'Scream 7' Director Says He's Leaving The Film After It 'Turned Into A Nightmare'
HuffPost
Filmmaker Christopher Landon’s departure comes shortly after Melissa Barrera was fired from the movie and Jenna Ortega said she would not be returning.
It looks like the making of “Scream 7” has hit yet another snag.
Just a month after it was announced that leading ladies Jenna Ortega and Melissa Barrera would not be returning for the slasher sequel, director Christopher Landon said this weekend that he is also calling it quits.
On Saturday, Landon, 48, posted a dejected message on X (formerly Twitter) to share that he’d decided to walk away from the production.
“I guess now is as good a time as any to announce I formally exited Scream 7 weeks ago,” he wrote. “This will disappoint some and delight others. It was a dream job that turned into a nightmare.”
Landon wrote that his “heart did break for everyone involved.”
