Regina Hall and Anna Faris Are Returning for SCARY MOVIE Franchise Reboot Film
Original Scary Movie franchise actresses Regina Hall and Anna Faris are returning for the reboot that’s headed our way. The pair will reprise their roles as Brenda and Cindy, respectively, for the Wayans Brothers’ restart of the early millennium comedy franchise.
Said Hall and Faris, “We can’t wait to bring Brenda and Cindy back to life and be reunited with our great friends Keenen, Shawn and Marlon — three men we’d literally die for (in Brenda’s case, again).”
The new Scary Movie is a big reunion, bringing the Wayans brothers back together for the first time in 18 years to write an all-new original script for the series, co-penning the Miramax production with Rick Alvarez. Scary Movie is prepping for an October shoot in time for a June 12, 2026 global theatrical release via Paramount.
The near $900 million-grossing Scary Movie film franchise was developed by Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans and Keenen Ivory Wayans. The last wrote and directed the first two films, and will return to produce the upcoming chapter. Marlon and Shawn wrote and starred in the first two films.
This will be the sixth film in the franchise, with Michael Tiddes set to direct. Tiddes is a longtime Wayans collaborator, starting as an assistant on White Chicks. He directed a trio of Wayans films – the satirical horror comedy A Haunted House and the Netflix hit movies Naked and Sextuplets.
There have been so many new horror movies since the release of the last Scary Movie films, there is plenty of new material for them to play with. This will be a fun return for another generation of audiences to enjoy.
