Scream franchise creator Kevin Williamson wants Paramount to pony up the cash to bring back Neve Campbell to the franchise.In an interview on the Happy Horror Time podcast, Williamson addressed Campbell’s absence in the New York City-set Scream VI following a breakdown in negotiations over her payday for the sequel. While the franchise has moved on with Melissa Barrera and Jenna Ortega as the new leads, Williamson hopes that Paramount will do right by giving Campbell’s Sidney Prescott one more appearance to showdown with the next Ghostface. “I totally respect her opinion,” Williamson said. “I know exactly where she’s coming from, I know her well. I love and adore her and that’s what she did. It’s right for her.”Campbell passed on the opportunity to return as Sidney in Scream VI following the release of the fifth installment in 2022. Early story plans were discussed for Sidney’s involvement in Scream VI by directors Tyler Gillett and Matt Bettinelli-Olpin of Radio Silence until Campbell stepped away from the franchise over feeling “undervalued” by Paramount’s offer. Williamson hopes that both parties can come back to the table and work out a fair deal. “I love everyone involved in Scream and all I can say is, pay her the money. That’s what I would do, I would give her the money,” Williamson continued. “I’m sure there’s a number they can agree on that will make them both happy so hopefully one day they will figure that all out,” he added.RELATED: Original Scream Trilogy Gets 4K UHD and Blu-ray Release
