The Wayans Brothers Are Filming a SCARY MOVIE Reboot in 2025

As a dedicated fan of the hilarious and groundbreaking Wayans family, I can hardly contain my excitement for the return of the iconic “Scary Movie” franchise! The original films were a masterclass in parody, paving the way for countless other comedies to follow. The chemistry between Marlon and Shawn as Shorty and Ray was unparalleled, and their departure left a void that, despite several attempts at filling it, never truly felt right.


Back in 2000, just like how the original “Scream” movie revolutionized the horror genre, the first “Scary Movie” film I’m referring to was a game-changer too – it sparked countless imitators and even spawned its own series. The initial pair of “Scary Movie” films were brought to life by none other than Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, and Keenen Ivory Wayans – three talented brothers from the legendary Wayans family, known for comedy gems like “In Living Color,” “The Wayans Bros.,” and more. In these first two “Scary Movie” films, Marlon and Shawn stepped into the roles of Shorty and Ray, their characters smoking weed throughout the story.

As reported by Deadline, a new Scary Movie film was announced at CinemaCon and is expected to start production in 2025. It remains undecided whether Marlon or Shawn Wayans will reappear on-screen or instead work behind the scenes. Miramax Boss Jonathan Glickman expressed excitement about reuniting the Scary Movie franchise with the Wayans brothers, who are known for their creative genius. He believes that now is the ideal moment to revive the series in cinemas and feels fortunate to have Keenen, Marlon, and Shawn’s distinctive comedic talent bringing it to viewers worldwide.

The Wayans brothers announced their enthusiasm for joining the latest “Scary Movie” production, expressing delight at collaborating once more. This franchise holds special significance as it was something we initiated over 20 years ago. We recall audiences roaring with laughter in the theaters and eagerly anticipate that joyous noise again. We’re excited to team up with Jonathan Glickman and his Miramax crew to bring those chuckles back to the big screen, where they truly belong. This is a double reunion for us.

The initial two “Scary Movie” flicks undeniably contain jokes that might not be suitable for modern audiences, yet the Wayans are comedic virtuosos who possess an uncanny ability to adjust their style according to the times. We’re eagerly awaiting to see what they decide to satirize in this upcoming lighthearted film.
