Anna Faris' Spoof Hunt

6 months ago 11th May 13:30

Anna Faris thinks the next 'Scary Movie' has been delayed because there is nothing for it to spoof.

'Scary Movie 5', the latest instalment of the comic-horror franchise - which pokes fun at other horror films - was announced in 2007 but work has not yet started, which its star says is because of a lack of other movies in the genre.

She was like 'We're going to do it as senior citizens - we're going to be so old by the time they finally do it

Anna told Moviehole: ''I'm not sure that there's enough kinda iconic scary movies around.

''When we did the first Scary Movie there was like Scream and I Know What You Did Last Summer, and all those films were so popular. There were moments in those films that were visually distinctive - I just don't know if that has happened in the past few years; if we've got enough films like that to go off on."

The future of the franchise is so uncertain that Anna says she is even getting calls from her former co-stars wanting to know what is going to happen.

She added: "I was talking to my dear friend, Regina Hall, who was also in all the 'Scary Movies', and she was wondering why it's taking so long for the fifth film to happen too. She was like 'Do you think we'll be making Scary Movie 5?'. I was like 'I don't know Regina'. She was like 'We're going to do it as senior citizens - we're going to be so old by the time they finally do it.' "
