“We can’t wait to bring Brenda and Cindy back to life and be reunited with our great friends Keenen, Shawn and Marlon — three men we’d literally die for (in Brenda’s case, again),” Hall and Faris said in a joint statement to Deadline.

Marlon shared a throwback photo of the duo in the 2000 original film on his Instagram Story Friday, writing, “They're back.” Marlon and Shawn co-wrote the first film and its 2001 sequel. They starred in both films as Shorty and Ray.

“We couldn’t be more excited to be a part of the new Scary Movie and work with each other again,” the brothers told the outlet last year. “This is a franchise we created more than 20 years ago. We remember people laughing in the aisles and hope to see that happen again.”
