Neve Campbell discusses her return as Sidney Prescott in Scream 5

October 15, 2020 by Liam Waddington

With the upcoming fifth instalment in the Scream franchise currently in production, Neve Campbell, who is once again set to reprise her role as Sidney Prescott, has discussed her return to the long-running horror series.

During an interview on The Talk, Campbell spoke about her return to Scream without the late director Wes Craven while also revealing her excitement to work with Courteney Cox and David Arquette again – who will be reprising their roles as Gale Weathers and Dewey Riley respectively.

“Oh you guys, I’m 47 and I’m going to be covered in blood,” Campbell said. “I’m excited to get back to it. I’m excited to see Courteney (Cox) and David (Arquette). I’m excited to see this young new cast. I’m excited to work with these new directors. I had been apprehensive because our incredible director, Wes Craven, passed away and I wasn’t sure about doing a film without him. But the new directors came to me with this beautiful letter, saying they’ve become directors and love film because of these films and because of Wes. And they really want to be true to his story and his journey with these films. So, I was really happy to hear that.”
