Neve Campbell Reflects on Her Time in the Scream Franchise

In promotion of her upcoming stint on “House of Cards,” Scream franchise star Neve Campbell recently sat down with The Guardian for an interview. During it she reflected upon her time in one of the horror genre’s biggest franchises.
“I’m so glad those days are over,” she says. “I felt I was being forced into being something I wasn’t – all the time.” The comedy slasher franchise dominated her career until the last money-spinning fourth installment in 2011. Still, the 42-year-old realises that those roles paid for her current lifestyle, for her home in Brooklyn with her British-American actor partner JJ Feild and their three-year-old son, Caspian. “I’ve been very sensible with the money I made,” she says, “and I did make good money.”
Now some may say her comments are disrespectful of the films, but at the end of the day at least she recognizes that they helped to put her on the map. What are your thoughts?
Wes Craven’s Scream spawned several sequels (all starring Campbell), and even a series on MTV that is loved by some and hated by others.
