Neve Campbell Believes Offer To Return For SCREAM 6 Would Have Been Higher "If I Was A Man"
It’s been common knowledge for awhile now Scream alum, Neve Campbell, will NOT be returning for Scream 6 and in all honesty, she wasn’t too happy about the offer presented to her in the first place.
The news first came down when Neve Campbell told those in attendance at Monsterpalooza that she won't be reprising the role for the currently in-development sequel.
The actress would confirm her decision to bow out of the project soon after via an official press release, which revealed that Campbell simply didn't think the offer the studio made her was adequate.
Neve has elaborated on her reasons for dropping out of the movie during an interview with People.
"As a woman in this business, I think it's really important for us to be valued and to fight to be valued," she said. "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."
Scream 6's official synopsis reads: “The Scream saga continues with the four survivors of the Ghostface killings as they leave Woodsboro behind and start a fresh chapter,” this sets things up in a way that Neve didn’t really NEED to be in the sequel but it would have been a nice bit of fan service if she did.
Scream 6 isn’t even supposed to be based in Woodsboro anyway and will be hitting New York!
