Scream 7

Apparently the main lady from the last two movies has been "quietly" dropped because she supports Hamas.

I've expected her to be sacked for supporting Israel, but apparently there is still some sanity exists.

I wouldn’t be surprised if both sides basically make up after some time passes and they come back.

No main chick, no Neve, now no Ortega? There's no movie, then. They have to just shelve the whole thing. Maybe they can try it again in a year.

They don't have a movie anymore. No Neve, no lead actress, and not even Ortega. Probably they were scrambling to cheaply come up with some crap that didn't involve Neve and neither of the others. Good luck.

There are a few ways they could squeeze surprising crap out of this series but they continually refuse to. Also, hinging the last two movies on an actress now calling for eradicating Jews from Israel IRL really has them in a pickle. Honestly I'd recast with a relative lookalike and continue from there. Jenna Ortega? They just need to wait for her to be available and then do it. Why the rush? Between the Neve thing and Ortega becoming big thing, it sounds like they want to just do this on the super cheap.

Personally, I want to see the Gail Weathers goes bonkers movie. But that's just me.

How the mighty hath fallen. It's funny, I was almost tempted to actually watch all the Scream movies because I never actually seen them (just spoofs), and also because I became a fan of Jenna Ortega last year after watching Wednesday.

Just a shame it had to go this way.

In a way this is a blessing. There will absolutely still BE a Scream 7, it just won't be this rushed-out-the-gate thing they were attempting. They can still wait for Ortega to free up and they can still dig a little deeper into the coffers for Neve. The only thing they're losing is their lead actress from 5 and 6 as I neither see an apology coming from the actress or an "OK, all is forgiven" coming from the higher ups... so no matter what course they go without her, it's not going to feel very organic to the last 2 unless they just recast. Which would be a series first.

*edit: It's probably worth noting that while Neve Campbell very publicly wasn't going to be in Scream 6.... there really hasn't been anything from Neve or the studio saying she wasn't going to be in 7. So for all we know she was tapped to be in it.

The only thing I know is the Scream series existed way before Ortega. I love Jenna but she's not an essential ingredient for the making of a Scream movie.

She brings a newer generation to the franchise, so there's that.

I'd call that essential.

Of course she's essential right now. All we have left of the old guard is Courtney Cox and Hayden Panetierre, really. And even Hayden is older now. Without the lead actress from 5 and 6 the only glue left that's youngish IS Ortega. And even if they brought back Neve as Sydney and made it all about her again, how will the last 2 feel organic?

Fair point. It's tricky, but I feel the only thing that can really salvage this is some kind of compromise.

As you said, this may be a blessing in disguise, so we'll see what happens.

So they've done really the only thing they can do under the circumstances if they're ruling out recasting the Hamas cheerleader lady and waiting for Ortega to become available again:

Neve Campbell is back, front and center.
