During her recent appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Regina Hall shared that her primary goal during her very first audition for Scary Movie was simply to make director Keenen Ivory Wayans laugh.
As a massive fan of his foundational comedic work on In Living Color and I’m Gonna Git You Sucka, she focused entirely on winning his comedic approval rather than stressing over whether she would land the role of Brenda Meeks. Regina Hall talks about going to an Oscars afterparty after One Battle After Another won an Oscar, reuniting with the Wayans Brothers and original cast of Scary Movie and auditioning in front of Keenan Wayans for the first film.
This reflection comes at a momentous time for the franchise. The original core creative team—including Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, Anna Faris, and Regina Hall—have officially reunited. The group recently completed filming for the highly anticipated Scary Movie 6, marking the first time the original cast and the Wayans brothers have worked together on the horror parody franchise in 25 years.
