Courteney Cox And David Arquette Sign On For Scream 4

David Arquette has revealed that he and wife Courteney Cox-Arquette have signed on and are set to reprise their roles as Deputy Dewey Riley and tabloid television reporter Gale Weathers in Scream 4.

Arquette told E!’s Marc Malkin:

“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.”

“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.”

When asked about a storyline, Arquette laughed saying:

“Kevin has sort of put out the broad strokes, but I don’t think I’m at liberty to share any of that.”

Williamson had recently revealed that Neve Campbell turned down the opportunity to reprise her lead role as Sidney Prescott, Arquette added:

“I hope Neve does it. I really hope so.”
