As exes and co-parents of 17-year-old daughter Coco, Courteney Cox and David Arquette had a great time working together again on Scream 5, a sequel to 1996’s Scream which will premiere Jan. 14. In an interview with Extra on Sunday, Arquette said of Cox, “It’s always wonderful working opposite each other. We have a daughter we co-parent together. I have a wonderful wife with two kids as well…It’s been a long time, and it’s just an interesting thing to see Gail and Dewey sort of on-screen again.”
One person who hasn’t seen the original film is their daughter, Coco! Arquette said, “She hasn’t seen the film,” and Cox clarified, “She’s seen part of Scream 1… She doesn’t like to watch anything we do…I’m gonna make her watch this with her eyes open…I didn’t watch most of this film — I hear it’s really good.”

Despite Coco’s reluctance to watch her parents’ films, she does post with her mom on Instagram occasionally. Cox said, “She is tortured by me saying, ‘Can we do something for Instagram…?’ I have to negotiate. I use her for Instagram and she knows it and she really rebels.”
This isn’t the first time Cox has opened up about parenting her daughter. When Coco was 13, Cox told People, “I want her to tell me everything, and she doesn’t want to tell me anything. Exactly the opposite of the childhood I had.” Although she added they do love each other. “We bicker, let’s be honest, but we love each other,” said Cox. “We laugh a lot, for sure.” Coco said in the interview, “I would also describe it as, well, I am a 13-year-old girl, you are a mom, so I love you, but of course we’re gonna get in fights. But we’re very close. Very close. I love you a lot.”
