Neve Campbell Open To Scream 7 Return Under One Condition

Neve Campbell went on to say that she would definitely consider returning to the "Scream" franchise, particularly as it now doesn't have any major stars or a director (more on that momentarily) attached. "Would I do it? There are millions of fans out there of this franchise," Campbell told THR. "These movies mean a lot to people. They mean a lot to me. They mean a lot to [screenwriter Kevin Williamson]. They meant a lot to [original director Wes Craven]. They meant a lot to all of these cast members, and we would all love to see this franchise continue. I would hate to see it burn. So, we'll see."

Williamson — who penned several "Scream" installments — previously told the "Happy Horror Time" podcast he would welcome Campbell back with open arms. "I would give her the money. I'm sure there's a number they can agree on that will make them both happy, so hopefully one day they will figure that all out." Unfortunately for Williamson, he might not have much sway anymore: after he wrote 2011's "Scream 4," Williamson was not involved in the writing for either 2022's "Scream" and 2023's "Scream VI," and it's not clear at press time who is writing the seventh installment.
