Wayans Bros Return for Scary Movie Reboot


The Scary Movie franchise was famously snatched from under its creators, Marlon, Shawn, and Keenen Ivory Wayans by Harvey Weinstein and his brother Bob [click here if you missed that].

Now the Wayans Brothers are returning for the new reboot...

The Scary Movie reboot that was announced at CinemaCon, has finally come together with the franchise’s architects reuniting for the first time in 18 years for a new original screenplay; the earlier series a send-up of slashers like Scream and I Know What You Did Last Summer. The new Scary Movie will shoot next year for a theatrical release. The Wayans and Rick Alvarez are writing and producing the movie.
The Scary Movie film franchise was developed by Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans and Keenen Ivory Wayans. Keenen Ivory Wayans wrote and directed the first two films. Marlon Wayans and Shawn Wayans wrote and starred in the first two films.
Miramax Boss Jonathan Glickman exclaimed, “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 Wayans told us, “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.”
The Scary Movie comedies during the early aughts grossed north of $896M worldwide through five movies. Scary Movie, released in 2000, was one of the highest grossing R-rated horror movies of all time back in the day. The film opened at $42.5 million which was the biggest opening for an R-rated horror movie and a black director at that time.

Just like Tyler Perry can't write, the Wayan Brothers can't funny.

It's funny how folks say Tyler can't write and the Wayans ain't funny but all both of them do is sell and make tons of money--go figure...!

I’m still irritated with Marlon judging Michael B. Jordan when he simply called out his high school hater. The girl was wrong and he simply stated a fact and kept it professional answering her questions.
Marlon will never make a movie by himself that debut at $100 million +. All it showed was him being jealous of that young man doing big things and didn’t have to be a buffoon to do it!
And I’m sick of these repeated movies. Do something different!
