Plot details remain under wraps at this time. No casting information has yet been announced.

Jonathan Glickman of Miramax expressed excitement about reviving Scary Movie with the Wayans brothers, who originally created this cherished franchise. He believes that now is an ideal moment to return the series to cinemas and feels fortunate to have the comedic genius of Keenen, Marlon, and Shawn guiding its global release.

Marlon, Shawn, and Keenen shared their enthusiasm by stating, “We can’t contain our excitement to join the latest Scary Movie installment and collaborate with each other once more. This franchise is one we initiated over 20 years ago, and we recall the roars of laughter echoing in the theaters. We eagerly anticipate recreating those moments. We are thrilled to team up with Jonathan Glickman and his Miramax crew to bring back the humor to cinemas, where it truly belongs. This is effectively a double reunion for us.

In July of the year 2000, the initial installment of the Scary Movie series hit the screens. This film was a comedic take on horror movies that were well-known at the time, with Keenen as its director. The release was then followed by four more movies, including Scary Movie 2 (2001), Scary Movie 3 (2003), Scary Movie 4 (2006), and Scary Movie 5 (2013).

In the initial four films, Anna Faris took on the role of Cindy Campbell, while Regina Hall portrayed Brenda Meeks. Marlon Wayans appeared as Shorty Meeks in the first pair of movies, with Shawn Wayans playing Ray Wilkins during the same period.

Or simply: In the first four films, Anna Faris was Cindy Campbell, Regina Hall was Brenda Meeks, and both Marlon Wayans (Shorty Meeks) and Shawn Wayans (Ray Wilkins) appeared in the first two movies.
