Neve Campbell has no others movies as big as Scream in her career and she will never book any future films of its caliber. The way she asked for more money for Scream 6 and they said NO.

 

 

And now she will be begging to get back into Scream 7 so she can pay her rent, but her paycheck will instead go to Jenna Ortega, an actual movie star.

 

 

 

[Bloodflowers.]

I said it for years how Friends actress Courtney Cox was the reason for Scream success all along from the start. Now with Scream 6, we will finally get receipts to back that up. Instagram followers between Neve and Courtney don't lie, I fear.

Again it is pretty obvious that Kirby was brought back to compensate for Neve's absence. Yes she was needed because again why wouldn't Sidney pop in if Gale is in danger and targeted again if that's who she left from the original survivors? what's up with the final girl erasure here all of the sudden? how would y'all feel if they don't include gale in the next one would you have the same energy?

I just want the writing to be good and for it to be entertaining with great chase sequences/kills. Personally I think Jenna Ortega is the future of these films, and it’s at a point now where Ghostface coming after a 50+ year old Sidney gets ridiculous. Honestly her story should have ended at 3.

 

Gale has always been given very little compared to Sidney (understandably) so I’m glad to see her get her own movie with 6. I’d like to see Neve come back for 7 but even if she didn’t, I’m fine with the Sam, Tara, Chad, and Gale taking it to the end. The way her character ended in 5 was perfect send off.

Nah, Neve didn't bring it in 5 AND the writing was lackluster for her character/return.

Well, how much can you 'BRING' with that kind of material?

Billy Loomis is her father, so atleast this will have an impact on her. We already know that she is struggling with her "dark side" and will be remembered how she killed Richie (the bloody knife) and apparently the GP will think that she was the mastermind of the events in Scream 2022, so seeing all of this will probably affect her. Definitely not as much as Sidney tho, but to be fair, we already had a similiar scene with her in Scream 3 and the Woodsboro movie set. Also: Gale and Kirby will be at the shrine, too. 

 

And the latter won't happen. Radio Silence already confirmed that Sidney will definitely be mentioned.

Billi Loomis has zero involvement in the events of 2,3,4. I can debate 2, since I guess Mrs Loomis is her grandma  

 

I still don't get the 'she was the mastermind in Scream 5'. Based on WHAT? Who thinks that? How will they make that a storyline? What happened to suggest she was the mastermind? Gale Weathers, a celebrity, was present. 6 more people can vouch for her. She would have been killed at the final act had Courtney, Sydney and Tara did not help her kill Richie and Amber. 

 

What impact do all those items have on Sam IN COMPARISON to what would have been Sydney walking into the shrine, seeing Tate's outfit, the theater props from Scream 2, the Stab items, Mrs Loomis outfit, the TV that killed Stu, Jill's outfit etc? NONE

Just because the movie will be successful without her doesn't mean she doesn't deserve to be paid exactly what she's worth. And she's worth A LOT as she IS the face of Scream, THE final girl and a legendary Scream Queen. 

 

Imagine having a Shrine scene with ALL the ghostfaces and easter eggs from all past movies and have ******* SAM be the center. How is that impactful for her? What impact does, having props and items from the events of Scream 2, 3 and 4, have on ******* SAM? It makes ZERO sense. 

 

If they completely avoid even mentioning Syndey's name in this movie, it will have a huge negative effect on all the true fans of the franchise. 

Sidney going through the Stab 3 set is basically the same as the shrine, so Sidney already has had a similar scene so it's no big deal.

[wantedyoutogrow]

Also lay that Neve talk to rest. She's not in the movie, it is what it is. Should she have been paid what she thinks she deserves? Yes, definitely but this franchise has to move on from Sidney.

 

And also Neve doesn't even like these movies and it's evident by her attitude and her performance (imo). It's just another paycheck to her so y'all are doing too much over nothing.

thank you!!! You spilled the real tea. Also who wants to see more Scream movies centered about Sidney being stalked for the nth time and always surviving? It got stale. Live your best life Sidney Prescott!

Expected, tbh. The bar is set WAY too low for these new kids. 

thank you! the fact that till this day that opening with drew barrymore still holds up shows you how well the movie is. also by comparison i had my brother watch 4 and 5 back to back. outside of the opening for 5 and dewey's death he preferred 4. he loved the meta opening, olivia's graphic ass death scene had him shook, and jill's reveal had him shook.

 

also other then the ig filter on 4 it honestly holds up really well. the commentary of franchises beating a dead horse dragging it with installments and then jill's motives were all so ahead of it's time. impact!

I had the exact same thoughts

 

y’all don’t even know in what context the shrine scene is gonna be used. Plus Radiosilence has focused more on dark humor. I doubt this will be a dramatic scene. 
 

OT I actually hope they keep elevating this and especially the motives. They can still mention the past, but we need to move forward. I will miss Sydney, but I hope they use the opportunity to give the franchise a new spin. 
 

Do we have any reviews yet of people from test screening or anything?

I vividly remember 4, it was really good outside of the filter

whereas 5 kinda forgotten tho some stuff were cool

You know what? All of these flops still saying Scream can’t go on without Sidney when we already know *Scream 6 is going to be the biggest opening for the franchise without Sidney*

 

.

 

My roommate doesn’t follow Scream that much and when I told him about the new Scream trailer weeks ago, he asked me “is Courtney Cox going to be in it?”

 

Gail’s impact is equal if not more than Sidney.

Love her, but both a Scream TV series and Scream movie have been made without Neve at this point. She is a huge part of Scream, but it could be argued Ghostface or Gale are just as important as Sidney at this point.

Neve was booking House of Cards at the time the Scream TV series was on  to say nothing of the fact that it was objectively awful …. why would she EVER agree to be on an insipid TV show based on a role/story she perfected ??  worms mama

 

i mean Gale is important yes and that’s why they brought her back , that’s why they also intended to bring Sidney back but wouldn’t pay Neve what she was asking for …. to be clear Sidney/Neve is the reason the entire series of events across 5 movies has transpired. there would be no psycho billy loomis and by extension Sam/Tara if it wasn’t for Sidney/her mom. if y’all like the movies as they are that’s fine but the amount of ppl just tying dumb **** in this thread just to be -ass contrarian twitter stan minded dumb dumbs is alarming

 

Scream 5 would have floooppoppppppppppped if they did not bring back the original trio. it would have flopped to oblivion. they owe that cast the legacy they are now piggybacking off and running away with and me thinks Scream 6 will prove just how aimless the series can be without it’s unequivocal rock (Sidney Prescott)

I'm still excited for the movie, and it does look really good, definitely miles better than the mediocrity that was 5. But just because the movie can be successful, doesn't mean Neve didn't deserve to be paid more.

I'm not mad that she's not in the movie, I'm still gonna watch and it and does look like a great movie, it's probably going to be in the Top 3 best Scream movies by the looks of it. And they still did Neve wrong. 

[Ampersand13]

Yeah, I think the hard fact is that multiple things can be true at once. I’m of course over the moon in anticipation for this film AND I will miss Neve. I think it’s okay to feel both genuine excitement and a little sadness for having an installment without our beloved heroine. 
 

Either way, I’m sure this is going to be a great entry into the franchise! 

[Julianna Calm Down]

Y’all so one dimensional in your analyses of everything. Perhaps it’s not one single thing that makes the scream movies successful and good, but the combination of factors. 
 

For me it’s the meta aspects, solid writing, the combination of different characters, the choice to kill drew off within the first ten minutes, the commentary alongside the horror, and the ever-tickling journey of who the killer is in the end. Neve, Courtney and David as a trio, solving these murders together, is the heart and soul for me so I think these characters disappearing will have an impact but it also creates room for a rebirth if done in a good and respectful

way. It’s a great opportunity to replace the “old” scream queen with a new rising star that is gaining popularity, and that has to be Jenna Ortega. The timing is right, and “replacing” Neve with Jenna at a time when Jenna is really popular is a a smart move and should contribute to the rebirth and further development of Scream as a franchise, rather than have it fizzle out because Neve and David are gone and not returning. But that can only happen if they can bring good writing to the table, and if they can develop the slasher concept in a modern way. Just like the first scream did when it was first released. 

[ConceptD]

I can’t with some of the Neve Campbell slander in the SCREAM thread. She is the franchise. Ghost face isn’t like Jason or Chucky and is a bit more like Michael Myers in the sense that it only really works with the actual final girl there, but Sidney is more important to scream than even Laurie is to Halloween honestly. If I were a mod you would all be BANNED.

Completely agree. The writing in 5 was complete bullshit tbh and I'm sorry, but Melissa is not good. If they go with Jenna as the final girl, then there may be something there.

Like, LITERALLY the reason Ghostface exist is because of Sydney

Well, that’s one perspective. The other perspective is that Ghostface exists because Billy and Stu were crazy psychos.
