Parker Posey Joins Drew Barrymore in Hoping ‘Scream’ Franchise Brings Her Back From the Dead: ‘I Actually Pitched It’

The Scream franchise is at an all-time high right now, with Marchs Scream VI grossing $106 million and counting at the domestic box office to become the series top-grossing film. No wonder former cast members like Drew Barrymore and Parker Posey are eager to return.

Posey, who has been making the press rounds in support of her role in Ari Asters Beau Is Afraid, told ComicBook.com that shes interested in reprising the role of Jennifer Jolie from 2000s Scream 3. Jennifer was the actor playing Gale Weathers (Courteney Cox) in the Stab franchise. She was killed by Ghostface, but that didnt stop Posey from recently pitching her return to the Scream team.

Well, I did an interview for WNYC Radio, like three weeks ago, for the play I was doing. And they said, Well, theres some people here that want to say hi. And it was theScreamteam, Posey said. And I actually pitched, Can I just be in another dimension and come back? And continue to I hope so. I would love to do that. That was really fun. I cant believe Wes Craven let me get away with some of the silly stuff I was doing. I loved him, and that was fun.

Poseys comments followed similar ones made by Drew Barrymore, who kicked off the Scream franchise by playing Casey Becker in the opening scene of Cravens 1996 first installment. Casey is brutally murdered by Ghostface in what remains the franchises most iconic set piece. Barrymore said on her eponymous daytime talk show (via Entertainment Weekly) that shes open to the idea of Casey returning in Scream 7.

Its funny. Ive never thought of it this way, but Im pretty sure a C-section is comparable to what happened to her, Barrymore said about her characters stab wounds. Like, literally. And Im here! Im fine! So, maybe Casey Becker will be okay With good writing,you can make anything happen.

The future of the Scream franchise remains a mystery, although a potential Scream 7 seems likely given the box office success of the most recent Scream movie. That film was the first of the franchise to not feature Neve Campbell, although it did mark the return of Hayden Panettieres Scream 4 character Kirby Reed.
