Neve Campbell chose not to return for Scream VI, but Skeet Ulrich says she loved what the film did. As reported last year, Campbell decided not to return due to disagreements with Paramount and Spyglass Media over the value of her contract. Campbell has since said that the issue was “truly” just related to the negotiations, and Ulrich told PEOPLE that she enjoyed what the new film accomplished. You can see highlights below:
On how he thinks Wes Craven would feel about the film: “It’s amazing, you know, I couldn’t help but think of Wes [Craven] riding in and how happy he would be of the group that’s telling these stories now and that the fervor for this franchise still exists.”
On Campbell’s thoughts on the film: “We were together over the weekend at a convention. She loves it; she loves what we’ve done. There were just business things as a businesswoman that are important to her, and we all stand behind her.”
On Campbell not being in the film: “She’s the final girl, no doubt. But yeah, I think she misses it, all of it and everything. This is new to me — I did [the original Scream] and then a big jump, we didn’t have this kind of thing obviously because of the pandemic for [last year’s fifth Scream], so this is like years and years’ of growth. So I think she has more to miss. To me, it’s new and exciting.”
Scream VI has grossed $80.4 million domestically and $120.4 million worldwide thus far, and is expected to surpass $100 million domestically by the end of its run.
