‘It Was Really Lovely’: Anna Faris Reveals Neve Campbell And Jennifer Love Hewitt’s Reaction To Scary Movie Spoof

As a lifestyle expert, I have always believed that the entertainment industry is filled with unique stories of camaraderie and mutual respect among artists. And Anna Faris’ experience with Neve Campbell and Jennifer Love Hewitt in the Scary movie franchise is a perfect example of this.


Anna Faris has portrayed the humorous character of Cindy Campbell in the Scary Movie series since its debut in 2000. By poking fun at Neve Campbell’s role as Sidney Prescott from Scream and Jennifer Love Hewitt’s character Julie James from I Know What You Did Last Summer, Anna added her unique touch to these iconic roles. The audience response, filled with jokes and imitation recognition, sparked much excitement. However, contrary to popular belief, Neve and Jennifer reportedly took it in stride and appreciated Anna’s homage to their earlier work.

In a recent conversation, Anna shared insights about Neve and Jennifer Love’s response to how her character was depicted in the Scary Movies. Contrary to any rumors of animosity, she revealed that they both enjoyed it immensely.

Neve Campbell and Jennifer Love Hewitt’s reaction to Anna Faris’ character

In an interview with PEOPLE, Anna Faris shared her experiences during auditions for “My Spy The Eternal City,” where she met Neve Campbell. Recalling their past encounters, she admitted, “I’d only met Neve at auditions later on. I felt a bit awkward and apologetic towards her, but she was incredibly gracious.”

In contrast, when I received that initial flower, Jennifer Love Hewitt surprised me with an extravagant bouquet. I found it amusing and the gesture was truly delightful.

Neve Campbell keeps acting in Scream films as Sidney Prescott, whereas Hewitt will be back to portray Julie in the next I Know What You Did Last Summer production.

Anna Faris on playing Cindy Campbell

In an interview about her character Cindy Campbell in Scary Movie, the actress explained that she aimed to portray the role in a way that would appear “dumb enough” to avoid offending anyone unintentionally. She also mentioned that she is skilled at poking fun at herself and has yet to encounter anyone who took offense to her humor.

Anna has appeared in four films within the Scary series, but she was absent from the fifth movie released in 2013. Recently, Paramount announced plans for a new Scary film in April. It remains uncertain if Anna will make an appearance in this reboot.

During an interview, Anna was queried about potential future appearances in the Scary Movie series and their iconic dynamic. Her response was filled with warmth: “I adore working with Regina. We’d laugh non-stop together! Regina Hall is my top pick, followed closely by compensation. Yet, it’s my cherished time with Regina that truly matters.”

Anna’s acting career took off magnificently following her role in the inaugural Scary Movie by Keenen Ivory Wayans. In an interview about it, Anna revealed that the experience was akin to military training for her. She picked up numerous skills during filming, such as handling props, taking fake hits, and even spitting out Chiclets and creating blood effects on command.
