David Arquette recently opened up about filming "Scream" with Courteney Cox.
Arquette appeared on Wednesday's episode of "Late Night with Seth Meyers," during which he thanked "Scream" director Wes Craven because he "got a baby out of it."
"Thank god for [director] Wes Craven because I got a baby out of it," Arquette says with a laugh. "I mean, not Wes Craven, thank Courteney Cox!"
Meyers pointed out that it "must be nice" for Arquette to remember how long it has been since filming "Scream" due to his daughter being close to the same age of the film.

"Well there's a few ‘Screams’ in there," he responded. "The first ‘Scream,’ we were falling in love. The second ‘Scream’, she hated me."
Cox and Arquette met on the set of the first "Scream" movie in 1996. The two began dating and got married years later in 1999. The couple split in 2010 and finalized their divorce in 2013.
