Melissa Barrera Addresses Controversial 'Scream' Firing, Reveals Whether She's Spoken to Neve Campbell, Thoughts on Jenna Ortega's Exit & Whether She'd Come Back
On Christopher Landon stepping down as director of the seventh movie after she was fired:
“I actually don’t know what happened. He was very excited about it, and he had great ideas for it, so it makes me sad.”
On supporting others who face backlash online:
“Now when I see someone going through something like that, I’m constantly checking in, because I know what it feels like.”
On sending a message to Ava DuVernay to commend her 2023 drama Origin, which spurred debate over its lack of awards attention:
“What you’re doing is what we should all be doing,” she wrote to the director.
On returning to Scream:
“I’ve learned to never say never, but also a lot of things would have to happen for Sam to come back. For now, next page, next chapter, and then we’ll see what the future holds.”
Radio Silence directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, on intending to tie together Melissa’s story with a seventh movie:
“We’ll be sad that there’s not going to be an end to the Sam Carpenter story, but in our minds, we designed Scream VI so that the story feels complete.”
