Wow, some critical battle traces are being drawn in Hollywood proper now over the Israel-Hamas warfare. And penalties have transcended the barrier from real-world horror into the faux enjoyable sort of horror.
On Tuesday The Hollywood Reporter dropped the stunning information that Melissa Barrera has been FIRED from Scream 7!

THR says the shock twist of the knife comes after the 33-year-old posted negatively on social media about how the Israeli authorities is dealing with Gaza. In one Instagram Story publish the outlet identified, she wrote:
“Gaza is currently being treated like a concentration camp… Cornering everyone together, with no where to go, no electricity no water… People have learnt nothing from our histories. And just like our histories, people are still silently watching it all happen. THIS IS GENOCIDE & ETHNIC CLEANSING.”
Like many younger folks getting loss of life threats and different penalties, Melissa has been urging a ceasefire — one thing that appears fairly objectively cheap. But any wavering in approval of the Israeli authorities has been handled by some as antisemitism, a very scary precedent, even for folk who confronted Ghostface twice.
Spyglass has but to remark. We’re principally curious to see how her co-stars react. Will Jenna Ortega be OK together with her protecting massive sis being canned?
Obviously the franchise generally appears snug with pivoting, having rewritten Scream 6 to be the primary movie with out Sidney Campbell after Neve Campbell walked over what she felt was a lowball wage. But she already had such a smaller half in these new films. Sam was the LEAD! That’s wild. All over a push for a ceasefire.
What do YOU consider this transfer, scary film followers??
