As a 90s and early 2000s kid who grew up watching the Wayans brothers’ hilarious antics in the Scary Movie series, this news has me jumping for joy! The original trio is reuniting after 18 long years, and I can’t help but feel like it’s Christmas come early.


Earlier this year at CinemaCon, it emerged that a reboot of the ‘Scary Movie’ series was being planned by Paramount. This tidbit alone sparked enthusiasm among followers of the satirical horror franchise. However, what everyone didn’t know was that the most thrilling news was yet to be disclosed. On Tuesday, it was officially confirmed that the original creators of the franchise, Keenen Ivory Wayans, Shawn Wayans, and Marlon Wayans, would all be involved in this upcoming sequel.

It was announced that the Wayans brothers, who initially brought the “Scary Movie” series to life in 2000, are teaming up again after 18 years to write a script. The brothers, along with Rick Alvarez, are working on the new “Scary Movie” script, and all four of them will also act as producers for Miramax.

Through its initial agreement with Paramount, Miramax will ensure a cinematic premiere for the upcoming “Scary Movie”. The filming is tentatively scheduled for some point in the next year, but an exact date has yet to be disclosed. Currently, there’s no information available regarding the release date.

Jonathan Glickman of Miramax is excited to once again team up Scary Movie with the Wayans brothers, the talented minds behind this cherished series. As it happens, now is the ideal moment to revive the show for the big screen, and we’re fortunate that Keenen, Marlon, and Shawn’s distinctive comedic flair will be sharing it globally.

Keenen, Shawn, and Marlon expressed immense joy about joining the latest ‘Scary Movie’ production and collaborating once more. They reminisced on this franchise that they started over 20 years ago, recalling the roars of laughter from the audience. They eagerly anticipate recreating those laughs in theaters once again, working alongside Jonathan Glickman and his Miramax team to achieve this goal. Essentially, it’s a double reunion for them.

Keenen Ivory Wayans penned and orchestrated the first two installments of the Scary Movie franchise. These movies gained a huge following due to their humorous interpretations of well-known horror flicks such as Scream and The Ring. Marlon and Shawn Wayans, Keenen’s brothers, were not only involved in scriptwriting but also appeared on screen for these films.

At the moment the news broke out, Marlon immediately posted on Instagram to express his joy over the long-awaited reunion that fans had been requesting for years.

Here we are once more!” Wayans expressed. “Following almost two decades, the hilarious Mayans brothers are ready to satisfy their fans’ requests – a comeback to the SCARY MOVIE series! We can’t wait to make you laugh on the big screen again.
