Overview
- Anna Faris has agreed to reprise her breakout role as Cindy Campbell in the sixth installment of the Scary Movie franchise and is actively promoting the film ahead of its release.
- Faris told interviewers she had feared Hollywood was 'putting [her] out to pasture' before the Wayans brothers reached out and convinced her to return to the role.
- Marlon Wayans personally called Faris to invite her back, reportedly using the Ghostface voice from Scream to prompt an improvised reunion between the original cast and filmmakers.
- Early public response to the newly released trailer has been notably positive, with Shawn Wayans saying theater audiences reacted with unusually loud collective laughter to the footage.
- Reports that the Wayans brothers lost then later regained control of the franchise are included in press accounts but are sourced with limited confirmation, and the return is being framed as both a career reboot for Faris and a nostalgic franchise reunion.
