Melissa Barrera had some ideas for Samantha Carpenter after reading the first draft of Scream6. Find out what she pushed for on a new edition of ColliderLadiesNight!
I always want more time at the end of interviews, but especially at the end of interviews with Melissa Barrera. I had the pleasure of having her on Collider Ladies Night in January of 2022 for the release of Scream and every single answer was thoughtful, detailed, and oozing with passion for her craft.
“From when Scream came out, Scream 2022 in January, then I didn't work until we started shooting Scream in June. I was busy. I was doing stuff and I was traveling back and forth, and I was doing promo, and I went to Europe and visited my sister. So I was moving, but I wasn't working and there's a part of me that gets really sad when I'm not working. So it was a hard half of the year for me, and I was so desperate to work.
Barrera doesn’t just want to book roles in those smaller independent productions; she wants to have the star power to get those types of films off the ground. Here’s how she put it: “If something doesn't feel honest to me in the moment, I go into a full body block. Like my body and my mind and my heart does not let me continue acting because I know that it will be phony, and it happened a lot to me in this last movie that I did. And thankfully, I had a director that we had a great relationship coming in, a lot of trust, and I told her, ‘This is probably one of the most difficult roles I've ever done.
There’s nothing more valuable than having supportive and collaborative filmmakers who value your voice and input at your back at times like that, and that’s exactly what she had on Scream VI as well. After shifting the focus of the conversation to the new Scream installment, Barrera admitted she had some concerns for her character after reading the very first draft of the Scream VI screenplay.
