Neve Campbell won’t be in the sixth film. “Scream”film, but Sidney Prescott is still being named in the franchise. Jenna Ortega, who headlined 2022’s “Scream”Tara Carpenter returns for the sixth installment. Entertainment TonightSidney will be mentioned in many scenes of the new movie despite Campbell’s decision to leave the film due to a pay offer that she felt was disrespectful to her contribution to the long-running horror franchise.
“I feel like I can’t really speak too much on that just because it’s not necessarily my character,” Ortega said when asked about Campbell’s surprise exit. “But I will say there’s so much going on in this next one, that it’s so action-heavy and so gore-heavy that I think you’re gonna be distracted almost.”
Ortega continued, “But it’s very clear, like, there’s references to Sidney, of course. You know, it’s nice because there’s still a protectiveness in the script and that’s something that the actors had naturally over her because obviously we respect her and we want the best for her. She’s missed and thought of.”
Campbell announced June 6 that she would not be returning for the sixth “Scream”film, which was the first time she wasn’t in it. The actor accepted the role of star in “Scream 6”Not properly “equate”Because of the added value she brings to the franchise. CampbellPeople were later informedthat she believed her offer would not have come in so low if she were a man.
“I did not feel that what I was being offered equated to the value that I bring to this franchise, and have brought to this franchise, for 25 years,”Campbell stated. “And as a woman in this business, I think it’s really important for us to be valued and to fight to be valued.”
Campbell added: “I honestly don’t believe that if I were a man and had done five installments of a huge blockbuster franchise over 25 years, that the number that I was offered would be the number that would be offered to a man. And in my soul, I just couldn’t do that. I couldn’t walk on set feeling that — feeling undervalued and feeling the unfairness, or lack of fairness, around that.”
Ortega stars in “Scream 6”Alongside Melissa Barrera, Jasmin Svoy Brown, and Mason Gooding, who all debuted in the 2022 entry that grossed $140m worldwide. Courtney Cox, a franchise staple, will also be returning. The movie will follow the survivors of the fifth movie’s fifth film as they attempt to start a new chapter in New York City. Ortega teased the film earlier this summer by calling it the bloodiest “Scream”You can still enter.
Jasmin Savoy Brown toldVarietyearlier this year that she respected Campbell for walking away from the franchise due to a low offer, adding, “I think that it’s hard to be a woman in this industry and in any industry at all. If any person, but especially any woman, feels that she deserves more — whether that’s a financial situation with work, out of a relationship, out of fill in the blank — if she can walk away, I support that.”
Paramount Pictures has announced a release date of March 31, 2023 for Paramount Pictures “Scream 6.”
