Variety: Social media exploded when it was announced you’d be returning as Brenda in “Scary Movie 6.” What made you say yes?
Regina Hall: I read the script — and it was really funny. I knew what they were intending to do. I always think a work of art is in flux until it’s done and in someone’s hands — you just never know. But the original cast coming back was exciting. Having the Wayans involved again, and Anna Faris too — Brenda can’t live without Cindy. And she’s no better a friend to Cindy this time than she was before, even though they’re still best friends.
I think the nostalgia and timing just made it feel right. It was a good time to do something so broad and fun. I read the script and thought, “This is funny.” And I think something is refreshing about doing something a little bit irreverent right now.
She says she’s currently filming Scary Movie 6 and that filming started October 1st.

It’d be hard,” she admits. “It’s an exciting thing. I remember the first time I got nominated for a Gotham and then a Spirit — I’ve lost all three times. It was fun to get nominated, and you really do feel like it’s an honor… until you lose. Then you’re like, damn, I actually did want to win.”
