Courteney Cox Updates on Scream 7 Casting

Courteney Cox has not officially signed on for 'Scream 7', despite earlier reports suggesting she would reprise her role as Gale Weathers. She expressed hope that David Arquette's character, Dewey, could somehow return, calling his death in the fifth film a missed opportunity for fans. Cox noted that the script is still being rewritten, and she is being kept informed about developments. Meanwhile, Neve Campbell is confirmed to return as Sidney Prescott after previously skipping 'Scream 6' due to a salary dispute. The film has faced controversy with the exits of new leads Melissa Barrera and Jenna Ortega, leaving its future direction uncertain. Filming is set to begin in December with Kevin Williamson directing, marking his first time in the role since the franchise's inception.
