Christopher Landon Exits Scream 7 After Threats

Christopher Landon, originally set to direct 'Scream 7', exited the project due to death threats following the firing of actress Melissa Barrera for her controversial posts about the Israel-Palestine conflict. Despite the FBI's involvement, the threats persisted, with Landon receiving messages endangering his family. Barrera's dismissal was made by the production company, Spyglass Media, not Landon, yet fans mistakenly held him responsible. Landon ultimately decided to leave the project in December 2023, citing the abuse as overwhelming. The film's tumultuous situation also led to star Jenna Ortega's departure, further complicating the production.
