I’m not thrilled Melissa Barrera was fired from Scream 7, however the movie remains to be occurring, regardless that I’m not fairly certain what’s occurring with it (you’ll see what I imply). For context, in November 2023, franchise lead Barrera (Sam Carpenter) was fired by manufacturing firm Spyglass Media Group for her feedback on the continuing disaster in Palestine. A month later, director Christopher Landon dropped out of the movie, and Scream 7 gave the impression to be going to approach of Stu Macher (extra on that later). The place there’s a will, there’s a approach.
It wasn’t till March 2024 that franchise star Neve Campbell—who was absent from Scream 6—confirmed she could be returning for a retooled Scream 7, now directed by franchise scribe Kevin Williamson from a script by Man Busick who co-wrote the earlier two films. What precisely would this new Scream be? How would they take care of the absence of Tara and Sam? I nonetheless don’t have solutions to that as a result of with each new casting announcement, the extra inexplicable this venture turns into. And possibly that’s the purpose? Learn on to see the most recent in who’s again, who’s new, and what to anticipate with Scream 7.
Acquainted Faces
The primary confirmed casting information was Campbell’s position as Sidney Prescott. Whereas she was absent from the earlier movie, the wage right here was apparently sufficient to encourage her to return. Months later in December 2024, Core 4 member Mason Gooding (Chad Meeks-Martin) signed on to reprise his position, joined by Courteney Cox, now the one important Scream participant to look in each franchise entry.
Earlier this 12 months, Roger L. Jackson confirmed his return because the basic voice of Ghostface, and Jasmin Savoy Brown (Mindy Meeks-Martin) confirmed her return as effectively. Whereas preliminary hypothesis instructed a tough pivot away from the tales of Scream and Scream 6, Brown and Gooding’s return suggests Scream 7 can be tying up some free Scream 6 ends. These gamers are not less than all alive. This 12 months, Scream star Matthew Lillard and Scream 3 star Scott Foley had been additionally introduced to return. In what capability stays unclear, however you possibly can see the place I’ve now obtained no concept what on earth this film goes to be about. Is it Kevin Williamson’s cult of Ghostface? Is Emma Roberts going to be secretly returning? May we be in retailer for Kevin Williamson’s New Scream?
New Victims (or Killers)
Alongside the cavalcade of acquainted faces, a number of newcomers can be becoming a member of the Scream 7 solid. Isabel Could was solid in November of final 12 months as Sidney Prescott’s daughter, and Joel McHale (Ship Us From Evil, wager you forgot about that) was solid later as Prescott’s husband, placing to mattress the longstanding “Mark Kincaid is her husband” rumors. Celeste O’Connor, Asa Germann, Mckenna Grace, Sam Rechner, and Anna Camp additionally signed on in December for undisclosed roles.
Only recently, Mark Consuelos and Ethan Embry joined the solid. Scream 7 is a giant world, it appears, and with filming now underway, there’s an opportunity a couple of extra stunning casting bulletins make their technique to the trades quickly.
