Earlier this month, Neve Campbell backed out of “Scream 6.”
She said that it was due to a contract dispute and they wouldn’t pay her what she was worth.
Matthew Lillard expressed his support for Campbell during a Twitter Spaces chat with Midnite Movie Club.
“Did Tom Cruise take less money for [Top Gun: Maverick]? F— no, dude. So, why is a woman supposed to take less?” he asked.
Was Scream 5 a hit or not a hit?” he asked. “It was a smash hit. Did they make a s— ton of money? Yes.”
A horror movie Facebook page called Donut’s Scary Movie Night shared his comments.
The post went viral, gaining over 136K reactions, 3.4K comments, and over 21,000 shares.
“He’s a stand-up guy, always loved him!” one fan commented.
“And that's one of the reasons I love
