‘Scream 4’ Two Arquettes Closer to Being Done

‘Scream 4’ looks to be on the move and coming soon to your theaters.  We brought you news early last month that David Arquette and Courtney Cox-Arquette were approached by screenwriter Kevin Williamson to return to their respective roles of Deputy Dewey Riley and Gale Weathers.  Evidently, Williamson, who is writing the screenplay for ‘Scream 4,’ didn’t want to even both including the characters in his script if the actors weren’t going to return.Today comes official word that both Arquettes have signed on to the film.

“We are going to be doing ‘Scream 4.’  Kevin Williamson  is writing the script at this moment, and hopefully Wes Craven is  going to direct.”

Those were the words of David Arquette to E! Online.

“I fell in love with my wife on ‘Scream,’  so the opportunity to bring [Dewey] back to life and for my wife to play that really bitchy character again, it’s just going to be really fun.  It’s just great.”

It was recently revealed that Neve Campbell had turned down Williamson’s offer to reprise her role for the fourth film.  There is still no word on Craven’s involvement with the film if any.
