The “Scary Movie” franchise is set to be rebooted with the Wayans brothers reuniting after 18 years to write an original script for the film.
The comedy series, known for parodying horror movies, will be the sixth installment in the franchise. Miramax and Paramount are collaborating on the project, with shooting scheduled to begin in 2025.
The Wayans family expressed excitement about returning to the beloved series and working together again. Shawn and Marlon both posted, “WE’RE BACK!!! After nearly 20 years, the Wayans brothers are finally going to give the fans what they’ve been asking for… a return to the SCARY MOVIE franchise! We’re looking forward to having fun on the big screen again.”
Marlon Wayans will also star in the upcoming Jordan Peele-produced horror film “Him” before the release of “Scary Movie.”
This announcement comes a little over a week after the debut of Damon Wayans and Damon Wayans Jr. show Poppa’s House aired.
