As a die-hard fan of the Scream franchise, I can’t help but be both thrilled and disappointed by the latest news surrounding Scream 7. The idea of Neve Campbell returning as Sidney Prescott is enough to make my heart race with excitement. But the reported departure of Jenna Ortega and Melissa Barrera has left me feeling a bit deflated.
The revival of the horror genre continues to thrive, with no end in sight as top-notch horror films are brought back to cinemas for new sequels. Leading this resurgence is Wes Craven’s iconic slasher series, “Scream,” which has enjoyed significant success at the box office following the release of its latest installments. Enthusiasts eagerly anticipate Neve Campbell’s reprisal of her role as Sidney Prescott in “Scream 7.” However, fans were disappointed to learn that Jenna Ortega and Melissa Barrera would be leaving their parts in the upcoming horror production. Recent revelations suggest how “Scream 7” reportedly planned to address the departing characters before their exit.
What we know about Scream 7 is limited, especially as it hasn’t begun filming yet. But the movie was planned to be quite different ahead of WGA strikes, Melissa Barrera’s firing from the franchise and Christopher Landon exiting as director. According to an account Beyond The Mask, they spoke with an insider (as well as Landon) about what the original plans for the seventh film were. And they were a doozy.
According to the unverified report, the planned seventh installment of “Scream,” titled “Scream 7, originally aimed to conclude the Carpenter Sisters’ saga introduced in the earlier films, accessible via Paramount+. However, Jenna Ortega’s conflicting schedule led to her character Tara’s demise in the seventh movie. Consequently, Sam would grapple with her loss and contemplate succumbing to darkness.
In the thrilling 2022 “Scream” film, I discovered an astonishing twist: Sam is none other than Billy Loomis’ long-lost daughter. Her haunting experiences from the previous two movies were filled with chilling visions of her deranged father. Although she discarded the Ghostface mask at the end of “Scream VI,” the heart-wrenching death of her beloved sister Tara might have left her grappling with the deep-seated anger and violence lurking within herself.
Based on Beyond The Mask’s report, Ghostface aimed to bring out Sam’s villainous character as part of the plot for an early concept of Scream 7. The prospective killer’s identity remains unknown, but Sam and Tara’s mother was supposed to make her appearance in this abandoned version of the horror series.
Unfortunately, Christopher Landon’s initial ideas for “Scream 7” have been abandoned, and neither of the Carpenter sisters will make an appearance in the upcoming sequel. The specifics of Paramount’s plans for the film remain mostly undisclosed, but Neve Campbell’s anticipated return as Sidney has long-time fans eagerly awaiting further developments. Here’s hoping we get more casting news soon, featuring other beloved “Scream” characters that would add to the excitement.
I’m excitedly looking forward to the next installment of the Scream franchise, titled “Scream 7.” Unfortunately, a definite release date hasn’t been announced just yet. However, it’s rumored that production will begin in September. In the meantime, keep an eye on the 2025 movie schedule for potential clues or updates regarding this highly anticipated horror film.
