Neve Campbell exited Scream6 over an offer she said was disrespectful and sexist, but Jenna Ortega confirms Sidney Prescott 'references' remain in the 2023 sequel: 'We respect her and we want the best for her. She’s missed and thought of.'
“I did not feel that what I was being offered equated to the value that I bring to this franchise, and have brought to this franchise, for 25 years,” Campbell said. “And as a woman in this business, I think it’s really important for us to be valued and to fight to be valued.”
Campbell added, “I honestly don’t believe that if I were a man and had done five installments of a huge blockbuster franchise over 25 years, that the number that I was offered would be the number that would be offered to a man. And in my soul, I just couldn’t do that. I couldn’t walk on set feeling that — feeling undervalued and feeling the unfairness, or lack of fairness, around that.”
Ortega is starring in “Scream 6” alongside Melissa Barrera, Jasmin Savoy Brown and Mason Gooding, all of whom debuted in the 2022 entry, which grossed $140 million worldwide. Franchise mainstay Courtney Cox is also returning. The movie follows the quartet of survivors from the fifth movie as they leave Woodsboro behind and attempt to start a fresh chapter in New York City.
