According to Entertainment Weekly, original writer Kevin Williamson has approached the pair to star in a Scream reboot, scheduled to film this autumn. Williamson is hoping that the horror movie will revitalise the franchise, leading to a new trilogy.
Several characters from the original Scream films are expected to return, though it is unclear if Neve Campbell's Sidney Prescott will be back.
Former Friends star Cox Arquette portrayed reporter Gale Weathers in Wes Craven's self-referential horror movies, while her husband Arquette played police officer Dwight 'Dewey' Riley.
Cox Arquette's TV schedule may prove a stumbling block, however, as her ABC pilot Cougar Town has been picked up for series.
Rumours first emerged about a new Scream at the start of the year, with director Craven later hinting that he may return to helm a fourth instalment.
