Earlier this year at Cinema Con, we learned that Paramount Pictures would be developing a new Scary Movie installment that would soon begin production and release theatrically in 2025. The new film will be the sixth installment (presumably titled Scary Movie 6) and the first installment in over a decade since the release of it's fifth installment Scary Movie 5.
At the time of the previous announcement, there weren't many details as far as who would be writing, directing & joining the cast. But now, it's been confirmed that the Wayans Brothers (Marlon Wayans, Keenen Ivory Wayans, & Shawn Wayans) have signed on to be involved in the next film.
Everything to know so far about the Wayans Brothers in the upcoming "Scary Movie" installment.
The new film marks the first time the comedic brothers will reunite in in 18 years with a new original screenplay they've all written together for the first time in 18 years. The Wayans with Fifty Shades of Black, Sextuplets and Naked scribe Rick Alvarez are on board to write & produce the next film.
Jonathan Glickman, head of Miramax, shared enthusiastically in a statement with Deadline, “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 Ivory Wayans also shared in a group statement, “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.”
In a post on Instagram, Marlon shared the announcement opposite Ghostface saying "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."
The next Scary Movie is aiming to hit theaters in 2025 & will begin production early next year. We're looking forward to hearing more details about the next film in the horror comedy franchise!
