Emma Roberts is reacting to Neve Campbell not returning for the movie Scream 6. The 31-year-old is seemingly massively taken aback by 48-year-old Neve, who this month confirmed that she will not return for the sixth installation of the popular horror franchise. Neve has starred in each movie since the franchise began back in 1996. Emma, meanwhile, is a former costar of Neve, having played her on-screen niece back in the 2011 movie Scream 4 . Emma spoke with Jake’s Takes about her feelings – she doesn’t even seem to think it’s “real news.”
Not ‘Real News’
Revealing her reaction, Emma said, “Someone just sent me that [news] last night, and I was like, ‘This can’t be real news. Like, this has to be fake!’ I mean, she’s queen. That’s all I have to say.” The niece to Julia Roberts was reacting to the official statement from Hollywood favorite Neve.
