Talks with Courteney Cox about reprising the function of Gale Weathers in Scream 7 started in March, however she nonetheless hasn’t signed on
Spyglass Media and Paramount Photos as soon as supposed to make a Scream 7 that may have starred Scream (2022) and Scream VI leads Melissa Barrera and Jenna Ortega, with Freaky and Pleased Demise Day director Christopher Landon on the helm. However then Ortega allegedly requested for a substantial pay elevate – and as we noticed when Neve Campbell dropped out of Scream VI because of a pay dispute, these pay points don’t are inclined to work out. Then Barrera was fired from the mission after feedback she made concerning the Israel-Hamas struggle didn’t go over effectively with executives at Spyglass. Landon dropped out the of the mission quickly after. So Scream 7 has been re-developed, Campbell has signed on to return as franchise heroine Sidney Prescott, again within the lead function – and whereas there’s not loads that we all know concerning the present state of the movie, one factor we thought we knew for positive is that franchise common Courteney Cox would even be again within the function of reporter / writer Gale Weathers. However that’s not the case. Though Cox was first mentioned to be “in talks” to affix the mission again in March, six months later she nonetheless has not closed her deal and signed on.
Talking with Selection, Cox mentioned, “I’m not formally signed on. I’m not, however there might be a Scream 7. … They’re rewriting on a regular basis. It’s not like I don’t know what’s occurring.“
Kevin Williamson, who wrote the screenplay for the unique Scream, is ready to direct this new sequel. Along with writing the unique Scream, Williamson has additionally written I Know What You Did Final Summer season, Scream 2, The School, and Halloween H20 (the place his script contributions have been uncredited). He wrote the preliminary drafts of Scream 3 and Scream 4, then these each obtained some main rewrites. For Scream 7, he’ll be working from a screenplay by 2022’s Scream and Scream VI author Man Busick, who crafted the story together with his co-writer on the fifth and sixth movies, James Vanderbilt. (Vanderbilt can be a producer on the newest sequels.) Williamson made his directing debut with the 1999 thriller Instructing Mrs. Tingle. Twenty-five years later, Scream 7 might be his second directing credit score.
Cox informed Selection she’s “excited” that Williamson goes to be on the helm of this sequel, which is predicted to start out filming in December or January. “You’ll be able to’t get higher than that selection. It’s going to be enjoyable.“
So it feels like Cox will gladly be concerned with Scream 7, if Gale Weathers finally ends up being included within the script in a passable method. She’s hoping Gale’s ex Dewey, who was performed by David Arquette and killed off within the fifth movie, will even have the ability to make some type of an look. “I perceive the explanations they did it (killed Dewey), however whoa! Speak about a missed character. Dewey is so liked by Scream followers. They must determine it out.“
