Scream Franchise Star David Arquette Has ‘Extreme FOMO’ Over Scream 7

Scream Franchise Star David Arquette Has 'Extreme FOMO' Over Scream 7

As a die-hard Scream fan and having grown up with Dewey Riley as a beloved character, I can’t help but feel a bittersweet mix of emotions upon learning about David Arquette’s feelings regarding his character’s tragic fate in the latest installment of the franchise. While it’s heartbreaking to see him grieve over Dewey’s demise, it’s also comforting to know that he cherished his time portraying such an iconic figure.


As a devoted fan, I fondly remember the last time I spent time with David Arquette’s legendary character Dewey Riley, which was in Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett’s outstanding “Scream” (2022). Sadly, that was also his farewell appearance. His final scene was emotionally charged for fans, and as he shared with TooFab ahead of his upcoming movie “The Good Half”, it was just as traumatic for him personally. As the veteran actor from the first five “Scream” films put it:

“To this day, I can’t help but feel the weight of loss when I think about Dewey. Working alongside him in those movies was an honor beyond words, and collaborating with Wes and such a talented ensemble was a dream come true. The grief I’ve experienced since his passing has been profound.”

As a devoted fan, I recently found myself reflecting on Patricia Arquette’s account of working on the 2022 film project. During our conversation, he elaborated on the unique challenges he faced, such as the significant hurdle of marketing the movie without revealing any spoilers about his character’s destiny. It was especially intriguing to hear him discuss the challenging task of promoting a Scream film without inadvertently disclosing the identity of the killer – or killers, for that matter.

“Making this movie proved challenging given the circumstances, but perhaps nothing compared to keeping quiet about its content during interviews. It was tough not to disclose details or bend the truth – maintaining secrecy was quite a struggle for me.”

In contrast to Scream VI from last year, Scream 7 will bring back Neve Campbell’s character, Sidney Prescott, who was absent due to contractual disagreements in the previous movie. The contract issues have now been resolved, allowing Campbell to reprise her role in this upcoming film.

In response to the recent updates about the cast, director, and his absence from the movie, Arquette stated:

“I’m feeling a strong sense of missing out, as I’m eagerly anticipating Kevin’s upcoming project. Given that he created the initial piece, his skill as a filmmaker, artist, and writer make me extremely curious about his perspective on this world. Seeing him direct it and reuniting the original team promises to be quite an intriguing moment.”

As someone who has spent many years immersed in the world of acting and storytelling, I can appreciate the emotional journey that comes with playing a character over an extended period. From my own experiences, I can say that letting go of a beloved role is never easy, but it can be made easier by cherishing the good times and moving forward with a positive attitude. In this case, it seems that the actor has accepted his character’s fate and chosen to remember the joyful moments from his time on the series as he moves on to new opportunities. This decision speaks volumes about his resilience and adaptability in the face of change, qualities that are essential for any artist looking to grow and evolve.

Scream 7
is expected to be released in 2025.
