Anna Faris Returns to Scary Movie

0:00It's April 1st, from Hollywood to your headphones. This is Entertainment and Celebrity News today, powered by AI. I'm Cory with the Story. Anna Ferris is jumping back into the scary movie franchise with a sixth installment, and she's teaming up again with the Wyons Brothers who started it all. At 49 years old, Ferris got a surprise call from Sean, who's 55 and Marlin, 53, the creators of the original 2000, and the 2001 sequels. She's thrilled to reprise her role as Cindy Campbell after sitting out the fifth film back in 2013. The Wyons Brothers got fired before scary movie 3 hit theaters in 2003, even though Ferris was locked in under contract. That left her nervous early on, with no real agent or big resume, making this her breakout gig spoofing horror flicks like Scream. She stuck around through the fourth movie in 2006, but now the reunion feels like full circle. Ferris was straight up shocked by the call. Her first chat with them since 2002.

1:02She finally got to thank them properly, something she couldn't do back then amid all the drama. For her, it flips the script from those firing fears to pure celebration. This time around, she's reuniting with Regina Hall, who played Brenda Meeks in the first four films. Scary movie 6 drops in theaters on June 5th, and Ferris calls the last 18 months, including filming, totally transformative. She's embracing the joy of playing that goofy, energetic character, bringing laughs to crowds and feeling grateful for the smiles fans give her. At this stage, that childlike fun hits different, and she's all in.
