Internet demands cancellation of 'Scream 7' as director Christopher Landon exits 'nightmare' job

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: The 'Scream' franchise, beloved by cinephiles, is facing unprecedented challenges with its upcoming installment, 'Scream 7', as director Christopher Landon exits, describing the project as a "nightmare."

Troubles began earlier for the franchise, when Melissa Barrera, the star of the fifth and sixth installment in the film series, was dismissed from 'Scream 7' due to controversial social media posts on the Israel-Hamas conflict.

Director Landon's departure has evoked a strong response on social media, with many users expressing their concerns and advocating for the cancellation of the film in light of the numerous setbacks it has encountered.

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."
