Would Kristen Stewart Give Scream 6 a Shot?

Kristen Stewart reveals she was offered a role in Scream 4 and shares her love for Neve Campbell. Would she consider Scream 6? Find out here!

Kristen Stewart, this year’s Oscar nominee for the stunning and deeply haunting Spencer, has long been a scream queen in her own right. While many recognize her from Twilight, her horror resume is impressive, including Panic Room, Cold Creek Manor, The Messengers, Personal Shopper, and most recently, Underwater. But did you know she almost joined the Scream franchise?

In a recent interview with Slant Magazine, Stewart opened up about being offered a role in Scream 4 and whether she’d be willing to take another stab at the franchise in Scream 6.

The Role She Turned Down in Scream 4

“So it’s the Drew [Barrymore] character that gets killed in the beginning. And they created a whole sequence where a lot of people got killed to emulate the Drew thing. But it was just going to be one person, and I was like, ‘I can’t do a Drew. I can’t touch that.’ Do you know what I mean? But, yeah, so then they ended up doing, if I’m remembering correctly, a larger sequence and not just one victim.”

Stewart was referring to Scream 4’s meta-heavy opening scene, which featured multiple fake-outs before settling on Shenae Grimes and Lucy Hale’s sequence, leading into the deaths of Britt Robertson and Aimee Teegarden. She was originally offered a single-victim opener, a role she ultimately turned down because she didn’t feel comfortable stepping into Drew Barrymore’s legendary shoes from the original Scream.

Would She Consider Scream 6?

Having recently spent time with Neve Campbell, Stewart was asked whether she would reconsider joining the franchise:

“Maybe. I would read the script. I love Neve Campbell so much. She was very nice to me, and it was very satisfying that she’s a very nice person.”

She also expressed her deep admiration for the self-referential nature of Scream:

“I love that movie. I’ve watched it recently, as an adult though. It’s so gnarly. I love the movie because it loves movies. The coolest part of Scream is what it says about film. It’s so self-aware. It folds in on itself like six times. I love how much [Wes Craven] loves movies and how embedded that is. It’s a total film nerd type of movie. It’s not just a slasher flick. It’s a beautiful movie. It’s so hard to watch. I’m like, ‘I don’t have the stomach for that shit anymore.’ I was like, ‘Oh, man, this is very, very, very intense.’”

With Scream 6 officially in development—filming set to begin this summer with a script by James Vanderbilt and Guy Busick—one question remains: Would you want to see Kristen Stewart finally facing Ghostface?
