Image Credit: JAMES DIMMOCK FOR EWThe stars of Scream — David Arquette, Courteney Cox, and Neve Campbell — had a good reason to get back together for EW’s Reunions photo shoot on July 20: They were already together in Ann Arbor, Mich., filming the highly anticipated fourth film in the hit slasher franchise. Scream 4, due in theaters April 15, finds sheriff Dewey (Arquette), former tabloid newshound Gale (Cox), and newly published author Sidney (Campbell) once again targeted by the knife-wielding Ghostface. “For years now, it’s always been ‘When are you guys gonna do another one?’ ” says Campbell, 37. “And I’d say, ‘No, no.’ And here we are!”
So what can Scream fans expect from this latest installment of the horror phenomenon? Well, first of all, Sidney has written a self-help book. “She ends the book tour with going to Woodsboro and there she finds her cousin and her aunt and some friends and trouble ensues,” says Campbell. (It’s Kind of a Funny Story‘s Emma Roberts plays Sid’s cousin, Jill, and Battlestar Galactica‘s Mary McDonnell plays Sid’s aunt, Kate).
Meanwhile, Gale and Dewey have settled into a life of domestic bliss in Woodsboro, which is driving Gale nuts. (At the time of EW’s interview, the real-life couple, Cox and Arquette, were pre-separation, still enjoying domestic bliss themselves.) “We’ve been married for 10 years,” says Cox. “I kinda gave up my job as the entertainment journalist. I’ve written six books, but now I have major writer’s block. I’m bored with my life and bored with my marriage and bored with the silly small town of Woodsboro.” READ FULL STORY »
