Los Angeles [US], July 7 (ANI): It’s been 25 years since ‘Scary Movie’ hit theatres, and Regina Hall’s character Brenda Meeks still makes fans laugh with her iconic lines.
The actress, now 54, recently hosted a cookout in Los Angeles on June 25 with Bounty, where she talked about the film’s lasting popularity and her summer barbecue favourites, according to PEOPLE.
Hall, while speaking to the publication, remembered her experience working with director Keenen Ivory Wayans.
“It was a dream to work with him because I learned so much. It’s very wonderful that even after 25 years, audiences still resonate and laugh. I think that goes to the genius of Keenen and the Wayans [family]. They were able to be a part of that genre of filmmaking with parodies that people can still laugh at,” she said.
