Paramount announced a reboot of the famousScary Moviefranchise and Anna Faris may become a part of it if her two conditions are fulfilled. One, of course, is good money and the second is the participation of her co-star Regina Hall. Faris and Hall portrayed Cindy Campbell and Brenda Meeks in the first four films in the franchise.
Faris revealed in a recent interview that she loved working with Hall and would love to reprise the role if Brenda Meeks would also return. Fans are rooting for the pair as well since it was these two recurring actresses who played a huge part in these films becoming a near-$900 million success.
Anna Faris Would Return toScary MovieReboot Only If Regina Hall Returns too
Anna Farisis currently promoting her new Prime Video film,My Spy, The Eternal City. During an interview with PEOPLE, she was asked whether she would return to theScary Moviefranchise and under what conditions. The question has significant relevance as Paramount has announced a reboot project in the works in April.

Faris immediately replied that money would be a huge factor in her decision. However, there was another crucial factor that would make her want to reprise her character badly. She revealed that she would love to work withRegina Hallagain. She shared that both of them would make each other laugh on set all day long. Faris shared withPEOPLE:
I would love to work with Regina again. I just love her so much. We would make each other giggle all day long. Regina Hall would be my answer. And money. But mostly all Regina!
Fans also love this to happen as they positively responded to theHouse Bunnyactress’s conditions. When the news was shared on X, one fan commented that they would watch the film solely for this combo of Cindy Campbell and Brenda Meeks. Another fan shared that they badly needed the duo to appear in the new reboot.
One fan further went ahead and stated that they needed a reboot from Paramount only if Faris and Hall agreed to appear in them. Another fan called the two actresses“Queens”who made the films into a great success. Some of the fan reactions read:
I’d watch for this combo and this combo only

RESPECTFULLY!!Two queens! They MADE those movies!

Interestingly, it is not just Faris who has expressed her willingness to appear in the newScary Moviereboot. Hall also earlier shared that she would love to revisit these characters. In an interview withET, Hall shared,“I would love to see where they are now. I don’t think it’s any place amazing, but I think it’d be fun to see.”There is a good chance that Paramount’s film will feature these actresses.

Anna Faris and Regina Hall appeared in all the films except the fifth one, where Ashley Tisdale and Simon Rex played the lead roles.
