Yikes.So, horror fans were surprised when <a href="https://ew.com/movies/drew-barrymore-says-scream-character-may-have-survived-sequel/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Barrymore herself recently suggested</a> that she could return to play Casey in a future "Scream" sequel.Speaking to Insider, <a href="https://www.insider.com/scream-6-easter-eggs-references-callbacks-you-missed-2023-3">"Scream 6"</a> writers James Vanderbilt and Guy Busick shared their thoughts on the idea."I don't even want to," said Vanderbilt. "Listen, her liver was in the mailbox. Didn't they find her liver in the mailbox? I'm not a medical doctor but, you know."Busick reacted by reciting Stu Macher's (Matthew Lillard) joke from the first film, "Liver alone.""Look, one word: Cyborg," he added. "See, this is why we work together," replied Vanderbilt.Vanderbilt went on to recall that Barrymore actually introduced herself to "Scream 6" star Jack Champion — who plays Ethan Landry in the movie — at the premiere of the sequel."I will say, when we were in New York for the premiere of the movie, she came and was shooting something for her show and ran into Jack Champion in the lobby and turned to him and goes, 'I'm Casey Becker,'" the writer said. "And he was like, 'Oh, my God!' because he's such a 'Scream' fan, you know. She's incredible."A potential Casey Becker return aside, the duo remained tight-lipped about the future of the franchise and what they're cooking up for a potential "Scream 7.""We've already said too much with Cyborg Casey Becker," joked Busick."Scream 6" is available to download and keep on video-on-demand now, and is available on DVD and Blu-ray from July 10.

Me or y'all?'" he said. "Like, we made you guys three-quarters of a billion dollars, you can't afford to pay them what I'm making on this? Screw that."According to Prinze Jr., the studio allegedly released his salary in a magazine to persuade him to take the pay cut. He said this made him want to quit the franchise after the second film."My ego was so angry," he said.<div type="image" title="Fred, Daphne, Shaggy, and Velma in a scene from the 2002 live-action &quot;Scooby-Doo&quot; film." height="1249" width="1666" msid="95768130" hostid="261" sizebytes="71814"></div>Insider has reached out to Warner Bros. for comment.Prinze Jr. told Esquire that he later started to appreciate the "Scooby-Doo" franchise when he saw fans' appreciation of the movies on social media."All these people that had grown up loving those movies started reaching out," he said. "And then I got what I felt was a more accurate perspective on what that movie meant to people because I was no longer viewing it through the lenses of the studio."Prinze Jr. mentioned that his other frustration with the first "Scooby-Doo" movie was that the end product was not the script he signed up for.While the actor didn't go into details about what changes were made, the writer behind the two films, James Gunn, said last year <a href="https://www.insider.com/james-gunn-warner-bros-watered-down-velma-gay-scooby-doo-2020-7">that he made plans to make Velma "explicitly gay" in his script but Warner Bros. played down her queerness.</a>"In 2001, Velma was explicitly gay in my initial script," Gunn wrote last year in a since-deleted tweet. "But the studio just kept watering it down and watering it down, becoming ambiguous (the version shot), then nothing (the released version), and finally having a boyfriend (the sequel)."
