Jakarta –
Kevin Williamson, the creator of Scream, admits that he really misses the presence of the iconic character from his horror film, namely Sidney Prescott, starring Neve Campbell.
I don’t know why this statement was only expressed following negotiations with the actress reached a deadlock and Neve decided not to appear in Scream VI because of the inappropriate payment.
Even though Neve was always present in the five Scream films and became an iconic character there, the studio and producers were reluctant to use her services in the films released this year because she asked for a salary increase.
In the Happy Horror Time podcast, Kevin also forced studio executives to resolve the problem with the star so he might appear there once more.
“I know exactly where she (Neve Campbell) is coming from, I know her very well. I like and admire what she has done. It (the salary increase request) is worthy of her. I love everyone involved in Scream and all I can say is to give him decent pay,” he said.
“That’s what I will do, I will give him the appropriate payment. I’m sure there is a nominal amount that they can agree on and make both parties satisfied, so hopefully this problem will be resolved quickly,” he added.
Until now there has been no sign of Neve Campbell returning to appear in Scream 7, while the project has begun to be announced with Christopher Landon as director.
In August last year, Neve Campbell announced that she would not return to appear in the sixth Scream film. It was the first time he was absent since the film Scream first aired more than 25 years ago.
Neve also revealed the reason because she felt she was treated unfairly by the production team and only received a salary offer which she said was low. Moreover, he argued that if he were a man, he would definitely get a higher salary.
“I don’t feel that the offer given is equal to the value I have given to this franchise for 25 years,” he told People.
“As women in this industry, I think it’s very important for us to be more respected and fight for it,” she added.
He also explained that he might not force himself to continue filming, but his heart was tormented because of this unfair action. Campbell also wrote a message to Scream fans that it was a difficult choice.
“To the Scream fans, I love you. You have always supported me and I am very grateful for that and for what this franchise has given me over the past 25 years,” he wrote.
