After nearly 20 years, the Wayans brothers are finally going to give fans what they have been asking for: the return of the Scary Movie franchise! "We are looking forward to having fun again on the big screen," one of the brothers said. Scary Movie launched five films, grossing 896 million dollars.
The time is perfect to bring the saga back to the big screen, and we are lucky to have the unique comic vision of Keenen, Marlon, and Shawn to bring it to audiences around the world,” announced Jonathan Glickman, head of Miramax.
For the Wayans, it is also a joy to return with this franchise that gave them so much satisfaction in the past: “Last week I said that I had a huge announcement to make it right, here it is... We are back!
Scary Movie was a film that burst onto the scene in the early 2000s and became popular for mixing two genres within a single feature film, which also included many parodies. The union of humor and horror was a hit with audiences.
Brothers Marlon and Shawn Wayans were the ones who developed the successful franchise, along with their brother Keenen Ivory Wayans, who wrote and directed the first two films in the saga.
After 24 years since the first installments, they will reunite and create an original script in which they will participate along with the cast from the first films: Regina Hall, Simon Rex, and Anna Faris.
“We are thrilled to bring Scary Movie back with the Wayans brothers, the brilliant creators behind the beloved franchise.
About the sixth installment, it is only known that the protagonists of the first one will return, and everything is set for them to start filming.
