Arquettes Returning for ‘Scream’ Reboot?

The idea is to churn out these reboots as quickly as friggin’ possible now, right?   Isn’t it about time to reboot ‘Benjamin Button’?   Doesn’t ‘The Wrestler’ need to be remade immediately only with a younger character, and it revolves around Sumo wrestling.

Evidently, writer/director Kevin Williamson is planning a new trilogy of ‘Scream’ films.   Of course, while this planned trilogy of films is regarded as a reboot/relaunch of the original franchise that began in 1996, Williamson is planning on many of the same characters and actors to return.   David Arquette and Courtney Cox Arquette have reportedly been approached by Williamson to reprise their respective roles.   Schedules are being hammered out and negotiations are underway, but I would put down some solid money that both of these actors will return.   For sure David Arquette will likely return.   Courtney Cox Arquette has her new show, Cougar Town, premiering on ABC, but we’ll see how long that lasts.

Okay.   Let’s analyze.   It’s a new set of ‘Scream’ films.   It has some of the same characters as the original trilogy.   These same characters are to be played by the exact same actors.   Soooooooo…..it’s a sequel?   Yeah.   I think that makes it a sequel.

Whether the Arquettes return or not, I’m sure Williamson is going to finish his screenplay, and slapping the ‘Scream’ title on it will surely get it funded.   The chances of us seeing a new ‘Scream’ in the next few years are fairly good.
