Tyler Gillett and Matt Bettinelli-Olpin say they 'got exited' from Scream.

It's a tumultuous time to be a Scream fan as the seventh installment continues to go in a different direction after Melissa Barrera was fired from the project. Spyglass has gotten a lot of backlash for the decision, which was reportedly due to Barrera's support for the Free Palestine movement. Shortly after Barrera's exit was announced Jenna Ortega also left the project. Scream 7 continued to go through changes when director Christopher Landon dropped out of the project.

Bettinelli-Olpin revealed that he and Gillett"reached out to Chris and just commiserated a little bit." Barrera also addressed Landon's exit from the film, saying,"I actually don't know what happened. He was very excited about it, and he had great ideas for it, so it makes me sad.""I guess now is as good a time as any to announce I formally exited Scream 7 weeks ago. This will disappoint some and delight others. It was a dream job that turned into a nightmare.

During an interview with The Messenger, Panettiere called Barrera's firing"very unfair and upsetting." She added,"After she , then a whole bunch of other actors and people in the industry started to do the same thing, right? It was almost like she just did it earlier than everyone else."
