Neve Campbell on Scream movie offer - “I Couldn’t Walk on Set Feeling Undervalued”

[geechiedan]

Now, in a new interview with People, the star who is known by Scream fans as iconic survivalist Sidney Prescott is expounding on what happened behind the scenes that led to what she has called the difficult decision to cut ties with the hit horror franchise.

“I did not feel that what I was being offered equated to the value that I bring to this franchise, and have brought to this franchise, for 25 years,” Campbell, who is 48, reiterated, speaking to the magazine for a new campaign video for the American Red Cross. Citing the reasons as negotiations-related, she added: “And as a woman in this business, I think it’s really important for us to be valued and to fight to be valued. I honestly don’t believe that if I were a man and had done five installments of a huge blockbuster franchise over 25 years, that the number that I was offered would be the number that would be offered to a man.”

That, she says, is why she couldn’t return for the next film.

“In my soul, I just couldn’t do that. I couldn’t walk on set feeling that — feeling undervalued and feeling the unfairness, or lack of fairness, around that,” said Campbell, who currently stars on the popular Netflix series The Lincoln Lawyer and will next appear in Peacock’s live-action video game adaptation Twisted Metal.

In a separate interview to Entertainment Tonight, however, Campbell suggested that she could change her mind if they matched her value.

“I care about these movies. If they were to come to me with an amount that felt in keeping with… the value that I bring them, I would certainly consider it,” she said, while continuing to promote her work with the American Red Cross. “I care about these new directors. They did such a great job on the last one and I wish them luck.”

In the original 1996 horror film created by Kevin Williamson and Wes Craven, Campbell starred as Sidney Prescott, who, along with an ensemble cast including Courteney Cox and David Arquette, faced off with a killer nicknamed Ghostface.

Paramount and Spyglass have planned a sixth installment after the successful fifth chapter debuted earlier this year. James Vanderbilt and Guy Busick co-wrote the screenplay, with Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett returning as directors. The film hits theaters March 31, 2023.

The star of the hit horror films told People about departing over salary negotiations: "I honestly don't believe that if I were a man and had done five installments of a huge blockbuster franchise over 25 years, that the number that I was offered would be the number that would be offered to a man."

'Jurassic World' star Bryce Dallas Howard says she was paid 'so much less' than Chris Pratt for sequel: 'I was at a great disadvantage'


The "Jurassic World" star Bryce Dallas Howard exclusively told Insider that she was paid "so much less" than her costar Chris Pratt for the movie franchise than reports initially indicated.

Pratt and Howard were co-leads in all three movies in the "Jurassic World" trilogy. But in 2018, Variety reported that Howard was paid $2 million less than Pratt for the second movie, "Fallen Kingdom," earning $8 million while Pratt took home $10 million.

In an interview with Insider to mark the home-entertainment release of "Jurassic World Dominion," Howard said the pay gap between her and Pratt was, in fact, larger.

"The reports were so interesting because I was paid so much less than the reports even said, so much less," Howard told Insider exclusively. "When I started negotiating for 'Jurassic,' it was 2014, and it was a different world, and I was at a great disadvantage. And, unfortunately, you have to sign up for three movies, and so your deals are set."

Howard added that she discussed the pay gap with Pratt, and that he pushed for the actor to receive equal pay on other franchise opportunities that were not already contractually binding, such as spinoff video games and theme-park rides.




"What I will say is that Chris and I have discussed it, and whenever there was an opportunity to move the needle on stuff that hadn't been already negotiated, like a game or a ride, he literally told me: 'You guys don't even have to do anything. I'm gonna do all the negotiating. We're gonna be paid the same, and you don't have to think about this, Bryce,'" Howard said.

The actor continued: "And I love him so much for doing that. I really do, because I've been paid more for those kinds of things than I ever was for the movie."

In recent years, the issue of pay gaps between men and women in Hollywood has become more of a public issue.

In 2019, the "Grey's Anatomy" star Ellen Pompeo told Variety that she almost quit the show after hearing that her costar Patrick Dempsey was being paid almost twice what she was when the show started.


That same year, Michelle Williams said she was "paralyzed in feelings of futility" after it was disclosed that her "All the Money in the World" costar Mark Wahlberg earned $1.5 million for reshoots for the movie, while she earned $1,000.

Howard said the pay gap reported for 2018's "Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom" were inaccurate, but that Pratt pushed for equal pay in other areas.

Swizz Beatz, Timbaland Sue Triller For $28 Million Over Verzuz Deal

The suit comes over a year after the producers sold Verzuz to Triller

Timbaland and Swizz Beats filed a $28 million dollar lawsuit against social media app Triller, alleging the company has missed numerous payments to the two producers since Triller acquired their rap battle show Verzuz last year.

In the suit, filed in Los Angeles Superior Court on Tuesday, Swizz and Timbaland — whose real names are Kaseem Daoud Dean and Timothy Mosley — allege that they’d been trying to get the remainder of their earnings from the sale since the beginning of 2022. With the Verzuz acquisition, Triller “unequivocally and unconditionally guaranteed to Mosley and Dean the payment and performance of Triller Hold’s obligations under that agreement and related agreements,” the suit said. At the time of the purchase, neither Dean and Mosley nor Triller disclosed how much the acquisition was worth. It isn’t clear how much Triller has already paid the two Verzuz founders.


Representatives for both Dean and Mosley declined Rolling Stone’s request for comment.
Dean and Mosley created Verzuz at the beginning of the pandemic, where it skyrocketed in popularity as artists and fans took to the show while stuck at home during quarantine. It quickly morphed from casual rap battles on Instagram Live into a full-fledged media company airing higher-quality productions, drawing in millions of viewers and airing special programming for the NFL’s 2021 Pro Bowl. At its height, an appearance on Verzuz could boost an artists’ streams by as much as 250 percent, as Rolling Stone previously reported.



Verzuz secured a deal with Apple in 2020, and by 2021, Triller, looking for content to compete with TikTok, bought the show. As the suit claims, under their original deal, Triller, which officially closed the Verzuz purchase on January 21, 2021, was to pay Dean and Mosley both shortly after the deal and on the first and second anniversary of the purchase. Triller paid the duo in January and April 2021, the suit says, but by January 28, 2022, the company had allegedly defaulted on its next required payment.

According to the suit, in February, Triller and Mosley and Dean entered a new payment settlement agreement, and Triller made its first payment in that new agreement. According to the agreement, Triller was looking to secure $100 million before paying the producers. As part of the new agreement, following that February payment, Triller had to pay the duo $18 million by March 17th, then $1 million per month for the following 10 months until the full $28 million had been paid. The suit alleges that Triller has missed all those payments.

For Triller, the suit is just the latest controversy in a growing list of allegations that the company isn’t properly paying for content on its platform. Last week, the Washington Post published an extensive report detailing allegations from dozens of Black content creators that Triller pulled them onto the service from TikTok promising a lucrative business opportunity, only for Triller to pay them inconsistently.
Those creators, according to the Post, now face heavy debts and threats of eviction from their apartments. And last year, Universal Music Group pulled its music from Triller, alleging the company wasn’t paying artists after using their music. (By May of 2021, the two companies made a new licensing agreement for UMG’s music on Triller.)

In a statement to the Post regarding the creator program, Triller’s CEO Mahi de Silva said the company “has met its financial commitments to the creators in this program and will continue to do so. We specifically take pride in our role in creating a platform that celebrates Black creator content,” he told the newspaper. “No other medium has done as much as Triller has for this often overlooked and underrepresented part of the creator economy.”


A rep for Triller didn’t immediately reply to request for comment.

Being that she was the centerpiece of the franchise, I can respect her choice. ...although she's not really anywhere near the name that she was in the late 90's early/2000's, so depending on what the offer was, she may or may not be in denial.

...but I gotta say.... if they planned any topless scenes for her character.... thank goodness she left!!!!!!!!!!!

[crossovernegro]

Sounds like she at least gets that though. In another article she said straight up that Chris, coming off of Guardians was most definitely a bigger draw than her. I think she's mainly pissed that the studio originally made it sound like she made way more $$$ than she did for the flick in press releases.

Ain't nobody checkin for her. He did her a solid by negotiating all the other deals to get her equal pay. She signed the contract as a nobody. The movie made her, she ain't make or break that movie.

Exactly. Who the fuck is she other than Ron Howard's daughter. They could have had anybody playing that role. Anybody

You see how that white bitch and Batman Begins was her place by that uglier white bitch in The Dark Knight? Just that easy that shit can happened.

I understand knowing your value, but now you get nothing. It can be a Muhammad Ali moment AKA a Dave Chappelle moment... or it can be a Latrell Sprewell moment. We'll see which one it is
