SCARY MOVIE, the comedy franchise that parodied horror movies like Scream and I Know What You Did Last Summer, will be rebooted.


The Wayans brothers are reuniting for the first time in 18 years to write an all new, original script for the restart of the franchise.


SCARY MOVIE was one of the highest grossing R-rated horror movies of all time. The film opened at $42.5 million which was the biggest opening for an R-rated horror movie and a black director at that time.


The SCARY MOVIE film franchise was developed by Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans and Keenen Ivory Wayans. Keenen Ivory Wayans wrote and directed the first two films. Marlon Wayans and Shawn Wayans wrote and starred in the first two films. This will be the sixth film in the franchise.


The Wayans brothers, alongside Rick Alvarez, will be writing and producing this film. Miramax is the studio behind the franchise and Paramount Pictures is releasing worldwide. Becky Sloviter is overseeing for Miramax.


 SCARY MOVIE is part of Paramount Pictures' first look deal with Miramax.  


Jonathan Glickman quote: "We are thrilled to reunite Scary Movie with the Wayans brothers, the brilliant creators behind the beloved franchise. The timing is perfect to bring back the series to the big screen and we’re lucky to have Keenen, Marlon and Shawn’s unique comedic vision bringing it to audiences around the world."


Marlon, Shawn and Keenen quote: “We couldn’t be more excited to be a part of the new SCARY MOVIE and work with each other again. 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. We look forward to working with Jonathan Glickman and his team at the new Miramax to bring these laughs to theaters, where they belong. It’s a double reunion.”


 SCARY MOVIE will be released in theaters and begins shooting in 2025.


Marlon Wayans will be seen starring in Justin Tipping’s psychological sports thriller HIM, produced by Jordan Peele’s Monkeypaw Productions, out September 2025. He is currently on his Wild Child Tour throughout the nation.
