Neve Campbell 'in limbo for 'Scream 4'

Kevin Williamson has reportedly admitted that he is having trouble writing Scream 4 without Neve Campbell's character Sidney.

Director Wes Craven has suggested in numerous interviews that Campbell would not be returning to the horror franchise.

Williamson has recently caused speculation surrounding Campbell's return when he expressed that his writer's block was due to the actress not being involved in the project.

He said on his Twitter page: "Trying to figure out a Sid-less scenario, this sucks."

The writer has clarified that letting go of Campbell's character Sidney for the new trilogy would be very difficult.

Williamson told Pop Wrap: "I've had numerous conversations with Neve. She's a friend. Nicest girl on the planet. It just ain't workin' out and it sucks for me. It was no cameo. I'd never play Sid out that way. And I ain't got no Sid-less scenario. So, I don't know yet what to do.

"Hate all the wrong info circulating. My fault. There's a learning curve with Twitter. I gotta watch it."

Courteney Cox and David Arquette are currently the only confirmed returning cast members from the Scream series.
