Anna Faris reveals in a new interview with Dexerto that her explicit accusations against Melania Trump were cut from Scary Movie, the sixth installment of the long-running parody series, which recently topped the box office with a $54 million debut. The actor said that Cindy was “constantly pushing to be a classic MAGA rabbit hole” in the film, adding that she was “the kind of person you would see outside of Walmart during quarantine, causing some kind of crazy hijinks.”
“There was a moment where I was drained, like I was drunk…I got in my truck and looked in the rearview mirror and said, ‘Be the best, Cindy Campbell. Be the best,'” Faris said of one moment during filming that overshadowed Melania Trump and her “Be the Best” campaign. “It didn’t pan out, but I liked the little wink there.”
“Hey, what are you going to do? Are you going to be mad at Cindy?” Faris added. “I’m in and starring in the most aggressive movie ever made, and I’m a part of an aggressive idea. I think I can do anything. That’s what liberated me.”
Faris was absent from the fifth Scary Movie, but returned in the new film opposite original cast members Marlon Wayans, Regina Hall, and Sean Wayans. The Wayans family created the “Scary Movies” series, but following the success of “Scary Movies 2,” they were dropped by Harvey and Bob Weinstein, who wanted a better deal for a third movie. they were rejected.
“What they did was between them and God,” Marlon Wayans recently told Variety. “I don’t applaud such behavior, but if we want to evolve, we can’t continue to hold hatred and hurt in our hearts.”
“Scary Movie” is now showing in theaters nationwide.
