According to a source close to actress Courtney Cox, there are discussions underway between Cox and the creators of the Scream film series. If negotiations progress positively, Cox might reprise her role as Gale Weathers in the upcoming installment of the franchise. This news surfaced following the announcement of Neve Campbell’s return to the cast, which she shared with her fans via social media. The seventh movie of the series will be helmed by Kevin Williamson, the writer and creator of the original Scream.
Neve Campbell expressed her excitement about returning to the Scream series through an Instagram post, stating how thrilled she is to bring back her character, Sidney Prescott. She conveyed her enduring appreciation for the franchise and the significant role it has played in her career. This announcement comes after setbacks faced by the franchise last year, including Jenna Ortega’s withdrawal due to scheduling conflicts and the dismissal of Melissa Barrera by Spyglass over social media posts related to the Israel-Hamas conflict.
Director Kevin Williamson also shared his enthusiasm for the upcoming film on Instagram, expressing gratitude for the journey the Scream franchise has taken over the past three decades. He expressed excitement about directing the seventh installment and collaborating once again with Neve Campbell. Williamson emphasized the importance of meeting the expectations of the franchise’s dedicated fan base, promising further updates on the film’s development soon.
