Neve Campbell's a 'pussycat' when it comes to scary moviesNeve Campbell hasn’t had to contend with "Scream's" knife-wielding masked killer in a decade, but the 37-year-old actress says that from the first day of working on “Scream 4," it was just like old times. “It was fun. It’s not just a similar cast, but a good deal of our crew from the last 15 years, so the first days definitely felt like a reunion,” Campbell said in an interview, adding that not everything stayed the same: “Everyone’s a little bit rounder and a little bit older,” she laughed. But keeping the heart of the cast together was crucial for Campbell as she stepped into the role of Sidney Prescott for a fourth time.
“It was very important to me that [director] Wes Craven and Courteney [Cox] and David [Arquette] came back,” Campbell said. “We hadn’t kept in touch a huge amount because I live in London, so it’s a challenge for me to stay in touch. But on this [‘Scream’ installment], I really ended up bonding with Courteney in ways that we hadn’t in the past.” Of course, “Scream” vet Kevin Williamson, who brought us the original story of the sadistic slasher in 1996, was back on board as well. Campbell recalled how impressed she was when she read that first “Scream” script. “It’s very rare that you pick up a script and you don’t put it down and come back with a cup of coffee, and this one was a real page-turner - I read it from start to finish,” Campbell said. She was 21 at the time and fresh off “The Craft," and "it was the first lead in a film that I’d even come close to. It wasn’t a terribly conscious choice, but it happened to be really great,” she said. Nonetheless, she never thought that her character would still be battling Ghostface in a fourth film. “I remember the cast during the first film up in Santa Rosa joking about the fact that next Halloween, if it does well, there might be a ‘Scream’ costume, and wouldn’t that be funny,” she said. “We never imagined it would happen – to us it was just this tiny little independent that happened to have Drew Barrymore and Courteney Cox, but the rest of us were all newcomers.” Now, 15 years later, Campbell is quite aware of “Scream’s” fanbase. “There’s definitely a pressure after 10 years, because there’s such a buzz. There’s a pressure in making a good film, definitely, and not disappointing people, and I think we all felt that collectively,” she acknowledged. But, she added, this “Scream” finds a way to retain what everyone loves about the franchise while still firmly planting the story in the way we live now, another major reason why she signed on for a fourth installment. “I wanted to know that we could bring something new and fun to these films, and keep what people loved about them,” she said. “For me, it was definitely about Kevin Williamson being more aware of what was going on with [today's] generation, and that’s definitely what he brought to this film.” It’s "wonderful," she goes on, “because I think there’s a lot to be said about the changes that people experience now with social networking and media and the Internet and all of that. Things have definitely shifted. The way kids look at fame and fortune, there’s been a shift, and the film takes a look at that.” She’s played Sidney Prescott for so long that returning to the character doesn't faze her, but the idea of watching scary movies? Well, that does strike a little fear in her heart. “I’m not good at watching [horror movies],” Campbell laughed. “I’m not a big one for sitting down and scaring myself for two hours.They can be great fun and a roller-coaster ride, but I have to be with a good amount of friends. I’m a bit of a pussycat when it comes to that stuff.” Catch Neve Campbell's Sidney Prescott return to Woodsboro today when “Scream 4” opens in theaters nationwide.

Wowow everybody you commented on this previous 2 me, IQ probably combines of 30. If your going 2 write a comment WRITE IT ABOUT THE MOVIE INSTEAD OF UR PERSONAL ISSUES. NOBODY WANTS TO HERE THAT. if Ur going to write a comment either praising or insulting ATLEAST U ENGLISH AND NOT SOME RETARD TALK. the movie was a great come back after a decade of being absent. Great twist at the end and making it seem like the boyfriend was the killer again. Kudos.:-)
Learn to write in English before criticizing use of it.
I love Neve Campbell, I think she's beautiful and she has everything it takes to be a leadng lady in a film. I don't know why she lives in London but what I really want to know is how come she hasn't made more films?? I liked Scream 4 but I think she needed to kick some more ghostface butt. She's awesome though.
Agree
I have always had a special place in my heart for Neve...she is just sooo freaking H-O-T!!!!!
I wish I could get a chik but I am a fat goofy looking clown. That is why I turned gay. Ho-mo central! Butt pirate!! Cornholio wrangler!! Party down with monster schlongs in da pooper::

CNN sucks its my first article I read here and I'm going back to access hollywood I wouldn't want my children reading this
Really-CNN allowed these comments to be posted-I've reported them once to CNN and they have yet to be removed! I don't want my children to read these trashy comments!
I be trollin da web for young nubile men! I iz ready to party down and get bizzy with these pillow biters!! I be one big ol fruit...and do I mean big. My monster bell dwarfs my miniature peter.
I wish I had a set of family jewels so I could put my hands down my pants and play with my package!
What's up with the pro tea party comments here, go fishfry at Sarah Palin rally. This blog is about a movie. Well I didn't like the first three Screams so I'm not really thrilled with another sequel. Hopefully Scary Movie 5 brings back all the cast from the first flim to parody this crap. Officer Doofy needs to vacuum his room.
Yo yo yo. I like to rap and dats no lie!! I gave up all dat tasty pie! Now I just go for dudes and I aint want any prudes. When I jam it in da rear, my buddy says I shed a tear. I be sad cuz he iz cheatin, no I know he's a cretin! I iz gonna hit him with a stick and then we make up and I suk his d1@k! Gayboyz rule!! We iz fairies for life!!
Of the 50+ comments here, only @10 are even about the posted story. Go away people.
Note–jose...you posted @3:15 4/15 that it sucked. I thought it wasn't even showing until 12mid. Hmmm...
Stopped watching after scream 2
One dood has a lot of time on his hands. Guess he needs to do something in between furiously jacking it.
I am zee Don of slumber. I maxeemize me sleep by chugging massive amounts of booze and puffing da nugs! Dis helps me pass out and I iz in deep catatonic state for hours. Sometimes my roomie slips into the bed and pounds my pooper real good!! I can sleep through anything, including an ol fashion fudge packin!! See ya real soon.
Haven't seen this movie, but I can already tell you its class A crap. Wes Craven has fallen far from awesome, has no one learned that more than two sequels is usually a terrible idea? Because the plots get ridiculous. Only exceptions for any horror movie series has been some of the Halloween movies, 5 and 6 were really good, and maybe Hellraiser. Nightmare got terrible, Hellraiser and of course Jason. Wes has resulted to doing remakes of things that were good to begin with, like "The Hills have Eyes" and "Last House on the Left", which is a better idea, but still a sell out.
sorry, I mentioned Hellraiser in conflicting views, what I meant to say is one later sequel out of the 8 sequels they've done has been good, the rest are absolutely awful.
I wanna see remake of Wildthings! With Richards
Seriously CNN, you let real GARBAGE past your so called moderators and most of my best comments you have junked. You really are the bottom in some aspects. Is it political. You can't find good help or fail to screen them properly. Nobody's perfect but any high school newspaper could do better!
Too much gay testosterone in here.I was hoping we could talk about Neve Campbell, but I guess she turned you guys into keilbasa smugglers. Well, Neve, I still love ya'.
my stars. people are mean. we are all friends here just having fun. please dont be mean to each other. You are ALL our heros. Funny and cool !

YOU ARE ALL STUPID !
The movie sucked, don't see it
How did it suck???? Really though, how? I loved it. It was slightly different from the other Scream movies, just the way Wes Craven wanted it. It really surprised and shocked me the most at the end on who the killer is in Scream 4, compared to the other Scream movies. It was quite funny at the end too.
I loved it also. I'd say part 4 was the 2nd best of the franchise, with the original taking the lead, of course.
At least 2 people work, here on this sight! Incredible comments here.
I liked the first Scream, but I don't really trust this film anymore than I did the other 2 sequels.
