there are 3 options: she is jinx, she has a bad bad bad luck or she has a very bad taste choosing cheap movies...

WOW!! Jesus, I haven't even heard the half of them. This is frightening!

Ok, the projects before 2011. I get it, maybe it's for good that they are dead, because Neve make great movies in that years. Then, Scream 4 in 2011, I really hoped that she will be famous again, but.. Well, she got pregnant. That's so sweet, really, I'm very happy for her.
But... Now, 2013, just "Walter"??? I mean, come on, she shot her scenes for 2-3 weeks only. She had time to make another 2-3 movies this year with the same time of shooting.
Аnd, I really wanted to see her in a sci-fi movie. I get it, she was pregnant for Singularity and she was replaced, OK. But... Division 19?? What happened?? If you type in Google about Division 19, all the results will be about how "Neve Campbell is shooting in Detroit"... And, Im very pissed about that movie. REALLY! That should have been one of her best movies ever!

So... Don't know, mate. If you go and see Lacey Chabert or Jennifer Love Hewitt they are all in better condition than her. Even Emma Roberts made more things after Scream 4.

Jean-Claude Van Damme & Neve Campbell FOREVER!!!

I feel the same, after Scream 4 I expected that she return to comercial films, but what we have? that bad bad baaaad Titanic series, a cheap lifetime tv movie and 1 episode of Grey's Anatomy, I think she needs help to choose her movies, or maybe after so many years nobody remembers her and has to accept anything...

I think it's only her fault, she has wasted his best years rejecting big movies like Elektra on Daredevil or the classic "Requiem for a dream" and now nobody wants her...

and I don't know what happens with Division 19, i send an email to the producer company and they just answer me saying "neve is to be replaced"

Walter sounds really good, but... Neve is only working 2 weeks per year? c'mon...

[–] mirko_bg1 11 years ago

She was just considered for the role of Elektra... Nobody offered her anything. Same with SpiderMan for the role of Mary Jane.

And those movies... Wow! Adina, Lulu and The Legacy, I google them, they sound epic. And she would have been the main lead.

Yeah, I get it - An Amish Murder, she was pregnant during filming. Grey's was OK.
But now? I don't get it. Just 1 movie a year? 1 movie with 2-3 weeks filming... That's not right.
And... I'm very mad about Division 19, and ... no comment! Very dissapointed.

And... I'm afraid that Jean-Claude Van Damme (my other favourite star) is doing something wrong too. He shot 3 days for a movie "Swelter" and that's it for 2013.

2013 is a bad year for my 2 favourite stars...

Yes, most of these dead project sounds really amazing, The Mermaids singing especially co-star Jessica Lange and Evan Rachel Wood, i don't expect any more shooting for her this year.. LOL

Don't forget that she wanted to branch out more with her roles and movies, she never wants to repeat anything she does. I'm sure she'll find herself in something notable again at some point. She had her day in the spotlight during her Scream/Party Of Five years, but she's still pretty recognizable among the general public.

The mermaids singing had a teaser poster http://www.ioncinema.com/old/images/upload/movie_3219_poster.jpg I was really excited about it :/ I think Neve is a very talented actress and deserves to be in great projects :)

I love Neve Campbell

[–] yorozuya_tsundelea 11 years ago

Maybe, she chooses to raise her child.
It will take time but I do believe she has a great comeback soon.

I did not find Titanic Blood and Steel bad. I just disliked the ending

Now you can ad "Bereave" to the list.
