Neve Campbell has recalled a terrifying bear attack that occurred on the set of a movie she filmed at just 17 years old, where the animal dragged her away by the leg. 'The whole crew is frozen because nobody can believe what's happening.'
Scream star Neve Campbell recently recalled a horrifying instance in which she survived a bear attack while on the set of a film early in her career. The actor rose to mainstream prominence for her role as Sidney Prescott in Wes Craven’s 1996 slasher classic. Scream would go on to become a critical and commercial success, gaining an immense following and initiating a franchise that spans over two decades, and now includes five films.
Campbell’s career in film goes all the way back to 1992, when the actor earned her first starring role in the Canadian series, Catwalk, following a run of previously minor appearances in other various projects. She broke through to larger audiences in the Fox drama, Party of Five, in which she played the role of Julia Salinger through six seasons and starred alongside Matthew Fox and Jennifer Love Hewitt.
"I dipped my hand in honey and I run to this rock and I turn around and I put my hand out and the bear is not slowing down and he's not coming for my hand. He grabs me by the leg and he pulls me through the forest. And my mother happens to be visiting set, and she's screaming. The whole crew is frozen because nobody can believe what's happening. All I can think to say is, 'He's biting me!' like it wasn't obvious.
Thankfully, Campbell wasn't seriously harmed in the incident. If anything, it seems the attack added to the inner strength that would inform her many future roles. In addition to starring in the upcoming Scream sequel, Campbell has been cast in The Lincoln Lawyer. Based on the 2005 novel of the same name and its sequels, the legal drama series will stream on Netflix and follow a defense attorney in Los Angeles who runs his practice out of a chauffeur-driven Lincoln Town Car.
Campbell's story is certainly very disturbing, and speaks to a different approach to on-set safety in the movie industry just a few years ago. Since the terrifying ordeal, however, Campbell has had an impressive acting career across multiple different genres. Given her talent, it's no wonder that she has attracted such a loyal and extensive fanbase over the years.
