Melissa Joan Hart Was Supposed to Play Cindy in SCARY MOVIE

Melissa Joan Hart Was Supposed to Play Cindy in the Original 'Scary Movie' In a fun piece of early-2000s "what if" casting history, actress Melissa Joan Hart recently revealed that she was originally offered the lead role of Cindy Campbell in the 2000 horror parody Scary Movie. At the time, Hart was at the absolute height of her teen-idol fame, starring in Sabrina the Teenage Witch and the teen comedy Drive Me Crazy. However, she ultimately turned down the project because she felt the script's incredibly raunchy, R-rated humor was a bit too far outside her established brand. Her decision to pass on the project opened the door for a then-unknown Anna Faris to step into the iconic, Scream-spoofing role, successfully launching Faris's massive comedic film career.

Jordan Peele Turned Down Role in SCARY MOVIE

Jordan Peele Turned Down a Role in the New 'Scary Movie' Modern horror maestro Jordan Peele recently revealed that he was approached for a cameo in the upcoming Scary Movie reboot, but ultimately turned the offer down. Given that the new installment is set to heavily spoof the recent wave of "elevated horror"—a subgenre Peele helped define with massive hits like Get Out and Nope—the Wayans brothers naturally wanted him involved in the joke. However, Peele politely declined, noting that while he has immense respect for the Wayans' comedic legacy, he prefers to keep his own horror universe separate and playfully admitted he didn't want to show up just to get brutally roasted by Brenda Meeks on the big screen.
