Anna Faris‘ iconic function as Cindy within the horror parody function movie collection Scary Film nearly went to a different actress, revealed author, producer and star Marlon Wayans.
In a latest interview with Leisure Tonight, Faris requested Marlon Wayans and Shawn Wayans if there was “ever a star that desperately wished to be in a Scary Film, however you needed to hit them with a tough no?”
“Melissa Joan Hart. She was imagined to play Anna’s half,” Marlon Wayans mentioned, as each Faris and his brother reacted in disbelief.
The Him star defined it was the duo’s older brother, Keenen Ivory Wayans, the director of the inaugural entry in 2000 and one of many co-architects of the franchise, who pushed for Faris to get the function after seeing her audition.
“Keenan was like, ‘I noticed this younger girl Anna Faris, and it actually looks like that’s our Cindy,’” Marlon Wayans recalled.
He continued, “So that you took Melissa Joan Hart’s job! Good job, Anna. Option to go. Taking meals out of one other white girl’s mouth,” joking that the casting reversal exemplified “white on white crime.”
This weekend, the field workplace take for Scary Film 6 totaled $56 million, the very best ever opening within the franchise’s 26-year historical past. The Paramount-Miramax flick is the newest followup since 2013’s Scary Film 5, spoofing latest horror fare like Sinners, The Substance and Jordan Peele’s Nope and Get Out.
Alongside Faris and the Wayans, Regina Corridor, Lochlyn Monroe, Dave Sheridan and Jon Abrahams all returned to star within the movie.
