Neve Campbell had theaters screaming with excitement during her recent appearance on The Late Late Show with James Corden. The talk show host kicked off the conversation by expressing his joy at having both Neve Campbell and her co-star, Courteney Cox, on the show.
He then brought up the success of the latest installment in the Scream franchise, stating that Scream is currently the number one movie in the world. Corden even mentioned a brilliant line from The Weeknd‘s new album, where he references Campbell and her iconic role in Scream. Campbell seemed thrilled by the mention and praised The Weeknd‘s talent.
The conversation then took a hilarious turn as Corden asked Campbell about a wild incident that apparently occurred at her wedding. It turns out that one of her co-stars from Workaholics, Blake Anderson, drank from Campbell’s wife’s shoe. Campbell shared that this was actually a ‘shoey’ – a custom in Australia where people pour beer into a shoe and chug it. She explained that this happened during a stand-up show in Australia, and she was encouraged by none other than Dave Grohl himself, who was in the audience. Corden and Campbell had a good laugh discussing the revolting nature of the shoey.
Corden then shifted the focus to British weddings, asking Campbell about her experiences attending them. She humorously described a countryside British wedding where everyone got incredibly messy, even sleeping in muddy tents. British weddings, she explained, have a reputation for people committing to getting drunk and having a great time.
Finally, the conversation turned back to the Scream franchise. When asked about her initial reaction to the announcement of a fifth film, Campbell admitted to feeling apprehensive due to the loss of director Wes Craven. However, she received a letter from the new directors, Tyler and Matt, expressing their commitment to honoring Wes Craven‘s legacy. After reading the script and feeling confident in the directors’ vision, Campbell signed on for the project.
Campbell ended the interview expressing her excitement about the latest Scream movie and how proud her partner, JJ, is of her role. Corden even played a video sent by JJ, showing the audience’s enthusiastic reaction to Campbell’s character appearing on the big screen.
As the interview wrapped up, Corden and Campbell reminisced about the impact the Scream franchise had when it first premiered 25 years ago. They joked about how they never expected the iconic Ghostface mask to become a Halloween staple.
With Scream currently dominating the box office, the conversation on The Late Late Show with James Corden showcased Neve Campbell‘s charm and the continued fascination with the beloved horror franchise. Fans of both the “chat show” and Scream can look forward to more thrilling discussions and surprises in the future.
