The director of the franchise told followers on Twitter that he is losing control over the project because of changes in the writing team.
Scream 3 writer Ehren Kruger has been drafted in to reboot Kevin Williamson's script.
Speaking to Total Film, the horror legend said: "There was a bumpy period when things shifted over from Kevin to Ehren.
"I signed up to do a script by Kevin and unfortunately that didn't go all the way through the shooting."
He added that it is "not entirely" his film but his job is "much more bringing whatever experience and expertise and creativity I can".
The third sequel, starring regulars David Arquette, Courteney Cox and Neve Campbell, will open on April 15 in the UK.
