Jenna Ortega Covers The Cut

Jenna Ortega is on the cover of the new issue of The Cut. Jenna is on the cover to promote her new film, Death of a Unicorn. Highlights from her interview are below.

On exiting the Scream franchise: “It had nothing to do with pay or scheduling. The Melissa [Barrera] stuff was happening, and it was all kind of falling apart. If Scream VII wasn’t going to be with that team of directors and those people I fell in love with, then it didn’t seem like the right move for me in my career at the time.”

On starring in Death of a Unicorn: “I’ve happened to join a lot of franchises, which is so great to be a part of legacy. But for me, I’m really trying to prioritize new directors and original stories. I know on the outside, maybe people are looking at my choices like, ‘Man, what the hell is this girl doing?’ I never thought I would do a movie with unicorns. But an original script is exciting. If I can help get it made, I love to do that.”

On her upcoming J. J. Abrams movie starring Glen Powell and Samuel L. Jackson: “It all feels very top secret, but it is an original J.J. script with some fantasy elements. I don’t think I’ve ever been a part of a story like this so early on.”
