Anna Faris would only return to the ‘Scary Movie’ franchise if Regina Hall would too

Anna Faris gets honest about what it would take to finally bring her back to the Scary Movie franchise.

Faris’ iconic character, Cindy Campbell, has not been seen since her last appearance in 2006. Scary movie 4And since Paramount is currently rebooting the franchise with another sequel, there’s a chance she could return. But Faris isn’t holding back when it comes to revealing what it would take to reprise her role — and honestly, that’s totally understandable.

“Well, money!” Faris told PEOPLE with a laugh.

But there’s another condition Faris insists on: the return of her best friend Regina Hall, who played Brenda. Because what would Scary Movie would it be if you had one without the other?

“I would love to work with Regina again,” Faris said. “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 Regina!”

Faris and Hall first starred together in the 2000 comedy horror satire Scary Movie, and they both returned for the next three sequels: 2001’s Scary movie 22003 Scary movie 3and the one from 2006 Scary movie 4The franchise continued with Scary Movie 5 in 2013, but that is the only film in which Faris and Hall do not appear.

“I love that franchise,” Faris said. “It was like my boot camp, my beginning. If you compare my growing up experience to high school, those four movies played a major role in my life. They taught me how to use props, how to fall, how to get hit in the head — how to hold Chiclets in my mouth and then spit them out with blood when it suited the camera.”

Faris has previously admitted Entertainment weekly that she had no idea she was funny during filming; she even said she was “too scared to try.”

“There’s a moment when I’m trudging through the cafeteria and that’s the moment I thought, ‘Maybe I’m starting to get the hang of this!'” Faris previously said. “But I went home at the end of the day feeling like, ‘Oh my God. I’m not funny.'”

It wasn’t until the film came out and Faris saw how successful (and beloved) Scary Movie was—it broke a box office record for R-rated films at the time with $42 million—that changed her life.

“I owe everything to that movie,” Faris said. “After the premiere, I flew back to Washington State and saw it in a mall with my parents, and it was out of stock. I couldn’t believe it. People were going a little crazy. I had to talk to myself because I enjoyed that experience a little too much.”
