Jasmin Savoy Brown Says She Hasn’t Gotten a Call About ‘Scream 7’
What the hell is going on with Scream 7? It’s impossible to know at this point in time, but it seems any and all original plans for the franchise’s next installment have been scrapped.
Melissa Barrera and Jenna Ortega are no longer starring and Christopher Landon is no longer directing, while Neve Campbell is waiting on the “right circumstances” to return.
It’s safe to say the “core four” – Barrera, Ortega, Jasmin Savoy Brown & Mason Gooding – is no more, but will the “core two” (Savoy Brown & Gooding) return in Scream 7?
Speaking with Entertainment Tonight on the red carpet at the Emmy Awards over the weekend, franchise star Jasmin Savoy Brown revealed she hasn’t yet gotten any calls.
Savoy Brown (“Yellowjackets,” Scream) tells ET, “I haven’t gotten a call. So I think if you want to ask Spyglass what they’re doing, you can. I haven’t gotten a call.”
She notes in the interview, “I think that everything that we did, the core four, is amazing and important and should be celebrated forever. And I’m glad that we got to capture that on screen. And I’m proud to have four people of color in that horror film. I’ll forever be proud of that.”
Stay tuned for more on Scream 7 as we learn it. The movie is not only without a star but also without a director, so a lot is going to have to come together for this one to get moving.
Last we heard, James Vanderbilt and Guy Busick are still on board to write the script.
The filmmakers behind Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey are expanding their public domain horror universe with a handful of upcoming “Poohniverse” movies, including Bambi: The Reckoning, Pinocchio: Unstrung, and Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare.
Variety has scored the first image from Neverland Nightmare, seen above.
The website details, “Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare follows Wendy Darling as she strikes out in an attempt to rescue her brother Michael from ‘the clutches of the evil Peter Pan.’ Along the way she meets Tinkerbell, who in this twisted version of the story will be seen taking heroine, convinced that it’s pixie dust.”
Scott Jeffrey will direct Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare, expected Halloween 2024.
Jeffrey tells us, “I am taking inspiration from French cinema while in prep for this movie. The film will be incredibly tense. I would say it’s a mesh between Switchblade Romance and The Black Phone with our own spin on it. It is a nasty, violent and incredibly dark movie.”
Megan Placito has joined the cast as Wendy Darling, Kit Green is Tinkerbell, Peter DeSouza-Feighoney (The Pope’s Exorcist) is Michael Darling and Charity Kase (RuPaul Drag Race) is James. Martin Portlock will be playing the twisted version of Peter Pan.
Created by J.M. Barrie way back in 1902, the character of Peter Pan – like Winnie the Pooh – is in the public domain, even if the iconic Disney iteration of the character is very much not.
