First Disney executives chastised the Miramax co-chairmen for overstating Scream 2's opening grosses; now actress NEVE CAMPBELL may not star in Scream 3. Why? Just before Scream 2 opened, Campbell, 24, expressed interest in acting in another Miramax film--Rounders, by The Last Seduction director JOHN DAHL, which was scheduled to go into production before the holidays.
