Parker Posey revealed that she has pitched the return of her beloved character Jennifer Jolie to the team behind the new Scream films.
The star appeared in the slasher franchise’s third instalment, which was originally intended to be the climax of the series.
Since then, three more films have been released, with Scream 6 (officially titled Scream VI) grossing over $106 million and counting in the domestic box office – making it the franchise’s top-grossing film in the US.
During press rounds for her role in Beau is Afraid, Parker shared that she would love to reprise her role from Scream 3.
“Well, I did an interview for WNYC Radio, like three weeks ago, for the play I was doing,” she told ComicBook.com. “And they said, ‘Well, there’s some people here that want to say hi.’ And it was the ‘Scream’ team.”
‘Can I just be in another dimension and come back?’
Parker then stated that she pitched them an idea of how Jennifer could appear in a future movie.
She continued: “And I actually pitched, ‘Can I just be in another dimension and come back? And continue to…’ I hope so. I would love to do that. That was really fun. I can’t believe Wes Craven let me get away with some of the silly stuff I was doing. I loved him, and that was fun.”
Although Jennifer appeared to die in Scream 3, she was technically never confirmed dead and her injuries were far less severe than the ones characters such as Tara (Jenna Ortega) and Chad (Mason Gooding) survived in Scream 5 and 6, respectively.

In the 23 years since the movie was released, Jennifer has become one of the franchise’s most beloved characters and is seen by most as a highlight of Scream 3.
It’s likely that fans would welcome her return, especially given that Gale Weathers (Courteney Cox) survived Scream 6 – meaning the two could potentially reunite.
