Will Neve Campbell be returning to play in the movie Scream 4?
Don’t expect series star Neve Campbell to return as Sidney Prescott in Scream 4. Series screenwriter Kevin Williamson, who is developing the script for the first part of a new trilogy, has revealed on twitter that Campbell has turned down an offer to return in the next installment. It had been previously reported that Courtney Cox Arquette and David Arquette were in talks to reprise their roles as Gale Weathers and Dwight “Dewey” Riley in the sequel. When Wes Craven was recently asked about the project, he said that Bob Weinstein wants him to direct the film, but he wants to wait and see the screenplay before he decides. Craven also said that everyone other than Cox and Arquette would be new characters, which leads me to believe that the Campbell’s role would be not much more than a cameo.

Neve Campbell, who played the lead role of Sidney Prescott in the Scream franchise, will not be returning to reprise the role in Scream 4. The screenwriter of the series, Kevin Williamson, confirmed the news via Twiiter where he simply said “Trying to figure out a Sid-less scenario. She won’t do it. This sucks.” Well, it doesn’t get much more cut and dried than that. Williamson is currently developing the script for the first part of a new trilogy. While this news is probably disappointing for the fans of the franchise, it currently appears that both Courteney Cox and David Arquette are still rumored to be returning for the film.
