Regina Hall and Anna Faris in Scary Movie 4
With Scary Movie 4 receiving early positives from online fan sites and even Entertainment Weekly, I have to admit that I am slightly anxious to catch this film in theatres. According to the initial reports, Scary Movie 4 is the best in the franchise and fits in one parody after another.
However, who would know better than Scary Movie actress Regina Hall?

Having starred in all four films in the Scary Movie franchise, Regina Hall is considered the parody pro on set. The good people over at Blackfilm were able to catch up with Hall and get her to divulge details from the production, what makes the fourth film different, and how the cast has picked up their game since the last go.
How does it feel to come back and play Brenda for the 4th time?
RH: It’s good. It’s fun. The great thing about this movie is that it is what it is. It’s light. I loved working with Anna (Faris) and I get to work with a crew who I know. It’s great and I get to work with David Zucker again.
Do you think people still get a kick out of the spoof films, especially when you’re now into the 4th one of this franchise?
RH: I do. The biggest thing is that we always want to keep it fresh and entertaining so that when people watch it, they still get a laugh. I think they do a good job of spacing and reinventing them so that it’s not like, “Oh, here we go again” and there is something that is fresh about it. That’s what’s great about adding cast members to the film.

Does coming back into this role help your career since this is basically yours and Anna’s film as opposed to playing another supporting role in a big ensemble film?
RH: Yes, it’s great. As a black woman, it is so wonderful to be a part of this. There are so few of us that are a part of franchises. To be a part of a franchise that millions of people see and has a built-in audience, but that you were a part of from the beginning. It’s great because it’s not that common.

Scary Movie 4 comes to theatres on April 14th, 2006.
