Ethan Shanfeld Director Christopher Landon has departed “Scream 7.” The “Happy Death Day” director announced his exit on X/Twitter Saturday, writing, “I guess now is as good a time as any to announce I formally exited ‘Scream 7’ weeks ago. 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.” He continued, “I have nothing more to add to the conversation other than I hope Wes’ legacy thrives and lifts above the din of a divided world.
