Scary Movie 4 Goes Ahead
Actress back for another go.
March 11, 2005 - Today's Hollywood Reporter reveals that the highly-anticipated sequel... err.. umm... Scary Movie 4 is getting underway at Dimension Films. The spooky spoof, which we actually have gotten some email about, will once again star Anna Faris (Lost in Translation) who has appeared in all three films in the franchise as Cindy Campbell.
Director David Zucker is also returning and screenwriters Craig Mazin and Pat Proft, who wrote the third installment, will once again pen the script.
According to the trade's sources, Dimension honcho Bob Weinstein will take an active role in the production, even though he and his big-shot bro, Harvey, are currently caught up in mad drama with Disney on the terms of Miramax's split from the studio. It's tough being a mogul.
THR scoops that Faris will be paid in the low-to-mid seven figure range to star in Scary 4. Must be nice. She next appears in Lions Gate's Waiting, the New Line comedy Just Friends, and Ang Lee's Brokeback Mountain.
There's no word on the story for the next film in the Scary series, but it'll no doubt poke fun at recent and upcoming horror flicks like The Ring Two, the Amityville Horror remake, SAW and more.
