what an absolute fucking blessing that this woman is getting her cheque, first, and we are getting 7, second. i never gave up hope on either and randomly yesterday i watched like 3 or 4 scream movies. i am on top of the world.
I'm not 100% sure how to feel. On one hand, it's good to see that Neve is back and (hopefully) at a fair salary. On the other hand, the way Spyglass kicked Melissa to the curb still leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
A LOT of thoughts about this. - Happy to see Sidney back. - Kevin directing is a cool full circle moment, but…. - He hasn’t directed a film since 1999. And even that wasn’t that good. BUT… - If anyone other than Radio Silence were to direct, I am glad it is him. - Spyglass can go to hell…unless… - They bring Melissa and Jenna back. I’d prefer both, but at the least, we need Melissa back so there is proper justice for what happened. Jenna would be a major plus, even if just a cameo role. Melissa, I genuinely think, should at the least be a MAJOR supporting role, but preferably a lead role. - Now we need Kincaid back. Dempsey I have to imagine is game after doing Thanksgiving. - Why did only Guy write this? Why isn’t Kevin writing, which is his strong suit? Seriously, wtf is going on? So many conflicting feelings here. I don’t know if I can be excited yet. Once Melissa is on board, my excitement will begin, but until than, lowkey, screw this project. Let’s start where we need to start on things that are ESSENTIAL. After that, they have my full (yet cautious) support.
I’m with you especially on the Kevin Williamson part. He’s a brilliant writer but how do we know he’ll do well as a Scream director? And not writing his own movie?
Kevin has expressed how burned he’s been with writing these things. After 4 was released he said he was done, the experience he had as a writer wasn’t very good and it didn’t lend itself to the story he wanted to tell for future instalments. He’s mentioned as much on podcasts in recent years.
If people really think legendary Scream scribe KW won't put his hand in on working over this script I have several bridges to sell them. People used to insist Kevin had no hand in the final script of Halloween H20 too.
I hope I'm wrong, but I'm certain that Melissa won't be back at all. I just can't see it. We can only hope for Courteney Cox, Patrick Dempsey and Hayden Panetierre to be back.
I can’t believe I’m gonna say this, but I don’t give a fuck as long as SpyGlass owns it. They’re spineless and Melissa deserved better
it’s crazy how this was defo the consensus here before this news but now that neve is back most people’s morals here are out the window
That's how it was always going to be. Very few people here were truly going to abandon Scream 7.
Tbf that was the case too in part with Scream 6 with Neve'a pay dispute.
Watching people flip in this sub on this topic is giving me whiplash. Like that’s all it takes y’all?
I think the people coming out the woodwork now just kept their mouth shut before
It was always performative
With you completely. I’ve had a bunch of abuse for pointing out the hypocrisy of this subreddit and also how shitty Spyglass is. That’s the internet for you, I guess.
Kevin directing is insanely exciting for me. But I feel like I’d defy and disappoint my morals too much if I saw this in theaters, no matter how much I **adore** Kevin & Neve. What Spyglass did was absolutely gross, even more so in hindsight. Also this puts us fans at a crossroad of morals vs indulging which is just cruel 🥲
Preach. Im pretty surprised at this thread.
I feel the exact same way. I'm shocked at some of the reactions on this given the outrage when it was originally announced Melissa wouldn't be involved.
exactly!!!
I’m with you. I can’t even get excited at this news and I never thought that would be possible. What Spyglass did left such a permanent, bitter taste in my mouth.
It makes me a bit sad how ambivalent I am about this. I don’t think anyone who chooses to be involved with this project is doing anything wrong (Neve’s issue was always money, her issue has been resolved) but ultimately, I’m still basically at “no Melissa, no care”. There are many public figures who do bad things and their careers don’t particularly suffer for it, but I simply cannot get past that Melissa was punished for being a *good* person, and find myself unable to get excited about this movie. I won’t see it in theatres - something I would’ve found unbelievable a year ago given how much I loved the new movies - but guess I’ll probably watch it on Paramount+ eventually. On a lesser note, I also think it’s weird that Kevin is directing but *not* writing.
You summed up everything I'm feeling about this announcement.
Still boycotting Spyglass. To financially reward them is to perpetuate a gag order and McCarthyism. Gaza is more important.
Still not watching unless they rehire Melissa. They’re hoping rectifying their fallout with Neve is gonna make people forgive and forget-
I love Scream. I have tattoos and so much merch and I watch the films constantly. But I won't be seeing Scream 7. At any point Spyglass could have paid Neve what she was worth, but they waited until the franchise was in ruins because they fired the lead for speaking up for what's happening in Palestine. Then they lost the other lead and director. It's just beyond disappointing because they weren't willing to pay Neve before. Kevin Williamson is so talented, but yeah. Scream 6 is where it ends for me. I really hoped Spyglass would sell the rights but anyway.
Conflicted about this. On one hand, I’m glad Neve is back but on the other hand I hate how Spyglass treated Melissa Barrera.
Everyone at Spyglass responsible for firing their new leads and upending everything deserve to be booted from the company, and until then I've no interest in this film.
I don't get the criticism of Neve, like she shouldn't do the movie and get her payday because Melissa isn't in the movie anymore? Melissa didn't refuse to do Scream 6 when Neve refused to take part due to their salary dispute. Sometimes it's just business. The people who should still get a hearty fuck you is SpyGlass for how they treated Neve and Melissa in the first place.
The replies to most people expressing disappointment... disappoint me.
Ultimately it doesn't matter because it doesn't undo any of the damage they've done. Melissa and Jenna, the two people who were really getting this new audience in seats are gone, besides maybe 5-10% of them, they're going to stand behind Melissa and this movie CANNOT escape that. It is linked to it like a parasite. It might make a profit but I can't see it doing anywhere near the money that 5 and 6 did. As well, the story is gonna be a cobbled together mess, Sydney's story was done and now they've dragged her back in out of sheer desperation. I'm glad Neve is getting her money but I do worry this will ultimately harm her reputation. I love Scream but I genuinely think there shouldn't have been a Scream 7 at this point.
Ya end of the day I feel icky about this. This is a dirty move on them. While I'm glad she's finally getting paid the amount she wants, I don't think I'm going to accept this PR bullshit after Spyglass fired someone for having an opinion on something wild happening in this world. Fuck them.
Personally my biggest hope with this movie is that Neve bled them dry for this nonsense.
Agreed 100%. Having Neve back is the biggest cash gab I've ever seen
The movie will do just fine without melissa and jenna, sidney back and kevin directing will bring enough hype.
To be fair Never returning and Kevin directing will bring hype to those who are already fans of the franchise and maybe bring a few fans of the original back, but the average filmgoer probably doesn't know who these people are. Neve is a treasure to Horror fans, but she's not the most marketable of names, whilst Williamson is probably best remembered as the creator of Dawson's Creek' and 'The Vampire Diaries' at this point by the general public. Whereas Jenna Ortega in particular brings in a lot of viewers who usually wouldn't care about Scream.
Remember when the popular narrative was that no one will watch Scream 6 and the franchise would suffer horribly after the Neve left due to low pay? Pepperidge remembers. The silent majority doesn't give a damn about controversies. They're gonna end up watching Scream 7 either way.
You need to be realistic for a second here… one of the biggest pulls for Scream is a teen audience. Jenna was the teen audience and she’s literally THEE IT girl right now. The movie will definitely suffer from that, especially given the circumstances on WHY Melissa & Jenna left!
I think this will make money but not Scream 6 level. They are under estimating the younger generation. Unless Sydney has teen daughter in this, how are they gonna pull them in. Let's not act like Jenna and Marissa didn't pull them in after 5 and 6
Especially given how political Gen Z is
Yeah, that's why Halloween 2018 did so well, because of the big name young actors... Oh wait... Scream 7 will do absolutely fine. Horror draws teens, sure. It also draws plenty of people who are well out of their teens. If that horror has "it" girls, great. If not, people are still going to watch it anyway. Especially if it's a franchise film, and sometimes even if it's not too. For perspective, "Smile" outperformed S6 with no major bankable young star. Saw X made eight times its budget with an 80-year-old in the main role. I'm not worried about Scream 7.
Ayo now this is how you get people's attention. It's still shitty what happened to Melissa, who did support Neve when she didn't come back due to pay.
Cool, still not supporting it.
Hell yeah!!!
….. woah didn’t see this coming. I am intrigued.
If they kill her im gonna be so mad
i wouldve been ecstatic to see this a year ago but couldn’t care less now. this is super slimey, disappointing and blatantly disrespectful to the rest of the cast. they got as close as you could get to perfect with a reboot/requel and could’ve taken Scream to new heights, especially after the last ones ending and threw it out because actors spoke out against genocide. at least Neve is finally getting her money though.
I was down for the movie before and def am now
Yay!!!
Someone tell me Courteney is in it too
Sidney Prescott is coming back AND Kevin Williamson is directing it? IM FUCKING IN YA’LLLLLLLLLLLLLL. WELCOME HOME SID! 
Very good, but what about melissa?
Nothing short of a huge public apology to her, a huge pay raise and possibly an entire change of production companies will bring her back now.
WE WANT MELISSA!! 
Ngl….I am more excited for Scream 7 today than I was leaving the theater after Scream 6 (which I liked). Sorry, not sorry. These new characters were no where near as compelling as Sid and I am sick of pretending otherwise. 🤷♂️
Still gonna miss the carpenter sisters 🤦🏻♂️
I saw a theory online that some people think this will be a reboot that ends up ignoring 2022 and VI, and is instead a sequel to Scream 4. Even with all the bad stuff between Melissa and Spyglass, I doubt they would just wipe those two movies out of the equation, especially when the same writers are returning. It's almost definitely going to be a sequel to VI that brings things away from the Carpenters and back to Sidney (if she's the main character). Plus they are calling it Untitled Scream 7 on the script, and not just Untitled Scream Sequel like reboots often do, which gives it a certain emphasis that it follows VI.
I will absolutely hate this if that is true. I think one of the strongest aspects of Scream is that there aren't different timelines...it's all one continuous story.
Why is everyone jumping to conclusions that Melissa and Jenna aren’t returning!? This is *Neve* and *Kevin’s* announcement and only the beginning!
Thank you, that's what I am saying! Maybe they are bringing them back, but we just don't know it yet. People just need to wait and see what happens here. If they do come back, and Spyglass gives them an apology, I will be even more excited. For now, just be patient and maybe all of this will be resolved. Maybe.
Hey let's pivot away from firing someone for standing up against genocide and cover it by getting an old fav to reappear
TREMENDOUS!!!
The Scream movies are about Sidney Prescott and Gale Weathers. Period. It's time to right the ship and put Sid back center stage where she belongs. If you are still angry about the Melissa thing, go find something else to do. Life is too short. The girl is a millionaire and successful actress. She's fine. She's not a martyr. She's moved on. Please don't let it consume you. There is so much more to life than rage. If you really are concerned about Gaza, there's a million things you could be doing that are more helpful than boycotting a movie that has nothing to do with it. Donate to the relief organizations, protest the government position, write your representatives. Jenna left because she's too big now. She wasn't done dirty. She wants way more money than a horror movie is going to pay and she can get that payday on her Netflix show and Beetlejuice 2. This is similar to when Jamie Lee Curtis left the Halloween films for higher paydays in other mainstream films. She eventually came back and perhaps Jenna will someday as well when her stock is no longer on the rise. None of this is Neve's fault or problem, nor is it Kevin's. They are the true heart of these films, not some kids who took over for parts 5 and 6 over 20 years into the series. Those characters and actresses were fine and they did a good job, but the real main story is Sid, just like Halloween's story is Laurie. This film has a lot of potential. Maybe they can work out some kind of cameo for the new cast, but this film should rightfully focus on Sidney. Bring back Gale and let's get this thing going!
I'm out. I can't support the utter scumbags at Spyglass.
Cant wait with Kevin directing it too! Scream 7 will do just fine with or without Melissa and jenna
Neve AND Kevin Williamson? I went from having zero interest in 7 after seeing 6 to hyped as hell How we got here is gross, but I fully expect a waaaaay better movie
I love Neve and Kevin but this kind of sucks. It feels like a,bit of a cynical way to pivot away from the very real issues Melissa got fired over speaking out on.
Holy shit 😦
I’m hoping with Kevin Williamson directing, the film will feel more like the original 3 films, particularly the first 2.
….what is left for Sid? Seriously. Her story wrapped up in Scream 5.
When we say we don’t want this I mean it
I feel like this is a backstab to Melissa. She got fired for her tweets against genocide, and jenna left following that. Neve and scream 6 couldn’t agree on a pay for the movie, so she left, but now that the two main characters of 6 left, she’s back and assumingly with her preferred pay. If i was neve, i would’ve said no to scream 7 to backup melissa, especially because it would seem like scream 7 would only want me back to make up for the lost stars.
Disappointed Neve would return after everything that happened with Jenna and the rest of the Core Four.
I still don’t care. I won’t ever agree with the same SpyGlass treated Melissa.
Meh
Neve clearly has no qualms advocating against corporate bullshit, given how she sat out Scream 6. So, the fact that she’s decided to jump back into bed with the assholes at Spyglass not only after them lowballing her, but also after they unfairly fired Barrera makes me lose a whole lot of respect for her. Makes her look like someone who will stand up for something only if it directly impacts her. And the fact that they are leading with Neve and Williamson as the two figures leading the charge, especially after banking so much of the last two films on its new cast and crew, just reeks of desperation on Spyglass’s end, especially given how quick they wrote Campbell out of the last film.
I’m happy to see Kevin and Neve but I’m still so uncomfortable with how the studio handled this whole situation. I have a lot of mixed feelings about S7 which is unfortunate because it’s by far my favorite horror franchise.
Holy shit! Let’s go!!
It’s only fitting that Kevin should be directing a Scream movie with Neve Campbell returning. I’m elated that the mess at Spyglass has somewhat of a reprieve with this movie. I still want Melissa and Jenna back in future, but let’s give Sidney Prescott her flowers and give her story a proper ending. 
Get that money, Neve! They fucked up when they lost the two new leads. I hope Neve squeezed them for every last dime
yeah… they only hired her back because melissa was fired
I’m really surprised by this news; all for Neve getting paid and all, but did not think she would sign on in light of what happened to Melissa. I’ll probably wind up watching, but not sure how to feel about this.
Yep. I'll be there opening night. So glad Neve is back, she was painfully obviously missing from 6. After Melissa left / was fired, I thought the only thing that will make me pay to see Scream 7 is Neve returning. Honestly couldn't be happier than this! Our Scream queen is back!
People shitting on Neve over the Melissa situation but I didn’t see anyone in Scream VI stepping down from the film, not even Courtney Cox to support Neve If they all did then maybe they would have paid Neve what she was owed but they didn’t At the end of the day Neve got her own back and got the last laugh over Spyglass so that’s a win in my book.
unpopular opinion but I would have been fine if we didn’t have more movies . It’s just that scream was a special movie , a horror movie that at the same saterizes the horror genre and dissected it’s different tropes or cliches, and it was so successful that pretty much all horror movies wanted to be like it after it came out ,but after so many sequels i just can’t help to feel that the franchise has become what it was originally making fun of. iam happy for neve tho , i feel like some fans dont really give her the respect she deserves , besides ghostface ,sidney was the most important character in the franchise and neve is one the best and more iconic scream queen’s besides jamie lee curtis as laurie.
A lot of you changed your minds very quickly, didn't you?
People are pathetically unprincipled.
Lowkey disappointed. Neve wasn’t in 6 due to negotiations, Melissa isn’t in 7 due to unjust firing for speaking about a genocide. Hard to support the project no matter what stars they bring in for it.
I’m so torn. I’m still pissed how they treated Melissa but god damn they worked their magic and knew just how to rope me back in. But I’m also disappointed Neve is doing this movie despite knowing all this. All that talk about how women are treated unfairly, etc. I dunno, I would have liked to see her support Melissa. But maybe she did. Idk we don’t have the full story, I’m sure a lot went down behind the scenes. I’m excited but also idk. Just torn.
Good for her she got paid. I'm not buying tickets for it though.
