Courteney Cox was so perfect as Gale Weathers that when Scream came out in the theaters, I never for one second thought I was watching Monica in a horror movie.

[@iheartdelrey]

Agreed.

I think Drew forever gave horror the biggest shock scene of all time. Who would have thought the biggest star in the film would be wiped out in the first setting?? Totsl masterpiece!

[@ereagan4]

Alfred Hitchcock did it with Psycho with Janet Leigh (Jamie Lee Curtis’ mom). Even if Scream didn’t do it first, it was absolutely genius of Drew to convince Wes and the producers to allow her character to be killed off.

[@robertmejico6690]

@@ereagan4 yes also a masterpiece. One of my favorite films ever. But we’re talking about killing in the first SCENE. The biggest star at that time on the entire cast, even on the poster board. I’m sure a lot of fans were expecting her to be throughout the movie.

It became Scream's trademark to cast big stars for their opening kill scene.

[@TheRedman790]

Everytime I watch Scream 3 I remember being in the theater and the first time they show Courtney on screen as Gale with the bangs, some girls a few rows back were all like "ewww/ughhhh". I still hear it in my head everytime i see that first shot of her.

[@reneeflamand8991]

I will NEVER forget, as long as I live, how I was relaxed with Drew’s scene. It was nerve racking, because she’s so good, but I kept repeating, “But they can’t kill Drew. Who would have Drew and then kill her right away? No one would do that.” And, BOOM. The movie sucked you in. From that point forward, everything changed, and I never again relaxed with any character…..in ANYthing. All bets were off…..forever. Honestly, it was like “Who shot JR?”…..but on steroids. Nothing like that had ever been done before…killing a huge actress right off the bat, when you think they’re the star of the movie you’ve just begun watching. Remember, IMDb didn’t exist. You couldn’t look up the movie and see who had top billing and get any clues. So you see Drew, and you think, “Oh, Drew is in this. Wicked cool.” I’m telling you….GAME CHANGER.

[@SaraShakur94]

Iconic and Legendary

[@pvuccino]

I think Drew was supposed to play the main character, but she was the one who suggested to Wes Craven that it was better for her to play the girl who died in the beginning, exactly for that reason.

[@jhar8975]

I agree with everything you said as far as it being a surprise and iconic but actually it was done prior in the movie Psycho. Janet Leigh was the star of the movie and it was shocking at that time for her character to be killed off as well and in such a violent way.

[@tomnorton4277]

@@jhar8975 Janet Leigh had half of Psycho dedicated to her though. Drew Barrymore was killed off far more quickly in Scream.

Great interview Drew. Seeing this iconic "Scream" trio of Neve, Courteney, and David being interviewed together again is quite a treat. Can't wait to see "Scream (2022)" this weekend. Always liked Courteney Cox. She does come off a bit serious, little awkward, and sometimes nervous in her live interviews, but those quirks I really like about her off-screen personality. She will always be remembered for her two (2) iconic character roles during the mid-1990''s, through 2000's, and now 2022: Monica Geller on the iconic "Friends" TV sitcom and Gale Weathers in the iconic "Scream" movie franchise....🤩👍🎞🎬 📆
