Courteney Cox reveals the funny way that she convinced horror director Wes Craven to cast her as reporter Gale Weathers in 1996’s Scream.
Courteney Cox reveals the amusing way she went about convincing Scream director Wes Craven to cast her as Gale Weathers in the hit 1996 horror. After appearing in the debut franchise entry, Gale has gone on to become a staple in the Scream movie universe. Cox landed the role of the bossy reporter only two years after first appearing as Monica in the hit NBC sitcom Friends.
In a recent interview with Variety, Cox explains that her light-hearted Friends character actually worked against her when it came to landing the role of Gale in Scream, with the actor having to talk her way into it. Cox reveals that she had to write Craven a letter in order to convince him that she could do more than just play the friendly love interest next door.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY “That’s a really fun character, especially at the very beginning when she was so ruthless. I was known from ‘Friends’ and ‘Family Ties,’ known as the girl next door and sweet. I had to talk to [director] Wes Craven and write him a letter and say, ‘I know that you don’t think of me as this person, but trust me, I really can be an absolute bitch. It was over the top in the perfect way.
While the Scream 6 trailer doesn't give away whether Gale survives or not, the previous installment demonstrated that the franchise isn't afraid to kill off major legacy characters. It's certainly possible that Gale will meet her end in the upcoming movie, which would also help to fully pass the baton to the younger generation of new characters, including Sam , Tara , Mindy , and Chad .
It's also possible, of course, that writers James Vanderbilt and Guy Busick and directors Tyler Gillett and Matt Bettinelli-Olpin will really pull the rug out from under audiences by making Gale the new Ghostface in Scream 6. This would, however, require quite a lot of explaining considering the character's long history of fighting the iconic killer.
