dman4life Posted June 6, 2022 Posted June 6, 2022 It's a business move they probably lowballed her on purpose so she could make the decision to not return to this one. They're gonna need some major hype for the final installment and that's when they're gonna throw the entire bank at her!
UnusualBoy Posted June 6, 2022 Posted June 6, 2022 How long can they drag the franchise? or they'll get to the point where Ghostface is immortal like most of the slashers

okgo Posted June 6, 2022 Posted June 6, 2022 (edited) Creatively this could be a positive thing (or not have any impact considering it doesn't feel like she'd be playing a big role anyway...) as long as they leave Sidney alone and living her best life off screen. We'll see what they come up with. But I just know the studio would never do this to a legacy male lead character of a similar franchise if they felt they deserved a bigger paycheck for a 5 min cameo. Typical Hollywood, I want the franchise to keep going but honestly I can't be too sad if it bites them in the ass.

Expand And that’s why the movies should have ended on the third film leaving us with the iconic OG trilogy only. There is no story without THE scream queen herself and whenever the films aren’t focused on Sidney, the quality significantly declines. That’s why 4 and 5 are the worst films in the series!
Jay07 Posted June 6, 2022 Posted June 6, 2022 (edited) They better give Kirby a pretty juicy role after this. No 5 minute cameo where she gets killed in the end. Edited June 6, 2022 by Jay07

Gesamtkunstwerk Posted June 6, 2022 Posted June 6, 2022 I understand, Scream 5 just radiated Riverdale energy, acting and writing wise.

Because she won't work as an organic lead/ultimate final girl now (even if she technically has been one too) when she's from Sidney's OG series and assuming Sidney is still alive somewhere off screen (if they dare to kill her off screen then they might as well just kill the franchise too). If they really want to move on from the OG for the sake of the franchise's future then the focus has to be on new characters.

BlackStar_93 Posted June 6, 2022 Posted June 6, 2022 Good for her. Scream 5 was so stale and predictable. The original characters were awkwardly shoehorned into the plot, and the new generation of Woodsboro characters lacked any of the empathetic and interesting qualities of the originals. They literally got so much of the iconic original cast back yet they pretty much demoted them all to filler/sub-plot characters.
