Christopher Landon addressed his departure from ‘Scream 7‘ on the social media application X. He said it was a dream that turned into a disaster. 

“I guess now is as good a time as any to announce I formally exited ‘Scream 7’ weeks ago,” he tweeted. “This will disappoint some and delight others. It was a dream job that turned into a nightmare. And my heart did break for everyone involved. Everyone. But it’s time to move on. I have nothing.”

He concluded by hoping that the iconic franchise, created by the late great filmmaker Wes Craven, lives on. 

“What he [Wes Craven] and Kevin [Feige] created is something amazing and I was honoured to have even the briefest moment basking in their glow,” he added.

more to add to the conversation other than I hope Wes’ legacy thrives and lifts above the din of a divided world. What he and Kevin created is something amazing and I was honored to have even the briefest moment basking in their glow.
