Anna Faris says early talks on a House Bunny sequel
Actress Anna Faris has revealed that early discussions are underway regarding a potential sequel to the 2008 comedy film The House Bunny. The news emerged as Faris promotes her return to the horror-parody franchise with Scary Movie 6, which opens in theaters this weekend.
Speaking to Entertainment Tonight, Faris confirmed there is interest in reviving the project but cautioned that it remains in very preliminary stages. "I would love to talk to you about House Bunny stuff, and it turns out, there’s interest," Faris said. "I never thought that dream would ever be realized either, and it’s too soon to say anything, but it turns out that movie is beloved, and that character too."
In the original film, Faris starred as Shelley Darlingson, a Playboy Bunny who is evicted from Hugh Hefner's mansion and becomes the house mother for a struggling, socially awkward sorority. The ensemble cast featured several actors early in their careers, including Emma Stone, Colin Hanks, Kat Dennings, Katharine McPhee, and Rumer Willis. Parts of the film were shot at the Playboy Mansion, with cameos from Hefner and his then-girlfriends Holly Madison, Kendra Wilkinson, and Bridget Marquardt.
