Anna Faris says she'd return to Scary Movie franchise under one condition

When you think of epic movie franchises what comes to mind?

There's the obvious ones Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Sharknado, The Godfather, Scary Movie.

There's an imposter amongst us.

Yes, The Godfather.

I'm joking, of course, it's Sharknado, although ridicule me if you want - I have never watched The Godfather.

I'm half expecting our movie writer Michael Slavin to burst through the wall like the Kool-Aid Man.

Anyway, he hasn't so let's get into it.

Anna Faris, one of the star's of the hit parody series Scary Movie, has said there would be one condition if she was to feature in another hilarious spoof.

For the first four films, released between 2000 and 2006, Faris played Cindy Campbell - the main character in the franchise, or was as she didn't appear in Scary Movie 5 - which premiered in 2013. Faris said at the time: "I didn't see all of it," talking about the fifth film. "Truthfully, here's what I think: I don't know, I always joke that I was too old. ... They wanted to, like, revamp the brand, or whatever."

Since then, Paramount confirmed that there will be a sixth movie.

The 53-year-old actor sat down with PEOPLE to discuss the possibility of Cindy's return.

She explained that she has certain demands if she was to return to the hit franchise, one of which would, of course, be the money.

But the real draw for her to return is actually her co-star, Regina Hall, who played Cindy's best friend, Brenda Meeks.

What would it take for her to sign on for another Scary Movie instalment? "Well, money!" Faris tells PEOPLE with a laugh.

The actress, who stars in the new film My Spy The Eternal City, adds that she 'would love to reprise' her role if it meant co star Regina Hall, who played her character's best friend Brenda, would also return.

Speaking about her one condition to return, Faris said: "I would love to work with Regina again. I just love her so much.

"We would make each other giggle all day long. Regina Hall would be my answer. And money. But mostly all Regina!"

The first five films have grossed almost $900 million at the box office worldwide, and fans of the series would almost definitely help smash the $1 billion mark.

She continued: "I love that franchise. It was like my bootcamp, my beginnings.

"If there is a high school comparison for my growth experience, those four movies played an important role in my life in terms of teaching me how to use props, teaching me how to fall, how to get hit in the head — how to hold Chiclets in my mouth and then spit them out with blood at a convenient time for the camera."

So, if fans of the show want to see Faris return, Hall better be with her for Scary Movie 6 - which is expected to be released next year.
