Due to a disagreement with respect to compensation, Neve Campbell won’t be participating in Scream 6: “A choice that is really challenging”
Because of a disagreement on her compensation, the long-running horror franchise’s protagonist, Neve Campbell, won’t show up in the upcoming installment of the Scream series. As per an assertion she released on Monday the offer that was made to the mainstay of the brand “does not correlate to the value I have provided to the franchise.”
Campbell expressed his regret that he wouldn’t be participating in the production of the subsequent Scream picture. “Because I am a woman, I have had to put in a lot of extra effort throughout my career to prove that I am valuable, particularly in regard to Scream. My impression is that the offer that was made to me does not come close to matching the value that I have contributed to the brand.”
Campbell acknowledged that it “has been a very difficult decision to move on” and expressed gratitude to the audience for their support. She addressed all of her Scream fans and said, “I love you.” “You have been nothing but incredibly supportive to me throughout the years. I will be eternally thankful to both you and this business for everything that they have done for me over the past 25 years.”
Campbell has previously talked about the difficulties she faces with regard to receiving fair compensation. She and fellow scream queen Jamie Lee Curtis sat down for an interview with Variety.
Curtis, who showed up in the Halloween movies that commercially successful, has expressed that she “didn’t actually make much money off of the horror pictures.” It spurred Campbell to talk about her own experiences on Scream 3, adding that despite the fact that she “did all fine,” she didn’t receive back end, which is a term that alludes to pay after a picture earns a profit.
During that time, she shared that there was “always the promise of the back end.” “And then, of course, it gets buried under the weight of publicity and costs and all the other reasons they say, “Oh, really no, we didn’t make the amount of money that we’re claiming we made in all the press so that we don’t have to give you that,” which is awful. It turned out to be the Weinsteins.”
Both Campbell and Curtis lamented the obstacles that ladies in the horror industry confront. The former member of Scream expressed,” We would like to make equal.”
