We still have no idea what’s going on with Scream 7, if anything at all, but the near future of the film franchise is definitely hanging in the balance at this moment in time.
Melissa Barrera and Jenna Ortega are no longer starring and Christopher Landon is no longer directing, while Neve Campbell is waiting on the “right circumstances” to return.
It’s safe to say the “core four” – Barrera, Ortega, Jasmin Savoy Brown & Mason Gooding – is no more, but will the “core two” (Savoy Brown & Gooding) return in Scream 7?
Speaking with Variety this week, Mason Gooding – who plays Chad Meeks-Martin, the nephew of Jamie Kennedy’s Randy Meeks – shared his thoughts on the franchise’s future.
“If it could make money, I guarantee you, they’ll make it,” Gooding says. “It’s one of those things where you wait to hear from the people that make the big decisions.”
In other words, it sounds like Gooding hasn’t yet been contacted about Scream 7, which echoes similar comments made by Jasmin Savoy Brown just a couple months back.
Savoy Brown (“Yellowjackets,” Scream) told ET, “I haven’t gotten a call. So I think if you want to ask Spyglass what they’re doing, you can. I haven’t gotten a call.”
Stay tuned for more on Scream 7 as we learn it. The movie is not only without a star but also without a director, so a lot is going to have to come together for this one to get moving.
Last we heard, James Vanderbilt and Guy Busick are still on board to write the script.
