Neve Campbell reveals what it will take for her to reprise Sidney Prescott in Scream 5.
As Scream 5 gains momentum, fans are eager to know—what will it take to bring Neve Campbell back as Sidney Prescott?
If you’ve been following the film’s development, here’s what we know so far:
- Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett (Ready or Not, 2019) are directing.
- Spyglass Media Group is backing the project.
- Kevin Williamson is involved, though not as the screenwriter. Instead, Guy Busick and James Vanderbilt are penning the script.
- David Arquette was the first legacy cast member to officially sign on.
- Neve Campbell is in talks to return—but on her terms.
And what are those terms?
Campbell has made it clear: she will only return if the film honors Wes Craven’s legacy. She wants a direct, eye-to-eye conversation with the creative team to ensure Sidney’s story is treated with the respect it deserves. However, due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, those discussions will only happen when it’s safe.
