Scream 7 Former Director Reveals the Real Reason He Quit the Project

Landon shared with Entertainment Weekly that the movie project was no longer ongoing, as the entire script centered around Barrera. Having joined the project with the expectation of making a specific movie, Landon left the production just a week after Barrera’s departure. He explained, ‘I didn’t sign up to make a Scream movie; I signed up to make that particular movie. When that movie was no longer in existence, I moved on.’ Although he quickly made his decision, Landon chose not to release a public statement to manage the complicated aftermath. ‘At the time, I was still working through my feelings about everything that transpired,’ he said. ‘When things unfolded, it was something I was trying to deal with privately and fairly. People in the public eye often face criticism for not providing an immediate response or agreeing with others.’
