Actors Sanaa Lathan, Omar Epps, Kyla Pratt, and Dennis Haysbert all reunited for a special screening and Q&A event for the 15th anniversary of their film "Love & Basketball" at the Los Angeles film festival, E! News reports.

During the Q&A portion of the celebration, Epps and Lathan spoke with Essence about the film and their experience playing their famous characters and onscreen lovers Monica Wright and Quincy McCall.

Lathan and Epps both agreed that prior to filming "Love and Basketball" they were both big fans of the script.

"I just thought it was a dope script, it's really empowering for women, certain undertones of the film resonated with me also. I just thought it was fresh, I thought it was of that time and progressive and we hadn't seen something like that," Epps said.

When asked if they could immediately relate to the characters they were playing at the time, Lathan said that she could relate while Epps said that he "didn't identify with the character at all."

"He had a mother and a father; I grew up without a father. He was popular and I wasn't a popular kid. I don't think any of us artists/actors were popular kids; it kind of doesn't work that way. We are like the weirdos growing up," Epps explained.

Despite the many contrasts he had to his character, Epps said he could somewhat relate to his character's athletic ability since he played football for fun when he was growing up.

Lathan and Epps also talked about the possibility of filming a sequel for "Love and Basketball." Though they both enjoyed filming the classic film, they agree that doing a sequel would tarnish how good the original "Love and Basketball" already is.

"I'm not sure if the director Gina wants to do a sequel, I think Love & Basketball is perfect the way it is," Lathan said with Epps. "Gina and I actually spoke about that and she has this you-don't-touch-a-classic-thing and I agree but it's tempting because it's like what would the story look like now."
