They’ve been threatening us for a while now and now they’re making their move movie.
Yes, following on from the announcement at CinemaCon, Marlon, Shawn and Keenen Ivory Wayans are all reuniting some 18 years after the last one, to bring the world a new Scary Movie.
Sending up movies like Scream and I Know What You Did Last Summer back in the day [the 2000s], the new movie will undoubtedly set it sights on things like The Babadook, Midsommar, Terrifier and, well, Scream.
“Stu is still alive…” Matthew Lillard prepping us for a Scream VII return?!
Marlon, Shawn and Keenen Wayans said in a joint 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.”
The Wayans and Rick Alvarez will write and produce the new installment.
While I was never a big fan of the Scary Movie franchise, I am happy to see the return of the send-up movie and with horror being a very different animal now than it was over 20 years ago, I look forward to seeing how they’ll approach it.
No release date or cast announced yet, but we will keep you posted as we hear more.
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. pic.twitter.com/iWGrh4IWrh

Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
