Courtney Cox is the only actress who has been in every Scream movie since 1996. But despite reports that Cox had signed on to Scream 7 back in March, she’s not actually locked down to reprise her role as Gale Weathers for the next sequel. And she doesn’t seem to be in a hurry about it.
“I’m not officially signed on,” Cox told Variety. “I’m not, but there will be a Scream 7.” Cox also mentioned that she doesn’t have a timeframe to make her decision, but she is being kept in the loop about the script. “They’re rewriting all the time,” said Cox. “It’s not like I don’t know what’s going on.”
Cox also expressed her enthusiasm for director Kevin Williamson–the original screenwriter of the franchise–who has been signed to bring Scream 7 to the big screen. “You can’t get better than that choice,” noted Cox. “It’s going to be fun.”
