Courteney Cox Wants to Direct Scream 8

Courteney Cox, an integral part of the Scream franchise, has openly expressed her desire to direct the upcoming Scream 8. Attending the Toronto International Film Festival for the premiere of her film 'Evil Genius,' Cox stated that nobody knows the Scream movies better than she does. She believes her extensive on-set experience positions her as an ideal candidate for the director's role.

Cox's directorial credits include the 2014 film 'Just Before I Go.' Should she take the helm for Scream 8, it would mark a significant milestone, potentially creating the first entirely female-led creative team for any film in the franchise. This move would align with the series' history of strong female leads like Cox, Neve Campbell, Melissa Barrera, and Jenna Ortega.
