The Scary Movie franchise is getting a Wayans brothers reboot


The Wayans are coming getting back into the Scary Movie business.

Deadline reports that Marlon, Shawn, and Keenen Ivory Wayans have signed on to co-write / co-produce a new Scary Movie reboot for Miramax that will, like earlier installments, spoof a variety of other horror films. The Wayans brothers first created the Scary Movie franchise back in 2000, and in a statement about the new film, they expressed excitement about working with “the new Miramax to bring these laughs to theaters, where they belong.” Though the first two Scary Movies — which were directed by Keenan and starred Marlon and Shawn —were massively successful at the box office, the brothers left the series after contract talks for a third installment fell apart.
