Scream’s David Arquette Has a Great Idea for a Sequel That Still Hasn’t Been Made
David Arquette has a great idea for a sequel that still hasn’t been made. As the Scream actor recently revealed, he has a pretty spectacular idea for reviving the 1999 classic, Never Been Kissed. The rom-com starred Drew Barrymore as Josie Geller and Arquette as her brother, Rob.
Josie is a 24-year-old Chicago-based newspaper writer tasked with embedding herself in the trenches of a suburban high school, while Rob goes back to high school while impersonating a teenager. In the film, she falls hard for a teacher as he becomes the school’s popular ladies’ man.
In an exclusive interview with People, Arquette said that revisiting his character in the film “would be fun.” He acknowledged, “It’s a little tricky because it doesn’t hold up as far as… The film does, but the sort of stuff behind it, a student dating — or not dating a teacher, but you know. And my character was older and kind of dating [high school students].”
He continued to say, “I think that would be interesting [to revisit]… I always think a fun pitch would be my character’s getting out of jail, and I’m really upset with my sister because it was because of her that I had this stupid idea.”
