Scream 5: Courteney Cox back?

It’s official: Courteney Cox will reprise her role as Gale Weathers alongside ex-husband David Arquette in Scream 5!

After the official return of David Arquette in Scream 5, it’s the turn of another legendary member of the saga Scream to integrate the distribution of this new opus! It is Courteney Cox, known for her iconic role as Monica in the series Friends but not that … The actress also played journalist Gale Weathers in the franchise Scream and she will be back soon! “I can’t wait to see that face again!”, wrote the 56-year-old actress on Instagram, by sharing a video showing the terrifying face of Ghostface. If this is very good news for fans of the saga, the directors have also expressed their enthusiasm to Deadline : “We couldn’t imagine Scream without the iconic Gale Weathers and are incredibly happy and honored to have the opportunity to work with Courteney Cox ”.

If we have very little information about the fifth installment of the saga, Sheriff Dewey and reporter Gale Weathers could be joined by Sidney Prescott, played by Neve Campbell in Scream. The actress is still in discussions with Spyglass and Paramount studios to join the cast, citing a rather vague schedule due to the coronavirus epidemic. For now, we also do not know if the plot of the film will be linked to the previous parts., given that Wes Craven, the director of the first opus has passed away. The technical teams inspire confidence and will certainly make the best decision: Scream 5 will be directed by Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett (Wedding Nightmare) and the script was entrusted to James Vanderbilt (The Amazing Spider-Man, Murder Mystery) et à Guy Busick (Wedding nightmare, Castle Rock). We just have to wait for a release date to be communicated to us!
