Scream 7: Courteney Cox in Talks to Reunite With Neve Campbell Against Ghostface

Scream 7 might be getting Courteney Cox back for the sequel. Variety reports that the actress is in talks to reprise her role as Gale Weathers in Scream 7. Director Kevin Williamson looks to be assembling his old crew for one last job. This news comes hot on the heels of Neve Campbell's much-discussed return to the Scream franchise. She announced her return as Sidney Prescott on Instagram. Previously, she wasn't going to show up because of a solary dispute that has since been rectified. There's been a bit of upheaval in the franchise since Melissa Barrera's firing.

Late last year, the actress was removed from the project after posting about the current conflict going on in Palestine. Spyyglass has hurried to pick up the pieces for Scream 7 and even changed directors in the months after that. (Aldso Jenna Ortega left the project for separate reasons as well.) It feels like the already navel-gazing franchise is going to shift into hyperdrive for the next installment as it looks towards the past to chart a path to future movies.

Sidney Prescott Is Already Back

On Instagram, Neve Campbell already addressed her return in Scream 7. The fans were super surprised by the news of her signing on. In the same vein, Kevin Williamson coming back to direct also had people on social media talking. It's feeling like a reunion special these days, which is all the rage around Hollywood. Check out what the actress had to say right here.

"Hi All. I'm so excited to announce this news!!! Sidney Prescott is coming back!!!!" Campbell typed. "It's always been such a blast and an honor to get to play Sidney in the Scream movies. My appreciation for these films and for what they have meant to me, has never waned. I'm very happy and proud to say I've been asked, in the most respectful way, to bring Sidney back to the screen and I couldn't be more thrilled!!! Well actually I could." 

She continued, "While I've been so incredibly lucky to make these films with both the master of horror Wes Craven and the wonderfully talented Matt and Tyler team, I've dreamt for many years of how amazing it would be to make one of these movies with Kevin Williamson at the helm. And now it's happening, Kevin Williamson is going to direct Scream 7! This was his baby and it's his brilliant mind that dreamt up this world. Kevin is not just an inspiration as an artist but has been a dear friend for many years. To the amazing Scream fans, I hope you are as excited as I am. See you on set @kevwilliamson"
