‘The Reason That I Jumped On Board’: Neve Campbell To Reportedly Return As Sidney Prescott In The Scream 7

In a recent chat with Entertainment Tonight, Campbell indicated that they will be focusing on Sidney in the upcoming project, drawing parallels to Jamie Lee Curtis’s revival as Laurie Strode in the Halloween series. She further explained that she was enticed by the idea after it was proposed to her, which is why she decided to join the team. As of now, Campbell has not had a chance to read the final script, but she is eagerly anticipating its arrival.

As an ardent devotee, I can’t help but gush about these timeless masterpieces – the Scream series! Being a part of them is more than just a role; it’s like a dream come true. These films have been such a joy to be a part of for nearly three decades now, and that’s saying something since the first one premiered all the way back in 1996! I never thought I’d find myself in a movie that would still be going strong after so many years. It’s truly a privilege.

The actress from “The Wild Things” remarked, “Fans of these movies are absolutely wild, incredibly enthusiastic, and deeply passionate. I can’t wait to present them with another film!”

In December, production for Scream 7 will begin, with Kevin Williamson, a longtime writer for the Scream series, stepping into the director’s chair. Neve Campbell is set to reprise her role, but as of now, other actors have not been officially announced. However, there’s a strong possibility that some iconic characters, such as Courteney Cox’s Gale Weathers and Patrick Dempsey’s Mark Kincaid, may make a comeback.

In Scream VI, Campbell was absent because there was a disagreement over payment, but later, she managed to come to a fair deal with the production company. She felt gratified that the studio recognized her significance to the series.

At age 50, Campbell finds herself more active than ever before. She’s gearing up for season 3 of Netflix’s The Lincoln Lawyer and is also busy promoting her freshly produced documentary titled Swan Song. This documentary delves into the National Ballet of Canada’s rendition of Swan Lake, shedding light on matters such as racism and sexism within the world of ballet.

Campbell, with a dance background, expressed, “At six, my father gifted me a viewing of the Nutcracker ballet, and I declared, ‘I must be part of this.'”

Swan Song is currently in theaters and available on demand.
