“I\u2019m a fan of the franchise. Actually, I was in another film (‘Scary Movie 3,’ ‘Scary Movie 4’) that spoofed this franchise, and now I\u2019m in this franchise. So that was that. <\/em>I just found out who the killers were like 27 minutes ago, honestly. Because my script never had an ending to it. I don\u2019t know if they didn\u2019t trust me\u2026the lines that I prepared the night before, when I got to set everything was different. That\u2019s how I went to work. I\u2019m sure I wasn\u2019t the only one like that, but honestly, since I haven\u2019t seen the film and my script never had the ending part of it, I didn\u2019t know who the killers were until literally before (the) last roundtable discussion.<\/em>“<\/strong><\/p>\n

Set for release this weekend (April 15), it’s time for a recap of the black actors (Omar Epps, Jada Pinkett Smith, Elise Neal, Duane Martin, Deon Richmond<\/strong>) that have appeared in the franchise and the result of their appearance.<\/p>\n
