Scream 7 will now not be directed by Christopher Landon, because the director introduced his departure in an announcement at this time. The Freaky and We Have a Ghost director’s exit comes after the departure of Jenna Ortega and the firing of Melissa Barrera. No alternative has been named but for the upcoming horror film.
“I suppose now could be pretty much as good a time as any to announce I formally exited Scream 7 weeks in the past. This can disappoint some and delight others,” wrote Landon on X. “It was a dream job that became a nightmare. And my coronary heart did break for everybody concerned. Everybody. However it’s time to maneuver on. I’ve nothing extra so as to add to the dialog apart from I hope Wes’ legacy thrives and lifts above the din of a divided world. What he and Kevin created is one thing superb, and I used to be honored to have even the briefest second basking of their glow.”
What is the status of Scream 7 without Jenna Ortega?
As of now, it’s unclear exactly what the status of the next entry in the Scream franchise is. There’s currently no script or schedule for the next movie in the popular horror series as of late 2023.
Alongside Barrera, the most recent two entries have starred Ortega, Jasmin Savoy Brown, and Mason Gooding as the four main members of the new era of Scream. With Barrera and Ortega not returning, it seems the group will be fairly different in the next installment.
