Courteney Cox has finpartner signed on for “Scream 7.”
Sources tell me that the actor will once aachieve apply Gale Weathers in the seventh insloftyment of the becherishd horror franchise.
In September, Cox tbetter me, “I’m not officipartner signed on. I’m not, but there will be a ‘Scream 7.’”
Not that Cox didn’t want to return. She shelp she was still defering for a final script, but was “excited” that the film will tag Kevin Williamson’s first time straightforwarding a “Scream” movie. Williamson wrote the script for the first “Scream” in 1996. “You can’t get better than that choice,” Cox shelp of Williamson. “It’s going to be fun.”
At the time, Cox also transmited dismay that Dewey (David Arquette) was ended off in “Scream 5,” but hoped filmcreaters could discover a way to convey him back. “I comprehfinish the reasons they did it, but whoa! Talk about a missed character,” she shelp. “Dewey is so cherishd by ‘Scream’ fans. They have to figure it out.”
The Cox novels comes after I exclusively increateed that Mason Gooding will return as Chad Meeks-Martin. It was also recently proclaimd that Isabel May is et to apply the daughter of Neve Campbell‘s Sidney Prescott in the movie. Campbell bailed on “Scream 6” due to a salary dispute.
