Campbell is reprising her role as Sidney Prescott in Scream 7, the latest movie in the slasher series, but insists that she has no regrets about not featuring in the 2023 Scream flick as she felt 'undervalued' by the salary offered by movie bosses.
Neve told CBS Mornings: 'When I made that decision, I just didn't think I could live with myself walking on set. I just didn't feel right. I just knew that my value to this franchise was bigger than what had been offered. For me, I needed to make that choice.'
The Lincoln Lawyer star admits that she feared the pay dispute would spell the end of her time in the Scream franchise – having first portrayed Sidney Prescott in the original 1996 film.

Campbell said: 'When I said goodbye to it, I thought that was it. I knew that there was a good chance that would be it.'
Asked if she was OK with the decision, Neve added: 'Well, I had to be. I mean, I was sad. When I knew they were having their first day of shooting and I wasn't there, I was like, 'That sucks'. But at the same time, I knew that my decision was right.

'And when I spoke out about it, it wasn't really to sort of rally everybody. It was really just my truth at the time, and the fact the people got behind me, I got lovely support, and that was nice. And I do feel that other people need to make those choices.'
Lillard found his return as Stu Macher in Scream 7 to be 'a risk [he] was excited to take'.

The 55-year-old actor is reprising his role as one of the Ghostface killers in the upcoming slasher, and with Stu having met his bloody end in the original Scream, Lillard is 'nervous' for audiences to see how the dead character returns.
Speaking with People, he said: 'I'm nervous, because at this point in my life, the only thing I can do is sort of ruin how people consider Stu. [Especially] if I come back and I suck or I was lame.
'I haven't seen the movie yet. I don't know if it works, but it's a risk. And it's a risk that I was excited to take. At the same time, I'm nervous to see the outcome. I hope people like it.'
