Scream VI
- Thread starter Gerard
- Start date
No but Ortega's the star isnt she. She's the "Sidney".
I'd have thought of her more as the sidekick little sister, this trilogy is more based around Barreras character being the daughter of Billy.

Well, seems Scream 7 how now lost it's director as well, so this movie is officially up **** creek without a paddle.
They'll likely have to go back to the drawing board on this, it'll undoubtedly be set around Sidney again as Melissa Barrera is now persona non grata as she was accused of being an 'antisemite' with her opinions on whats going on in the middle east. And shortarse is away doing other stuff so there's not much they can do unless they go 'retro' and have it focus on Sidney again, or wait for who knows how long before shortarse is available again, presumably without Barrera.

A remake would be even easier and cheaper to do, not that I'm too bothered. It's just if they carry on with the present storyline, which three characters would be killers? There can't be that many people left that are ****** off to go on a murder spree.
Technically speaking there were 5 characters in the last movie that were killers, so plenty of loons still about!
So seems like part 7 is in the works, directed by Kevin Williamson who wrote the first 3 and they're going back to Neve Campbell. Not everyone's happy with this, going by the comments on her IG. Some annoyance she's reprising the role due to what happened with Melissa Barrera speaking her mind which was (of course) interpreted as anti semitic by the production company.
