Its always been such a blast and an honor to get to play Sidney in the Scream movies.
My appreciation for these films and for what they have meant to me, has never waned.
Well actually I could.
And now its happening, Kevin Williamson is going to direct Scream 7!
This was his baby and its his brilliant mind that dreamt up this world.
Kevin is not just an inspiration as an artist but has been a dear friend for many years.
To the amazing Scream fans, I hope you are as excited as I am.
I never would have predicted what it would become.
Or that I would be directing the seventh installment of the franchise.
Thank you to all the Scream fans.
You are the gift that keeps giving.
@nevecampbellSee you on set.
