Anna Faris Signals Early Interest in a 'The House Bunny' Sequel

Her remarks reflect rising nostalgia for early-2000s comedies and do not indicate any studio greenlight or production plan.

Overview

  • Faris told Entertainment Tonight on Friday that "there's interest" in a House Bunny follow-up and that she would like to discuss it, but she warned it is too soon to say anything definitive.
  • The original 2008 film was a Happy Madison comedy directed by Fred Wolf that starred Faris as a former Playboy Bunny turned sorority house mother and featured a large ensemble including Emma Stone and Kat Dennings.
  • Reporters note the original movie included cameos from Hugh Hefner and others and was partly filmed at the Playboy Mansion, details that any sequel would likely revisit or reckon with.
  • Faris is simultaneously returning to another early-career role by reprising Cindy Campbell in Scary Movie 6, a move reporters tie to a broader wave of nostalgia driving interest in revivals.
  • What to watch next: studios, producers or Happy Madison would need to announce a formal greenlight, a script and cast commitments before a sequel moves from informal interest to production and release.
