Scary Movie fans are so happy that Regina Hall and Anna Faris returned for another round, but did fans ever think that they were even happier to come back? Faris felt like she was getting iced out by Hollywood and was heartbroken over the loss of her home in the Palisades Fires. But when she got a call from the Wayans Brothers for Scary Movie 6, she felt a sense of relief. “I had been coming around to the idea of Hollywood sort of putting me out to pasture. And that was okay,” she explained to Entertainment Weekly. “With the house burning down, there was a lot of taking stock. So to have this opportunity to thank them — I got to thank them every day. They were probably really annoyed with me.”

Probably one of the most meaningful moments for Faris, in a movie that will parody COVID and January 6, was reunited with Hall. “As we were shooting, I started to think about Cindy’s deep love of Brenda and her friendship with Brenda. Cindy may now be a horrible mom, but she’d do anything for Brenda,” Faris shared. “I think they kept it in — I ad-libbed this line — ‘I would do anything for you, Brenda.’ And I mean it about Regina, too.”
