\n\tAfter surviving five encounters with Ghostfaces past, Neve Campbell<\/a> decided her Scream VI<\/a> offer wasn\u2019t worth another brush with death.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe actress explained that after stepping back<\/a> from the franchise in 2022, she was surprised to be reprising her role as Sidney Prescott again in Scream 7<\/a>, which premieres February 27 in theaters.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWhen I made that decision, I just didn\u2019t think I could live with myself walking on set,\u201d she said on CBS Mornings<\/a>. \u201cI just didn\u2019t 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tCampbell continued, \u201cWhen I said goodbye to it, I thought that was it. I knew that there was a good chance that would be it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tWhen asked if she was OK with that decision, Campbell explained, \u201cWell, I had to be. I mean, I was sad. When I knew they were having their first day of shooting and I wasn\u2019t there, I was like, \u2018That sucks.\u2019 But at the same time, I knew that my decision was right. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cAnd when I spoke out about it, it wasn\u2019t really to sort of rally everybody,\u201d she added. \u201cIt 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAfter reprising her role as \u201cfinal girl\u201d Sidney Prescott in the fifth installment, Scream (2022), Prescott announced the \u201cvery difficult decision to move on<\/a>\u201d from the role for Scream VI (2023)<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cSadly I won\u2019t be making the next Scream film,\u201d she wrote in part. \u201cAs a woman I have had to work extremely hard in my career to establish my value, especially when it comes to Scream. I felt the offer that was presented to me did not equate to the value I have brought to the franchise.\u201d<\/p>\n
