Anna Faris was scared before filming s-x scene

Anna Faris and director Keenan Ivory Wayans have recently opened up about Faris’ iconic sx scene in the hit movie, “Scary Movie.”

The scene, which features Faris and actor Jon Abrahams, is considered one of the most memorable moments of the 2000 comedy.

In a special Halloween issue of Entertainment Weekly, Faris and Wayans recall the scene and the hesitation Faris had towards performing it.

Faris, who was a newcomer to the movie industry, was nervous about the scene as it was her first film role.

Wayans recalls how he reassured Faris that the audience would ultimately decide whether the scene stayed in the film.

“So I took her for a little walk, and I said, ‘I will not be the one to decide whether this stays in the movie,’ ” he said.

” ‘The audience is gonna decide. If they’re laughing, then you will have nothing to be embarrassed about. If they’re groaning, I give you my word, I’ll cut it out of the movie.’

“She took a deep breath and committed 100 percent, and the rest is history.”

Faris, who was uncertain about how to approach the scene, was relieved when Abrahams told her to simply say her lines when Wayans called “action.”

Despite some mixed reviews, the film was a box office success and remains the second highest-grossing horror comedy of all time.

The discussion of Faris’ role in Scary Movie is part of Entertainment Weekly’s feature on “Hollywood’s Greatest Untold Stories.”

The feature covers various horror movies, including “Child’s Play,” “The Craft,” and “Hocus Pocus.”

“Scary Movie” was a groundbreaking film for its time, introducing Faris to the movie industry and forever cementing her as a talented actress in the minds of audiences.

The scene in question may have been daunting for Faris at the time, but it is now a memorable moment in the world of film and comedy.

Looking back on the movie, Faris reflects on her experience and the success it brought her.

“I had no idea what to say when [Wayans] called ‘Action,’ ” she said.

“I turned to Jonny and was like, ‘So wait, what are we supposed to do?’ And he was like, ‘Say your line.'”

“Scary Movie” received mixed reviews from critics, with the New York Times calling its jokes “annoying less for their vulgarity than for their tiredness.”

Nevertheless, the film was a hit among audiences and has since become a cult classic.

Despite the challenges Faris faced during the filming of “Scary Movie,” she was able to overcome them and deliver a performance that has since become legendary.

The sx scene between Faris and Abrahams is now considered one of the most iconic moments in the history of comedy and horror films.
