The Scream Franchise • Page 106

Eh, I never felt that bad for her considering a low offer for Scream VI was probably more than I will make as individual in at least a third of my lifetime, conservatively. Wish she would be more conscientious of the way that same company just fucked over her costar from the fifth film.

 

Neve dropped off 6 cause of pay disputes hinting that women need equal pay. No one boycotted that one.

 

Like, yeah, I'm happy she's getting paid more, but I'm probably not gonna go see it unless the others come back

 

I just can’t imagine successfully establishing the Core Four across two movies, getting one of the hottest younger actors out there and Christopher Landon and screwing all of that up. A world class bag fumble that not even Neve Campbell returning can make up for.

 

I'm not even saying I won't watch it because of course I'm morbidly curious, but I can definitely say I won't willingly or knowingly give Spyglass any money for the foreseeable future, which means I definitely won't catch it (or any of their productions) in theaters

 

Yeah, I’ll watch it whenever it hits streaming. Not gonna catch it in theatres

 

Spy glass can’t be dumb enough to actually make a 7th film without the core 4. I refuse to believe it. Core 4 has to be in it.

 

They really fucked up calling them the “core four” only to immediately have to pivot, especially when they should’ve died in the last one but they miraculously lived.

This one is gonna be a mess.

But as soon as Spyglass sells the rights I can pitch my sequel with 100 Ghostface’s in a cult.

 

I don’t see any possible way they’d get Berrera or Ortega back for this sequel. They could have taken any number of steps that didn’t involve firing a principal cast member. They fucked themselves.

I’m just gonna consider this movie a mulligan. Williamson directing has absolutely no appeal whatsoever.

 

Film’s cursed, but I’m here for Neve and Kevin.

 

I won’t speak for anyone else, but I didn’t boycott 6 because we didn’t know what the specific pay discrepancies were—for all we know, Neve was offered the same amount as Melissa & Jenna and wasn’t thrilled about that. However, we do know that Melissa was fired for speaking out against genocide, and that’s why I am boycotting 7.

 

Damn. That quote about the cast getting together to play board games makes me both really happy and really sad.

 

So they’re definitely going to act like Scream and Scream VI didn’t happen now, right?

Calling it now, they’ll title this Scream 5.

 

Why though? Gale didn’t die or anything. With Campbell back, it is more likely for Cox to return.

 

Ahh fair, I clearly didn’t remember VI enough to realize she didn’t die.

 

Tbf, I think her survival was just a one line thing at the end when Mindy popped back up.

 

I could see 7 branching off into a separate storyline focusing on Sydney and Gale before returning to the core four in 8 to finish off the planned trilogy, but that's only if they do everything necessary to get Melissa and Jenna back. Until then, fuck Spyglass.

 

I was honestly okay with--even excited for-- Christopher Landon to take over, but it feels icky that he was only asked because Radio Silence couldn't do the next installment and their own film; poor guy got dealt a pretty bad hand when the shit with Melissa went down, good on him for stepping out. I don't think I'll personally hold it against Neve and Courtney for being involved, I just probably won't see it in theaters.

 

Yea I would agree with this. Maybe core four come back for 8. All casts (OG and core four) return for 9 and end it all.

 

I really can’t wait for Abigail, though.

 

Doesn't a "core four" kind of ruin the anticipation of who is in danger and who isn't?

 

Yes. It’s pretty much the only reason Mason Gooding made it through 6 alive

 

It’s also no different than what the original trio was.
