A real reason when Jena Ortega left franchise scream

In April 2022, one of the most encouraging buildings arrived after throwing a movie. Franchise “Creek”Lying at rest for more than a decade, he suddenly got into life with the fifth film in the history history, just called “Creek”. Horror lovers in a large -scale number flocked in the theater to provide some juice at the US checkout; He continued $ 33 million for his four -day weekend before moving $ 137.7 million worldwide. The movies did not return (they are still not), but it was a reminder of the studios and exhibitors who are at least a horror genre as ever (potentially) as ever.

One of the reasons for the mass success of “Scream” (2022) and its continuation of 2023 “Scream VI” was the agile ability of Franchise Slasher to integrate the new array of colorful characters into this former world, launched by the old favorites such as Neve Campbell, Courtney Cox and David Arquette. Particularly effective was the Melissa Barrer and Jena Ortega duo, like Sam and Tara Carpenter, the last young people who were hunting on Ghostface. Having survived the sixth movie, fans were called upon seeing the carpenter of siblings hunting again (or who knows, even even become Hunter) in the seventh party.

And then everything fell apart.

Barrera was sharply fired from the project In November 2023, when she posted what was perceived as conflicting remarks about the Israeli-Homas war. It happened after the departure of Tyler’s directors Gilen and Matt Bettineli-Olpin (who made about the talented “Happy Death Day” by Helmer Christopher Landon), who left some fans as if the property had just shot. Then, the day after the barrer was canned, the news went through that the Ortega threw. Was this done in solidarity with her co -author? Did it have something else? With the new film “The Death of the Unicorn”, which is now in the cinemas, Ortega finally tells about his decision.

At the time reported Ortega came out of “Scream VII” a few months before the focus of the barrer. However in a later interview with RipOrthega, said that to give up the seventh movie “Creek” was a strictly issue of vibrations – and these vibrations were scary as it was officially twisted. As she said the incision:

“It had nothing to do with payment or planning. Melissa was happening and it all was falling apart. If” Scream VII “would not be with this team of directors, and the people I fell in love, then at that time I didn’t see the right step for me.”

A sudden, completely unplanned kibasing arc of carpenters sent fans in Tizzy. Christopher Landon began catching homeless in social media, so it didn’t suddenly Creator of the Kevin Williamson series announced The fact that he will take the helm on “Scream VII” by making it the first theatrical function as a director since 1999 “Mrs. Tingle”. The only good news for the fans of the franchise – “Creek” (2022) and “Creek VI” clerk Guy Busik was left to write (from the history he developed with James Vanderbilt).

On February 27, 2026, “Scream VII” is planned to reach theaters, and Campbell returns to the property After transferring “Scream VII” about the debate on pay. Will it participate enough to save this badly damaged property? We will have to wait and see, but it was definitely not perfect to drive two young actors who brought a new generation to “Creek”.
