It’s Rumored That Neve Campbell Has Successfully Negotiated Herself Back Into The “Scream” Franchise
Ghostface better watch their back, because Sidney Prescott might be after them again. Neve Campbell announced last month that she would not be in Scream 6 after Paramount Pictures tossed her an embarrassingly low offer during salary negotiations. Well, Paramount might have realized that they fucked up harder than Tatum Riley trying to escape through that doggy door in Scream because there’s a rumor going around the internet that claims Neve has been offered a decent amount of cash to come back for Scream 6.
When Neve made her exit announcement last month, she claimed that she’s had to work extremely hard as a woman to establish her value in the film industry and that the offer brought to her by Paramount was not in line with the value she has assigned herself as the star of an ultra-successful 5-film horror series. But, she ended by saying that she was grateful for the Scream series and the 25 years she has been a part of it. Well, now according to Cinemablend, anonymous sources are saying that Neve has signed on for Scream 6 after all. Cinemablend reports that several users on Twitter and Instagram have been spreading information about Neve’s return, so of course, none of this has been confirmed in the least. But for now, it sounds like Neve is back.

Cinemablend notes that the original rumor came from an Instagram account that has since been deleted. Why yes, I did just picture Ghostface in the server room at Meta, deleting that account by tapping a hacked password into a keyboard with a knife. The reason that Instagram account might have gotten the plug pulled on them can be explained in that tweet. According to the anonymous source, Paramount finally ponied up enough cash but hasn’t announced anything because they want Neve’s appearance in Scream 6 to be a surprise. Yikes, okay. Well – if that’s the case here, let’s all act very surprised if Sidney Prescott’s face does show up in that 6th movie. But that tweet does sound a bit like a creative writing assignment. According to that anonymous source, one of Sidney’s scenes happens at the end of the film, when Ghostface stabs Sidney to death (…or does he???). And the whole thing sets up a cliffhanger for Scream 7. It’s too bad that Paramount (allegedly) fucked up negotiations so badly in the beginning. Because there’s no way that scene doesn’t end with Sidney cackling, “Hahahaha, stab as hard as you want – the zeros on my new contract say that I’m here for at least another two movies, bitch!”
