As a gamer who has spent countless hours huddled around my TV, binge-watching horror movie parodies from the comfort of my gaming chair, the news that the Scary Movie reboot is getting the original creators back on board is music to my ears (or should I say, screams?). The Wayans brothers have always been masters at taking the fear out of fright flicks and turning them into hilarious, side-splitting comedies.
Earlier this year, it was announced that a reboot of the popular movie “Scary Movie” is in the works, and now we have exciting news: The original creators of the franchise – the Wayans brothers – are coming back to pen the fresh script for this upcoming project.
Recently, Marlon Wayans posted a picture on Instagram featuring him alongside a fictionalized version of Ghostface from the Scary Movie series. In this post, Wayans announced that the Wayans brothers will rejoin the franchise and expressed excitement about resuming filming for a new movie. An official statement to Deadline confirmed that Marlon, Shawn, and Keenen Wayans are all eager to get back to work on the project.
The brothers expressed their immense joy about joining the latest Scary Movie installment and collaborating once more. They reminisced about the franchise they originated over two decades ago, recalling the hearty laughter echoing in the cinema halls. They eagerly anticipate reviving those chuckles on the big screen. They are thrilled to partner with Jonathan Glickman and his Miramax team to make this a reality – it’s like a double reunion.
The Wayans brothers have played a crucial role in the Scary Movie series since it began. The initial movie from 2000 was directed by Keenen Ivory Wayans, and scripted by Shawn and Marlon along with Buddy Johnson, Phil Beauman, Jason Friedberg, and Aaron Seltzer. Later, Keenen also helmed the sequel in 2001, with Shawn and Marlon appearing in both that and the first film.

What do we know about the new Scary Movie?
Currently, it’s unclear if any cast members from the initial Scary Movie films will return to their roles for the upcoming movie. The first four out of five Scary Movie films featured Anna Faris and Regina Hall, while Marlon and Shawn Wayans were part of two of these films as well.
Initially released in the year 2000, Scary Movie made its debut as a humorous take on slasher films, mocking movies like Scream and I Know What You Did Last Summer. The series expanded rapidly, with follow-ups appearing in 2001, 2003, 2006, and ultimately a fifth installment in 2013, featuring a predominantly fresh cast.
1) During its initial release period, the Scary Movie series became incredibly popular, raking in over $890 million globally at the box office. This success sparked a big trend of spoof movies imitating various genres, including Superhero Movie, Meet the Spartans, Epic Movie, and others.
