Mason Gooding to Return for ‘Scream 7’ (EXCLUSIVE)
variety.comMason Gooding will be back for more “Scream.” Sources tell me that the actor will reprise his role Chad Meeks-Martin for the seventh installment of the horror franchise.
Jasmin Savoy Brown, who plays Chad’s sister Mindy, has not officially signed on yet. News of Gooding’s return comes after the film weathered production delays, creative overhauls and cast shakeups.
Back in March, Gooding addressed the hiccups. “If it could make money, I guarantee, they’re making it,” he told me at the time. “It’s all about keeping up with what feels like is the best movie for the fans. ‘Scream’ doesn’t exist without the people who enjoy is as much as they do. … If people want it, they will certainly try their best to see it happen.” Neve Campbell announced she was returning for “Scream 7” after she skipped the sixth film due to a salary dispute.
Along with Campbell’s return, the film will mark Kevin Williamson’s first time directing a “Scream” movie. Williamson wrote the script for the first “Scream” in 1996.
