News about Melissa Barrera

Jenna Ortega has called for a ceasefire in Gaza months after her former Scream VII co-star Melissa Barrera was fired for voicing support for Palestinians. The Wednesday star posted a photo of a Palestinian family sitting in a field of flowers smiling, apparently before the October 7 Hamas attack prompted Israel's invasion. 'Masses debating over a ceasefire while thousands upon thousands of children continue being slaughtered. Where is the humanity,' she wrote. Barrera was in November dumped from the horror film after making her own posts in support of Palestinians. However, hers were more provocative than Ortega's and were deemed 'hate speech' by production company Spyglass.

Just a week after Paramount announced their Scary Movie reboot at CinemaCon in Las Vegas , actress Melissa Barrera is showing interest. The 33-year-old actress - who was famously fired from the Scream franchise for her pro-Palestine tweets - hit the red carpet for her new movie Abigail, in theaters Friday. When asked about the possibility of starring in a Scary Movie reboot for Paramount, Barrera was certainly interested.

Kathryn Newton showed off her punk rock style while attending the Los Angeles premiere of her upcoming film Abigail at the Regency Village Theatre. The Big Little Lies actress, 27, channeled her character in the film, Sammy, sporting a number of fake tattoos, including one that spelled out 'F**k' on her hand.  The graphic on her t-shirt dress depicted Count Dracula - a nod to her scary movie, which is a modern take on the 1936 film Dracula's Daughter. 

Melissa Barrera is sharing more of her tumultuous exit from the Scream franchise back in November. Sam Carpenter appeared in the fifth and sixth Scream films, and he was supposed to return in Scream 7. However, the Mexican-born actress and singer had fired shortly after her pro-Palestine social media posts following Hamas' October 7 assault.

Jenna Ortega was seen in a new teaser trailer for her forthcoming Super Bowl for Doritos, which was revealed on her Instagram account on Tuesday. In the clip, the 21-year-old actress was seen pacing through a supermarket aisles while looking for the snack brand's Dinamita rolled chips. The performer - who was recently praised by her Scream VI costar Melissa Barrera - then steps out of the market and looks at an offscreen emergency before stating: 'What the f***?'

Melissa Barrera has spoken out against being fired from Scream 7 after posting pro-Palestine material on her social media pages last year. Barrera, 33, was shot by production company Spyglass in late 2022 because they'd 'crossed the line into hate speech,' and right after she was handed the boot, co-star Jenna Ortega and director Christopher Landon left the project shortly after. Barrera responded to Spyglass' allegations of 'Holocaust distortion,' while also discussing her relationship with Ortega, who left Scream 7 due to scheduling conflicts.

On Saturday, the stars were out in full force to attend a pre-Emmy party at the Chateau Marmont in West Hollywood. In a formfitting white gown, Eiza Gonzales sparkled, while Miles Teller and his stunning wife, Keleigh Sperry, looked so loved up as they led the pack of A-listers descending on Bar Marmont ahead of Monday's upcoming awards show. Jason Momoa, Chris Rock, Florence Pugh, Chase Crawford, Shailene Woodley, Tobey Maguire, Melissa Barrera, Sophia Bush, and Jason Sudeikis were among the celebrity-studded soirees.

Scream 7's director Christopher Landon has been sacked. On Saturday, the horror specialist who created Happy Death Day and Freaky would take to X, formerly Twitter, to announce that he will no longer be directing the upcoming sequel in the famous franchise started by Wes Craven and Kevin Williamson. 'I guess now is as good a time as any to announce that I officially left Scream 7 weeks ago,' Landon said. 'This will offend some people and delight others.' It was a dream job that turned into a nightmare. And my heart did break for those involved. All are welcome. However, it's time to move forward.'

Melissa Barrera released a statement on Tuesday in the aftermath of her release from the upcoming film Scream VII after she posted a series of pro-Palestine messages on her social media pages. Spyglass, the actress, 33, who appeared in the last two films in the horror franchise and was about to shoot the next, has been dropped from production firm Spyglass for what they said 'crossed the line into hate speech.'

Jenna Ortega is reported not returning to the seventh installment of the Scream series due to her commitment to Wednesday. Ortega's departure from the Scream film was already in discussion before the SAG-AFTRA strike, according to the deadline. According to the website, the sequel's script has yet to be complete, and Ortega, 21, will be in Ireland in April to film season two of the Netflix series on Wednesday. The gun is expected to last into the summer.

Melissa Barrera has been banned from the film's production company Spyglass over social media messages critical of Israel in the midst of the ongoing war with Hamas.

Melissa Barrera has been barred from the film's development company Spyglass' forthcoming film Scream VII due to public statements dismissive of Israel in the midst of the continuing war against Hamas. According to a source, Monterrey, Mexico-born actress 33, was 'quietly dropped' from the film's cast list after Hamas militants stormed the Supernova music festival on October 7, sparking the ongoing military conflict.

Fans and colleagues have expressed their admiration for Angus Cloud's sudden death at the age of 25 with heartfelt words and personal anecdotes. The Hollywood Reporter announced on Aug. 3 that Cloud's legacy will continue in three posthumous film productions, including a thriller that may premiere as early as 2024. Cloud diversified his film and television resume with a handful of key roles, including a 2019 cameo as himself in the reality television series "The Perfect Woman," following his breakout role as Fezco in "Euphoria." Cloud appeared in "North Hollywood," a comedy-drama film loosely based on the director's life, in 2021. Cloud appeared in Ethan Berger and Alex Russek's "The Line" in 2023, starring Alex Wolff, Lewis Pullman, Halle Bailey, and Austin Abrams. Cloud's last onscreen appearance before his death was dramatic.

Angus Cloud, the character on "Euphoria," died on July 31. According to a statement from his family, the actor was at his family's home in Oakland, California. In the letter, they read, "It is with the heaviest heart that we had to say goodbye to an amazing human today." "Angus was special to us in so many ways as an artist, a brother, and a son." "He buried his father last week and was terribly distraught with this loss," the couple continued. We know Angus is now reunited with his dad, who was his closest friend. Angus spoke out about his mental health, and we hope that his passing will show others that they are not alone and that they should not attempt this on their own in silence."

In the recent film "Carmen," dancing takes center stage, but it's the singing that has fans captivated, and viewers are curious if the movie's stars, Paul Mescal and Melissa Barrera, are the ones singing in the film. Carmen is Benjamin Millepied's latest iteration of the classic opera "Carmen" and portrays her as Carmen, a Mexican immigrant who is compelled to cross the US-Mexico border illegally after her mother is murdered. Mescal plays Aidan, a US soldier who finds Carmen crossing the border but who is unable to arrest her, so he assists her in getting her to safety. The two women began a quest to find Masilda, Carmen's mother's best friend who runs a nightclub. It's in the nightclub where they take refuge and their love tale unfolds through dancing and music.

Illumination and Universal Pictures' Super Mario Bros. The World Box Office's first movie opening since opening last Wednesday, earning it the largest animated movie opening of all time ahead of Frozen 2 ($358 million) in 2019. Aaron Horvath and Michael Jelenic's $100M-budget CG-animated adventure flick, based on the Nintendo video game franchise, smashed the record for biggest video game adaptation global opening after Warcraft ($210M) in 2016

Melissa Barrera may appear to be an overnight celebrity, but she has been working on her acting career for a long time. The 32-year-old native of Mexico told People's digital newspaper on Thursday that she first developed the acting bug while in high school at the age 17. Next came NYU and a passion for theater, but her student visa ran out and she had to return home. But when life gave Barrera lemons, she made lemonade by beginning her life in Mexico, first with a reality TV show then telenovelas. Later, she appeared in In The Heights, leading to her appearance in Scream VI opposite Courteney Cox and Hayden Panetierre. The beauty of the art says, 'I am a firm believer in manifesting things into existence.'

On Tuesday, Courteney Cox discussed her long-distance friendship with her close friend Drew Barrymore. The 58-year-old Friends icon, who recently denied Prince Harry's allegations that she took magic mushrooms at her house, is on the trail for her slasher film Scream VI. The Friends actress appeared on Barrymore's show with her Scream VI co-star Melissa Barrera, where the three actors were candid in the back of an SUV as they sped around New York's streets.

According to studio estimates, Scream VI made a franchise-best of a whopping $44.5 million in domestic ticket sales. Scream 2's latest slasher film starring Courteney Cox and Jenna Ortega disappointed as it surpassed the previous series's record of $32 million that Scream 2 opened with in 1997. The film's strong debut, which was set to premiere at the 95th Academy Awards on Sunday, was yet another reminder of how horror has risen to be one of the few sure things at the box office. The Scream franchise, which Wes Craven and later distributed by Dimension Films, has seen a revival with a young cast led by Ortega, 20, and Melissa Barrera, 32, after lying dormant for more than a decade. The 27-year-old series' meta slasher talelines and serial killer Ghostface have been revived by producers Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, and it's paying off.

Jenna Ortega's latest red carpet appearance featured an unexpected pop of color. The actor wore a minidress that looked like a deconstructed tuxedo, with a plunging white button-down under a black jacket that gaped open and wrapped around her shoulders at the "Scream 6" premiere in New York City on March 6th. The edgy style was in accordance with Jean Paul Gaultier's autumn 2022 couture collection, but until someone stained it with blue ink, that is. Ortega on the white part of her gown near the neckline is shown with a prominent blue smudge, which is likely sustained as long as a fan gets her autograph. However, she seemed unbothered by the accidental blemish as she posed with her costars at the AMC Lincoln Square Theatre.

Jenna Ortega is a big Hollywood celebrity these days thanks to her starring role on Wednesday and her latest role in the film Scream VI. But the actress appeared to be on the petite side at the Scream VI premiere in New York City on Monday. That was because the 20-year-old actress from Coachella, California, was standing next to two of her tall costars. Jenna was sandwiched between Jasmin Savoy Brown and Melissa Barrera. Ortega is 5ft1in tall. Jasmin and Melissa are both 5ft7in.

On Sunday night, Drew Barrymore filmed a segment for her talk show in New York City, partnering with Courteney Cox and Melissa Barrera. Barrymore, 48, who recently revealed her untidy bedroom, wore a tawny suit and white blouse for the occasion, putting her own against the fashionable pair of Cox, 58, and Barrera, 32. Courteney stepped up in a similar fashion as Drew, sporting a slightly lighter shade of khaki and wearing dark leather boots.

True love will bring real pain. Melissa Barrera and Paul Mescal's introduction to the classic tale is included in the trailer for the new film version of "Carmen." Carmen with Mescal is the protagonist in the film, directed by Benjamin Millepied, and it will be seen in theaters this spring. The teaser trailer for the series, which was released on February 22, showcases the gritty world of the film as well as a glimpses at its tragic romance. The film is based on Georges Bizet's famous opera "Carmen" (which some young people might remember from a very important episode of "Hey Arnold"), but makes some significant improvements. Carmen is dreaming of life in Los Angeles as a change from Spain to a desert in Northern Mexico. Aidan, a former marine, appears on Mescal's Old Marine.

On Monday, Maddie Ziegler and Melissa Barrera presented fresh and floral looks at the Carolina Herrera show. Maddie, 20, wore a short black and white dress with a style that mimics tropical flowers. The hemline of the gown featured spaghetti straps and fringe. The dance Moms alum wore her long, dark hair down, paired with black strappy sandals and wore her black strappy sandals. Melissa, 32, did not cover herself up in a loose, long-sleeved white dress with a red and green floral pattern. The dress had a square neckline. The Scream actress paired her look with black strappy sandals and tangled her shoulder-length dark hair loosely.
