To be expected after they fired her friend.

They fired her sister on Scream (Sam). Apparently she kept tweeting pro Palestinian quips.

From what I read, the straw that broke the camels back was a post about Jews controlling Hollywood stereotype. I can see how it’s in bad taste, but they pretty much reinforced the stereotype by firing her from Hollywood

”This week actress Melissa Barrera apologized for her statements on instagram pertaining to the Israel-Palestine conflict. Among those that ‘Jews run the media and entertainment industry.’ Jewish leaders have since accepted Barrera’s apology and announced that she is now free to work again.”

Yeah and Jenna is too, considering they moved their laser focused on the two sisters now especially after fricking over Neve in Scream 6 I can’t imagine what they’ll do now. No Sydney and no Carpenter sisters just leaves Gale and the twins

Moving away from the old cast was the right move.

She has way more star power and clout than Dave Bautista. She should’ve done the Dave Bautista thing and said rehire this person or I’m walking.

Good. Her and her sister should have been killed in Scream 6.

Spyglass fricked themselves. That franchise is dead now.

They've certainly painted themselves into a corner. Scream 5 was meant to introduce new leads to the franchise while Scream VI was supposed to cement them as the next generation. With the two leads departing the franchise (one against her will) after two very successful movies, they're definitely going to have to course correct. Either you re-cast Sam and Tara or restore Neve Campbell as the face of the franchise. Though I don't know if audiences will care to watch a 50-year-old Sidney Prescott and 60-year-old Gale Weathers fighting teenagers dressed in Ghostface costumes.

Will Neve even want to go back after they screwed her out of the last one b/c they were too damn cheap to pay her salary?

Here's a fix, re-hire Kevin Williamson, have him use his original idea for scream 3 and bring stu back as the mastermind behind copycat ghostfaces across the world. Have the internet be the soundboard and have Stu be the mastermind. It all goes back to Sydney and Gale finally gets done in. Bring back the line "I always had a thing for ya Syd!"

presto.

Smart move on her part. Scream needs to shut up for good.

Something is not quite right for sure. It sounds like it could have breakdowns in negotiations because this article from Variety states Barrera and Ortega were only signed on for 2 movies.

quote:

James Vanderbilt and Guy Busick, the writers of the previous two “Scream” installments, will now work on a fresh draft to present to filmmakers. Some set pieces and twists may be preserved, but the movie will need to find new protagonists. Ortega and Barrera signed on for two “Scream” movies and fulfilled those obligations with installments five and six, another source noted. They would have needed new deals for the seventh chapter.
