David Arquette<\/strong> is out blowing his horn and making the most of the upcoming Scream 7 sequel, hoping to boost his career, but insiders say his costar and baby mama Courteney Cox<\/strong> wants him to cool his jets fearing he\u2019ll jinx the flick \u2014 and her pal Jennifer Aniston<\/strong>\u2019s been drawn into the drama too.<\/p>\n An insider says David, 54, Courteney\u2019s ex and dad of their 21-year-old daughter, Coco<\/strong>, \u201cis definitely feeling himself\u201d over reprising his role as bumbling Deputy Dewey Riley, \u201cbut he seems almost oblivious to how instrumental Courteney was in getting him back into the series, since his character had previously been killed off.\u201d<\/p>\n Dimension Films\/MCT<\/span><\/p>\n Sources credit Courteney with pulling the horror series back from the brink of cancellation and reuniting the original 1996 cast \u2014 including herself, David, Neve Campbell<\/strong>, Matthew Lillard<\/strong> and Skeet Ulrich<\/strong> \u2014 for the sequel debuting Feb. 27.<\/p>\n Miramax<\/span><\/p>\n Still, David was out making appearances and promoting the movie with a Halloween screening of the original and discussion in Tacoma, Wash., for $75 a ticket.<\/p>\n Notes the insider: \u201cSure, in part he\u2019s justified, since the buzz around the upcoming movie is pretty strong.\u201d<\/p>\n MEGA<\/span><\/p>\n But Courteney, 61, now in a love-in with 49-year-old Irish singer Johnny McDaid<\/strong>, \u201chas chosen to be low-key, and David has chosen to be the opposite,\u201d says the insider. \u201cHe\u2019s already doing the media rounds to hype up his return to making studio movies.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s all a bit annoying to Courteney and of course to Jen. They love David, but the bragging, the strutting and the wild pro-wrestling-style antics are not their taste.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThe problem is \u2014 he badly wants to get back to being a full-time movie star and the slightest bit of attention he gets completely goes to his head.\u201d<\/p>\n Another rub is that \u201cit\u2019s also just bad luck to be out there celebrating a movie so far in advance of its release, and Courteney is famously one of the most superstitious actors in Hollywood,\u201d adds the insider.<\/p>\n \u201cI just don\u2019t think David appreciates how big a lift this was for her, because he\u2019s so caught up in his own comeback narrative.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cShe and Jen are just hoping David can keep his act together and not jinx the whole movie.\u201d<\/p>\n This story Courteney Cox Peeved By Ex David Arquette Hyping Up His Big Return to \u2018Scream 7\u2019 Too Soon<\/a> first appeared on Globe<\/i><\/a>.
