Courteney Cox and David Arquette: `Scream 4 has a family feeling`

Friday, Mar 25, 2011

Courteney Cox and David Arquette have revealed how filming Scream 4 was a bit of a family affair.

The estranged couple – who met on the set of the first Scream in 1996 – talked openly about their relationship during a short press conference for the movie on Wednesday.

Asked about making the latest instalment of the horror flick, Arquette, 39, told People, ‘There’s a real family feeling. Especially with Courteney being married and having a kid (their six-year-old daughter Coco), it just brings an honesty, and that is really my favourite part of acting.’

‘It felt very natural,’ Cox, 46, added. ‘We have had 10 more years of experience of acting, so I was that much more confident. I am now a mum, and I am just different person, but it’s coming back with your family. You know each other, and you kind of just get right back into it and are better than you were last time.’

Cox plays go-getting reporter Gale Weathers, while Arquette plays her on-screen lover, Sheriff Dewey Riley, and the former Friends actress drew comparison to their real-life relationship.

‘It is so funny that he is so earnest and she is so out to get ahead,’ she says. ‘It is just a very odd pairing, and so are we. Well, we are not really, but we kind of are. I love playing Gale. She is probably the most fun to play when it comes to playing a real character.’

Did Courteney Cox Want More Friends? “I Wish We Hadn’t Stopped”

Friday, Mar 25, 2011

I’ll get to the end of Friends and Cougar Town finale scoop in a sec, but first let’s talk Courteney Cox and Scream 4.

Most of the cast won’t reveal if they’re signed on for sequels 5 and 6 because that sort of gives away whether they’re killed in this new fourth installment.

However, Cox will tell ya…

“I’m actually not,” she admitted to me yesterday while promoting the newly hatched Ghost Face killer flick, out April 15. “I mean, I can’t really say, but you know she could always die and I can always come back in a dream. But if I didn’t die, you know, it’ll just depend on if it all comes together.”

A true Hollywood veteran who’s been down this road before, she gives an answer that leaves all the doors open.

It’s been many years since Cox played Gale Weathers, but she didn’t mind going back. “I love Gale Weathers,” she said. “I love her tenacity. She’s just a strong-willed woman. And I think she’s a little fame-hungry and power-hungry and that’s why it’s so fun to play her.”

She’s also a bit envious with how “selfish” Gale could be. “I’m not in real life,” Cox smiled. “I wish I was a little more selfish.”

As for Cougar Town, there’s a big one-hour season finale coming in May. Now, it’s not a musical episode. “We’re dealing with something pretty heavy,” Cox teased. “You haven’t seen it yet, but someone wants to have kids and someone doesn’t. That’s all I can tell you about that.”

She quickly added, “I hope I don’t get in trouble for that.”

We’d like to assume she’s talking about Jules and Grayson (Josh Hopkins). And with that in mind, will those two ever get married? “I would say one day,” Cox said. “I think that as long as the audience is liking it and it’s working out, they’ll keep it going and they’ll be dealing with real-life issues.”

Cox says she has no timeline for Cougar Town, but would like it to go for at least five seasons.

“Ten’s a long time, but I wish we hadn’t stopped,” Cox said referring to Friends. “It would’ve been nice to do 11.”

What could they have done? “Oh my gosh. I don’t know, but I was watching an episode the other and day and it still holds up! Just holds up!”

Perhaps it’s time for that Friends movie. What do you think? Should there be a Friends flick? Sound off below.

Courteney Cox on David Arquette: ‘I’m So Proud of Him’

Thursday, Mar 24, 2011

“Extra’s” Renee Bargh talked to the “Scream 4” actress about her ex, David Arquette, and his road to healing.

The two were spotted together in Malibu last weekend and Renee asked Courteney how she felt about the new and improved Arquette. Cox exclaimed, “Oh my God, I’m so proud of him!” She went on to say, “Best he’s ever looked! He’s so cute that I’m like, dude, I don’t understand. Really?! Why are you that cute right now?”

“Our communication and the way we are, just learning about each other in a different way, it’s smart,” Courteney revealed. “It’s weird to be at this age and look at ourselves but it’s hard and it’s important and I’m glad we are, so I love him,” she added.

David Arquette, now on the road to recovery, previously spoke to Renee about his sobriety and said he refused to take medication. “Part of being sober is I didn’t want to be on any pain medication because you know sobriety is really important to me right now.”

Courteney, 46, said she maintains her own health and fitness through the Tracy Anderson Method. “That will really kick your butt pretty hard. I’m not one of those people who’s like, ‘Oh, I eat donuts and I don’t know why I stay so thin!'”

See Courteney and David reunite in “Scream 4,” in theaters April 15.
