Scream and Scream 2 may be raking in the bucks, but that doesn't mean the franchise is making BOB and HARVEY WEINSTEIN happy. 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. Miramax said she could appear in Rounders only if she would commit to Scream 3, and offered her $3 million, which would have doubled her fee. Campbell, offended by the linkage, refused. The Weinsteins then tried to entice Boogie Nights actress HEATHER GRAHAM for the Rounders role, but she was booked. Now Campbell holds the upper hand, with Rounders in need of an actress and Scream director WES CRAVEN vowing not to do a third installment without her.
