Summary
Anna Faris wasn’t even the first choice for Cindy Campbell in Scary Movie—Melissa Joan Hart was originally tapped, before being replaced during a costume fitting over appearance concerns. Keenen Ivory Wayans pushed for Faris after seeing her audition tape, leading to the iconic role we all know. Now, with Scary Movie 6 smashing box office records, it’s wild to think how different the franchise could’ve been—and how often Hollywood’s choices rewrite history.
