 What is going on guys welcome back to the channel critical over here since I'm a scream six this video here again today So word broke today that Neve Campbell apparently will not be returning as Sidney Prescott in scream six And yeah at the internet has just been complete shambles as a result So now apparently stated in According to variety. She stated this to variety. She said this about it She said as a woman I've had to work extremely hard in my career to establish my value Especially when it comes to scream I felt the offer that was presented to me didn't didn't equate to the value I've brought to the franchise. She continued on to say how thankful she was to the screen fans for their years of support and David Arquette has also chimed in on this as well during an interview to discuss the quarry game I think he did this with comic book. He stated that a screen movie without Sidney's kind of unfortunate But I understand her decision. It's all a business in a way They have to balance all these elements to fit a budget and produce a film. I get it She's still alive. She can absolutely be in future ones, but I think it's up to the fans to call for that in the future That is that that is sudden. It's a business though. I respect her decision for sure So going into my thoughts about Neve So this originated from a scoop from this convention that went on over the weekend and I know master chaos made a video talking about it and Other fans started to talk about it at this convention as well Who said started like basically chime in and cosign all of these things was like, okay It's like what Tatum was saying, you know, you can only hear rumors so much to you start to believe it But then a statement like this comes out for some more verifiable Outlets people who again have a track record and more I guess Compared to people like me a more reputable position where she's stating this to them now Neve apparently also told someone and I'll leave a link to a lot of this stuff in the description She apparently told someone else at this convention that see me had a bigger role This and she also said the script is good Now the thing here is that apparently she also told someone that she skipped out because she didn't like what? She didn't like what Sydney was doing or I guess she didn't like or she didn't think the script did Sydney justice But she told someone else apparently that the script is good now Here's what I'll say there if she told someone that she passed because She doesn't think the script did Sydney justice But then told someone else that she thinks the script is good if you're confused there That's because again the aspect of Sydney sounds like it's what's most important to her That's the character. She's going to play after all but if she's not satisfied with the part of Sydney That isn't then mean that oh the whole entire script is bad. That's like that's not how that works you're one character in a Enormous amount of pages she that's I just want to give it like some clarity on to what that can mean there You know when you tell someone one thing about apparently the script being good And then tell someone else that you backed out because of the fact that you know It doesn't do Sydney justice and it could be a combination of all this stuff being true again The thing about it is what that tells me is that okay. She's in a place where she Thanks that overall the script is good But she's not necessarily satisfied about what was done with Sydney now some of you that oh they made her the killer Oh, you know, she she must have been killed No, I don't think it's anything like that this could very well be something that again for if you want to be more open-minded This could very well be something that you would have pitched to do with Sydney This could have been something that you as someone listening to this could have pitched that you would like to see done with Sydney and Neves and Disagreement with it that you when we don't know all the details You need to be mindful of those type of scenarios as well It's very possible that what she didn't like you would like such as the fact that I see people in my comment section Always talking about not always But a lot of people come into the comment section and say that oh Sydney needs to be in scream six But don't provide a reason other than it'll call it. She's the heart of the franchise That's very minuscule now in the larger scale of things quality over quantity with this character The way this character is written is very important to me when you say she's the heart of the franchise You need to go into what else does she have to do? What else can be done? What else is there for her to prove she has kind of exit at this point had three exits from the series so Her saying that the script is good But she passed due to a pay dispute in my mind the biggest thing for us to worry about is that she believes the script is good Since one circulation from the group from this convention ended up being true I feel more comfortable believing these statements as well And again, she's had like three exits from the series at this point You have the original intent with three then Kevin himself wasn't even planning to focus on her in his fifth movie He was planning to go on from four without her after his fourth film and then five gave her another suitable reason to be Involved once again too, but that was again another type of exit for her now A lot of people will want to trash radio silence and it's like okay But they are probably just as upset as you are like I fully believe they would love to do this with her again But they are not in control of that stuff. Neve is in control of Neve We also don't know again what the bigger role could have been to you This might be something that's smaller, but to Neve it was something bigger It could be something again that you don't think is big but she did the other thing that got overlooked today Is that Courtney Cox also confirmed her return so Gail Weathers is back So don't undermine her also Kirby Reid might have a redemption arc if Jenna or take his words from last night at the red carpet During the MTV Awards Should be taken literally in that regard and I'll leave a link to again a lot of stuff in the description She also talked about Ghostface being more violent this time around as well on the red carpet all in all I'm okay with Sydney not being here There are a lot of people who won't be but remember what David said if you want Sydney You're in control of that in the sense that if you don't see Scream 6 over this then you're probably Closing the door on any potential shot of her returning in future movies So no one thinks long-term in regards to stuff like that And it's probably best that we all start trying that because if you don't go out of your way to see Scream 6 Because of a short minor setback, then you're not gonna get a major comeback You don't know what could be done if Scream 6 is successful You also don't know that this could be a scenario in which Neve purposely did this to kind of show one or kind of prove a Point to this to the studios to hire ups above radio silence that are involved with the negotiations Prove to the producers that hey, I know my worth. She has a lot of projects. She's involved in right now But you know, she's not obligated to do this movie for us. She doesn't owe us anything She has served her purpose in this franchise I will always love to see her in more Scream movies But the thing that I also value more is what this character has always represented to a lot of people the fact that I care About how she is written. I know a lot of you do as well You not just throw her in there any old kind of way as much as many people would like that That's probably the very thing that she probably was not in agreement with if that is something that was true Sydney Prescott is embedded in this franchise. She will always be a part of this But I feel as though if we Remain so short-sighted and say, oh, I'm not gonna go watch Scream 6 because Sydney isn't there Well, then guess what you're doing? You're closing the door on any potential chance of her returning in Scream 7 which again while I had this You don't even know if they have already talked to her about something they want to do with Scream 7 I mean the rate I mean the creative team not the people in charge with the money the creative team They probably have something very important in mind for Scream 7 and they understand why she's sitting out But if you don't go see Scream 6, she's not gonna be able to do that You're closing the door under the shot of her returning, but you want her back so bad I don't understand it.
