Saturday, 23rd January 2021 at 9:00 am It’s the first Monday of the New Year, and David Arquette is in buoyant mood. “I’m excited about this year,” he tells me from his home in Los Angeles. “It’s the year of the ox, which is a very strong and stable animal. Last year was the year of the rat… I mean I’m just saying!” Advertisement At this point, the actor bursts into giggles, a moment which typifies his cheerful approach throughout our discussion – Arquette might be turning 50 this year, but he retains an infectious, boyish enthusiasm when speaking of his various projects, whether that be his long-standing association with the Scream franchise or his recent return to the world of pro wrestling. His latest project is on a rather smaller scale: a new indie movie titled 12 Hour Shift, on which he serves as both a producer and star.
