‘Filming Scream 6 was strenuous!’ says Courteney Cox

• Courteney Cox says the shooting of ‘Scream 6’ is “strenuous.”
• She played reporter Gale Weathers in the spoof-horror series since it began in 1997.
• She admitted that she “missed” other characters while filming the movie.

The 58-year-old actress has played reporter Gale Weathers in the spoof-horror series since it began in 1997, but she is the only original cast member to return for its most recent installment.

She admitted that she “missed” other characters while filming the movie because she has been “lucky” to be a part of many other long-running projects like “Friends,” which she has also played a supporting role in.

She told ‘Entertainment Tonight’: “You’re so busy running or chasing Ghostface. I love this film. Of course, other characters are missed, but it’s so great, this movie. They did such a good job.It took a long time to film it was pretty strenuous, I might say, but it was fun. I’ve been lucky to do a lot of things for long periods of time. ‘Friends’ and ‘Cougar Town’ and ‘Scream’, it feels great to have family in every single situation

Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, the franchise’s filmmakers, stated their “surprise” that the franchise, which made a successful comeback in 2022 after spending more than a decade away from the big screen, had been able to do so.

Tyler said: “I think us and [writers] Guy [Busick] and Jamie [Vanderbilt], we approach it as fans and like, what would we want to see? And so, in a way, it’s a reaction to our own reaction, which is also a fan reaction..”

Matt added: “I think it was such a surprise to have Scream come back, to be involved in it, and I think we just knew that for as warm and comforting and as homage-y as the last one was, we had to take a really hard left turn for the next one, just to keep ourselves interested, right? To keep ourselves engaged and surprised.

That’s always been the compass; what is thrilling and fun and exciting to us? And hopefully people love the same thing.”
