In exciting news for fans of the comedy-horror genre, Regina Hall and Anna Faris are set to reprise their iconic roles as Brenda and Cindy, respectively, in the upcoming reboot of the beloved Scary Movie franchise. The film is being developed by the Wayans Brothers in collaboration with Miramax and Paramount.
Hall and Faris expressed their enthusiasm about returning to their characters after years apart, stating, “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).”
This new installment marks a significant reunion for the Wayans brothers, who haven’t collaborated on the series in nearly 18 years. They will be co-writing an all-new original script along with Rick Alvarez. The film is scheduled to begin shooting in October, aiming for a June 12, 2026 global theatrical release.
The timing of this reboot comes as the horror genre has experienced a surge in popularity, making it a prime moment for a comedic take on the genre. The Scary Movie franchise has been a significant box office success, grossing nearly $900 million across its previous five films, with the first installment released in 2000 setting records for R-rated horror films.
Michael Tiddes will direct the upcoming film, bringing his experience as a longtime collaborator with the Wayans family, having directed films like A Haunted House and Naked.
Regina Hall continues to stay busy in the industry, with upcoming roles in Paul Thomas Anderson’s film One Battle After Another, alongside Leonardo DiCaprio and Sean Penn, as well as in Nick Stoller’s Judgment Day with Will Ferrell and Zac Efron. Meanwhile, Anna Faris, known for her roles in films like The House Bunny and Brokeback Mountain, is also set to star in Spa Weekend.
As excitement builds for the return of these beloved characters, fans eagerly anticipate what the new Scary Movie will bring to the franchise.
