I didn’t even have an agent.”

For Faris, the reunion has meaning beyond the movie. The return meant giving proper thanks to Marlon, Shawn and Keenen Wayans, who wrote and created the original films, for taking a chance on them all those years ago.“It’s a little healing that we were together again. This is a personal celebration for me, because I have to thank them. I never thanked them properly,” he said, “I felt like the Wayans brothers were throwing me out. This time, I have to thank them and I felt like I wasn’t going to be fired.”He described the reunion as “a celebration of the Wayans brothers” and said the warmth of being back together put everything else on the backburner. “For me to all come back together, it felt like such a victory. It didn’t matter what happened, how the film was received. In this moment, it felt so good for me personally. It’s like the cherry on top that the audience is excited to see. It’s a special time in my life.” I feel very grateful,” he said.‘Scary Movie 6’, which also stars Sheridan, Hall and Jon Abrahams, hits theaters on June 5.
