Sarah Michelle Gellar Wants in on The SCREAM 7 Action - “I’m Waiting on a Call”
By now, Scream fans should know to expect the unexpected, characters return from the dead, the rules are rewritten, and Ghostface is never quite who you think. But if Sarah Michelle Gellar had her way, she’d be the next familiar face back in the fold.
While walking the red carpet for the new film Pretty Hurts, the Buffy the Vampire Slayer icon revealed that she actually tried to get back into the Scream game, but her phone never rang. Gellar told ET with a laugh:
"No, I’m not in Scream, I tried to get in Scream, but nobody wanted me."
Gellar played ill-fated sorority sister Cici Cooper in Scream 2, a character who didn't make it past the second act. But given the franchise’s recent trend of bringing characters back from the dead for Scream 7, she figured maybe her time could come again.
"They’re bringing everybody back. I kept thinking I would get a call. I didn’t get a call. There’s a lot of people that died in all the Scream movies that are back. Skeet [Ulrich], [Matthew] Lillard, I’m just saying, I’m waiting for my call.”
With Ulrich, Lillard, Scott Foley, and even David Arquette coming back, the door seems wide open for some Cici Cooper resurrection, but, Cici probably wasn’t a big enough character in the franchise, and I imagine she wouldn’t fit in with the story that director Kevin Williamson is looking to tell.
