Sarah Michelle Gellar Wants in on The SCREAM 7 Action - 'I'm Waiting on a Call' — GeekTyrant
By now, Scream fans should know to expect the unexpected, characters return from the dead, the rules are rewritten, and Ghostface is never quite who you think. But if Sarah Michelle Gellar had her way, she'd be the next familiar face back in the fold. While walking the red carpet for the new film Pretty Hurts , the Buffy the Vampire Slayer icon revealed that she actually tried to get back into the Scream game, but her phone never rang. Gellar told ET with a laugh: "No, I'm not in Scream, I tried to get in Scream, but nobody wanted me." Gellar played ill-fated sorority sister Cici Cooper in Scream 2 , a character who didn't make it past the second act. But given the franchise's recent trend of bringing characters back from the dead for Scream 7, she figured maybe her time could come again. "They're bringing everybody back. I kept thinking I would get a call. I didn't get a call. There's a lot of people that died in all the Scream movies that are back. Skeet [Ulrich], [Matthew] Lillard, I'm just saying, I'm waiting for my call.' With Ulrich, Lillard, Scott Foley, and even David Arquette coming back, the door seems wide open for some Cici Cooper resurrection, but, Cici probably wasn't a big enough character in the franchise, and I imagine she wouldn't fit in with the story that director Kevin Williamson is looking to tell.

'But She Is Dead.' Jennifer Kaytin Robinson Gets Real About The I Know What You Did Last Summer Conversation She Had With Sarah Michelle Gellar About Coming Back
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. It's a good time to be a horror fan, as the genre has been thriving for years. Some of the best horror movies have returned with new sequels, and one of the most highly anticipated upcoming horror movies is the new I Know What You Did Last Summer. And director Jennifer Kaytin Robinson revealed a funny conversation she had with OG star Sarah Michelle Gellar about returning as Helen Shivers. The first trailer for I Know What You Did Last Summer was just released, showing the return of Jennifer Love Hewitt and Freddie Prinze Jr. as Julie and Ray respectively. It turns out that the director also wanted to bring back SMG, despite Helen dying in the first movie. While speaking with EW about the forthcoming sequel, she revealed how hard she tried to convince the Buffy the Vampire Slayer actor. In her words: I mean the big one, I tried relentlessly, and she's dead. I tried, okay? I harassed her! But she is dead. I tried to pitch some crazy shit too. I was like, 'What if it's like you weren't dead and you're actually alive, but in hiding?' And Sarah's like, 'I was on ice. I was the most dead a person could be. You can see my frozen body.' I was like, 'Yeah, but what if?' And she said, 'I am dead. I am Sarah Dead Gellar.' How funny is that? While Sarah Michelle Gellar shared an early set photo from the new I Know What You Did Last Summer, she couldn't be convinced to return as Helen. The Dexter: Original Sin actress simply couldn't defend it considering how long the character has been dead and gone. Instead, she was happy to reunite with her former co-stars and support husband Freddie Prinze Jr. as he mad his third appearance as Ray Bronson. Sarah Michelle Gellar is a legendary scream queen, thanks to her tenure as Buffy and roles in IKWYDLS, Scream 2, and The Grudge. While Robinson couldn't convince her return as Helen, that character's grave was shown in the new sequel's trailer. As a reminder, you can check it out below: Of course, this conversation about Sarah Michelle Gellar has me thinking about another I Know What You Did Last Summer legacy charter that I've been wanting to see return: Brandy Norwood's Karla. Unlike Helen, she actually survived I Still Know What You Did Last Summer, so she'd make much more sense to bring back. The singer/actress expressed interest in reprising that role, with Brandy even confirming she was in talks. But since she's ben missing from the cast list and the trailer, I assume this isn't happening. I Know What You Did Last Summer will hit theaters on July 18th as part of the 2025 movie release list. Just don't expect to see a cameo by Sarah Michelle Gellar.

Sarah Michelle Gellar Got Hilariously Real About Wanting to Return For Scream 7: ‘I'm Waiting On A Call'
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. It's a great time to be a fan of horror, with a slew of upcoming scary movies, including some major '90s franchises, returning to the big screen soon. Two of those big hitters are I Know What You Did Last Summer and Scream. And both properties shared one of the biggest It Girls of the time, Sarah Michelle Gellar. However, she was killed off in both series. Now, after it was confirmed she won't be in IKWYDLS after a failed pitch to return, she's humorously holding out hope of joining ranks with other deceased Scream alums. As the world continues to ponder what Scream 7 will be about after the years of turbulence surrounding the coming installment, Gellar is waiting for her call to head back into Ghostface's world. While at the premiere of the 2025 movie schedule's Pretty Hurts, the 48-year-old revealed her wish after mishearing a question about another stellar '90s show that's getting a revival, Buffy the Vampire Slayer. She shared with ET that she tried to revive her college-aged sorority girl from the Scream sequel, but to no avail: No, I'm not in Scream, I tried to get in Scream, but nobody wanted me. While I know the Cruel Intentions actress had a relatively minor role in 1997's Scream 2, it would've been real fun to see SMG reprise her character in at least one of the franchise's following blockbusters. However, when it comes to Scream 7, as far as she knows, Cici will not be back. Over the last few years, we've seen one of the best horror franchises pivot into new territory after dropping Melissa Barrera and the exits of Jenna Ortega and the now former director Christopher Landon. With the new ground, it brought back legacy stars like Neve Campbell and many more, which signaled to the Scooby-Doo actress to shoot her shot. She shared that she kept waiting on the phone to ring, but it never came: They're bringing everybody back. I kept thinking I would get a call. I didn't get a call. Again, it's been a whirlwind to hear about production and what will be waiting for the fans as they make their way to the theaters for this upcoming Scream flick. The familiar faces paired with bold claims about 7's Ghostface make it seem like the 2026 film will be a major chapter of the franchise. Yet, as the seventh title continued to mysteriously move ahead, it left many of us confused, including the Ready or Not 2 actress. She wryly marveled that some of the top-tier killed-off characters were picked up to fill out the cast, while she wasn't. Gellar finished her comment by publicly stating she's still open to jumping back into the Woodsboro world: There's a lot of people that died in all the Scream movies that are back. Skeet [Ulrich], [Matthew] Lillard, I'm just saying, I'm waiting for my call. It's true, many past stars have been tapped to rejoin Sydney Prescott's world, including Skeet Ulrich, Matthew Lillard, Scott Foley, Courteney Cox and David Arquette. With Scream challenging all the norms of the genre, wouldn't there be a small space to add the passed Cici Cooper? This is just one small pitch from an SMG and Wes Craven fan; there's still time after all. Regardless, the question remains: how exactly will the fallen be included in Scream 7 since they all seemingly died? Who knows, but we know Gellar isn't on that call sheet (though at least a few of us are holding on hope after her announcement). Until someone on production picks up the phone and calls her, we can relieve her small arc by watching the Scream movies again.
