Kevin Williamson decided to put Neve Campbell's Sidney Prescott at the heart of Scream 7.
The 52-year-old actress returns for the latest film in the slasher franchise after sitting out 2023's Scream VI due to a pay row and the director opted to make her alter ego the central focus of the picture after the exits of younger co-stars Jenna Ortega and Melissa Barrera – with the latter being fired for social media posts about the conflict in Gaza.
