Courteney Cox ready to shriek again in ‘Scream 4’

Monday, Nov 16, 2009

Courteney Cox isn’t done running from masked serial killers.

The 45-year-old “Cougar Town” and “Friends” star says she’s excited about returning to the horror genre in “Scream 4,” the upcoming slasher sequel being written by Kevin Williamson, who wrote the first two films in the popular horror trilogy. Cox met her husband, 38-year-old actor David Arquette, on the set of the first “Scream” film in 1996.

“There are really only a few of us that survived,” says Cox.

Cox and Arquette will reprise their roles as overzealous reporter Gale Weathers and bumbling sheriff Dwight “Dewey” Riley in the fourth installment, along with 36-year-old actress Neve Campbell, who starred as the series’ heroine, Sidney Prescott. Cox shrugged off rumors that Weathers and Dewey would be killed off at the beginning of the film.

“They’re probably back living in Woodsboro,” Cox said referring to the small California town that was the setting of the first film. “I think that he’s probably still deputy, and I’ve had a lot of kids. I don’t know. I’m probably miserable, and then I’m sure a lot of murdering will happen.”

“Cougar Town”‘s Courteney Cox, named “Hot Mama,” graces the cover of this special issue of the magazine. She told ET of her pictorial, “I like it. I think it’s great…I haven’t seen the actual one, but I saw a Xerox of it and it looked good.”

Co-star Ian Gomez commented, “Finally, someone’s realized that she’s hot. Not as hot as my wife of course, but hot none the less.” He scored brownie points with wife, actress Nia Vardalos, who was by his side.

Scream 4 a Hit at the American Film Market

Tuesday, Nov 10, 2009

In a morning report about the 2009 American Film Market – which was admittedly glum last year but is now seeing a silver lining – Screen Daily says The Weinstein Company’s Scream 4 has been a hit in the marketplace with buyers “flocking” to the title. This is even before Kevin Williamson has even turned in a draft of the script . Early buzz in the marketplace could spell good things for Dimension Films which has had a sluggish 2009. It might even prompt the Weinsteins to move a little faster to lock down a director. Wes Craven is being courted to return, but he wants to see a script first.

The horror series that reignited the genre and gross[ed] more than $500 million worldwide is back! From Kevin Williamson, creator of the original Scream trilogy, the new film sees the return of cast members Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox and David Arquette, along with a group of new stars, who can all hopefully stay alive long enough to figure out the new rules to this one-of-a-kind horror franchise!

The synopsis agrees with the Scream 4 details Williamson revealed to MTV. The fourth one is an ensemble. It’ll take place right now, 10 years later, and it’s going to take place in [Sidney Prescott’s hometown of] Woodsboro.

Perry turns Cox down on ‘Cougar’ role

Monday, Nov 9, 2009
Courteney Cox has revealed that Matthew Perry rejected an offer to feature on her Cougar Town series.

The pair co-starred in Friends from 1994 until 2004, playing Monica Geller and Chandler Bing respectively. Their characters ended up marrying during the long-running comedy show’s seventh season.

The 40-year-old actor passed on the chance to rekindle their on-screen romance on the ABC show, Contactmusic reports.

“I did ask Matthew if he’d play my boyfriend on the show,” Cox told Us Weekly. “He thought it was a little much after Chandler and Monica.”

Cox’s former Friends castmate Lisa Kudrow was previously announced to guest star as a dermatologist on Cougar Town.

ABC recently optioned Perry’s untitled comedy project, which he will co-write, executive produce and star in.
