Wes Craven expects ‘Scream’ stars to return

Saturday, Apr 23, 2011

Wes Craven has suggested that Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox and David Arquette will star in another Scream movie.

Speaking to MTV, the director said that at least two more films are planned for the franchise following the recent release of Scream 4.

The “core characters” played by Campbell, Cox and Arquette will most likely appear in future instalments, Craven revealed.

“I imagine the core characters will continue. I suspect they’ll be with us until the end, because they just are the heart and soul of the movie and especially since we tend to kill off most of the other people,” the horror filmmaker said.

“They’ll be with us. There will be some continuation of the drama of Sidney Prescott’s family and the ghosts that haunt it.”

The 71-year-old helmer recently admitted that making Scream 4 was a “stressful” experience.

Courteney Cox: ‘We know we love each other’

Thursday, Apr 14, 2011

Courteney Cox says she and David Arquette are still working on their marriage.

“This is a pretty private matter that’s been made pretty public. But it’s our own fault,” Cox said this morning on Live with Regis and Kelly. “David and I are both pretty open. He’s really open. What are you going to do?”

“We have a great handle on it. We’re really close. He’s my best friend. We’re putting Coco, obviously, first. At first it wasn’t quite as easy. When you first get separated, David had a lot of acting out. He’s over 100 days sober. He’s really gotten it together. At first it was a little rough. Now we’re able to actually look at the relationship to see if we’re compatible. We know we love each other, but how does the rest of it work?”

As for the new Scream 4 movie, which also stars Arquette, Cox said the films have played a part in her marriage, “The first one we fell in love. The second one I hated him. The third one we got married. And this one, we started off having problems in the marriage.”

Last night, she told David Letterman that Arquette to “hit on” her during a recent trip to Disney World. “I told him, not right now. You don’t have the Fast Pass right now. Not for that ride.”

Courteney: Yes, David Hit on Me at Disney World

Thursday, Apr 14, 2011

Despite their problems, Courteney Cox and David Arquette are getting along great these days. But the actress isn’t letting things go too far in the romance department.

The actress, 46, admitted to David Letterman Wednesday on CBS’s The Late Show that her estranged husband, 39, got a little frisky on their recent trip to Disney World with their daughter Coco.

“He did try to hit on me, yeah,” she said. “He hit pretty hard, and I said, ‘You know, you don’t have the Fast Pass right now. Not to that ride!’ ”

She then joked that Disney policy was to “put us in separate rooms.”
The Cougar Town star, who worked with her husband on the newly released Scream 4, says that oddly enough, the pair are “kind of the best we’ve ever been,” because they’ve had to be so honest with each other.

She said she recently told Arquette that he’ll probably find “somebody named Tiffany or Britney,” and joked that they’ll need her help with the housework.

“I was by his house the other day,” she said, “and I saw that everything is looking the way he would like it to look, as opposed to the way I would like it to look. And I just said, ‘Look, when you end up with one of those girls, if we don’t make it, can I come over and just organize the drawers a little bit? Just keep it the way it was?’ ”

On a more serious note, she said Arquette is “over 100 days sober. He’s doing great.”

As for their future together, she added: “I don’t know what’s going to happen. I really don’t. I’m sure this decision needs to be made at some point, but we’re getting along so well that I hate to rock the boat. I really do.”

US Weekly: Scream 4 Review

Wednesday, Apr 13, 2011

Opens: Friday 4/15

Us Rating: ***

“I still got it!” Courteney Cox proclaims in this “screamake” of the popular ’90s slasher series. And she does! The sitcom star is the main attraction as Gale, aggressive ex-newswoman, bored wife of plodding sheriff Dewey (a comically sad-sack David Arquette) and bestselling chronicler of those gruesome Woodsboro massacres. On the anniversary of the slayings, victim turned self-help author Sidney (a sharp Neve Campbell) returns to the scene of the crime for a book signing.

She reunites with her cousin (Emma Roberts) — one of an entirely new generation of quick-witted potential targets. As nemesis Ghostface shishkebabs cops, teens and bystanders in rapid succession, Sidney must reboot her inner survivor and overcome her why-me-again self pity. The series was once considered cutting-edge: ironic about horror-movie conventions yet jump-in-your-seat scary. The only nod to the passage of time seems to be the addition of texts, tweets and webcams. But the entertaining Scream formula still works: When there’s a big shiny knife, the action never gets dull.

Courteney Cox: ‘Friends movie won’t happen’

Sunday, Apr 10, 2011

Courteney Cox has claimed that a Friends movie is unlikely to ever be made.

The Scream 4 actress, who played house-proud foodie Monica Gellar in the NBC sitcom, argued that reuniting the cast for a big-screen adventure would be a logistical nightmare.

When asked by The Mail On Sunday whether a Friends movie would ever hit cinema screens, Cox replied: “No. I just can’t see that happening. I mean, I’m not in control of it and if I was, we’d have already done it.

“But it involves so many different people’s lives and schedules that I just don’t know how you’d get it all together. So no, I don’t see it happening.”

Despite admitting to losing contact somewhat with her Friends co-stars, Cox confirmed that she had been approached by former colleague Lisa Kudrow to appear on the US version of Who Do You Think You Are?, which the 47-year-old executive produces.

Cox teased: “Lisa’s asked me to be on it; apparently they’ve found something in my family history which they won’t tell me because they like to surprise the person. It’s an amazing show and I’ll probably do it – it’s just trying to find the time.”

Cox previously confessed that she has “daydreamed” about making a Friends movie.

Her co-stars Matt Le Blanc and David Schwimmer have both rejected suggestions that a Friends movie is close to being greenlit.
