Paramount Pictures is resurrecting the once-popular Scary Movie spoof franchise with a brand new reboot movie that’s expected to slash into theaters in 2025, but can we expect any stars of the original franchise to reprise their roles? Chatting with People this week, Scary Movie mainstay Anna Faris comments on what it would take to bring her back to the franchise.
Anna Faris starred alongside Regina Hall in the first four Scary Movie installments, with Faris playing Cindy Campbell and Hall playing her character’s best friend, Brenda Meeks. And it sounds like Faris doesn’t plan on returning unless Regina Hall is also asked to return.
“I would love to work with Regina [Hall] again. I just love her so much,” Faris answered when the outlet asked her what it would take to get her to sign on. “We would make each other giggle all day long. Regina Hall would be my answer. And money. But mostly all Regina!“
“I love that franchise. It was like my bootcamp, my beginnings,” Faris continues.
Stay tuned for more on Paramount’s upcoming Scary Movie reboot.
Directed by Keenen Ivory Wayans, the first Scary Movie was released in 2000, just four years after Wes Craven reinvigorated the horror genre with his meta slasher masterpiece, Scream.
The film parodied horror movies of the time including Scream, I Know What You Did Last Summer, and The Blair Witch Project, and the horror-comedy spoof scared up $278 million at the worldwide box office. The success of that first Scary Movie paved the way for an entire franchise of horror spoofs, five of them in total released between 2000 and 2013.
