Another day, another Scream 7 departure.
Hot on the heels of actress Melissa Barrera being pink-slipped from the film, and more recently Jenna Ortega’s exit, director Christopher Landon has taken to social media to declare he is no longer onboard the Spyglass/Paramount production.
“I guess now is as good a time as any to announce I formally exited Scream 7 weeks ago. This will disappoint some and delight others. It was a dream job that turned into a nightmare. And my heart did break for everyone involved. Everyone. But it’s time to move on. I have nothing more to add to the conversation other than I hope Wes’ legacy thrives and lifts above the din of a divided world. What he and Kevin created is something amazing and I was honored to have even the briefest moment basking in their glow.”
Recent reports suggest Scream veteran Neve Campbell and her Scream 3 co-star Patrick Dempsey may be returning to fill the void of Barrera and Ortega but who will fill the spot of Landon?
