Faris Nearly Quit Scary Movie Over Pay
13 Jun
Summary
- Keenen Ivory Wayans asked Anna Faris to leave the franchise.
- Faris feared contract breach if she didn't return.
- Wayans' request was the last time they spoke.
Anna Faris recently disclosed a surprising detail from the "Scary Movie" franchise's past. In 2002, Keenen Ivory Wayans personally requested that Faris not return for "Scary Movie 3." This came after Wayans and his brothers exited the series following "Scary Movie 2."
Faris, who deeply respected Wayans, found herself in a difficult position. Despite Wayans' reassurance that she could fight the decision, Faris, then a struggling actress living in a one-bedroom apartment, felt she could not risk breaching her contract. She ultimately reprised her role as Cindy Campbell.
This pivotal conversation marked the final time Anna Faris and Keenen Ivory Wayans communicated. The revelation highlights the complex behind-the-scenes dynamics of the popular comedy-horror spoof series and Faris's significant role in its continuation.
