Production
At CinemaCon in April 2024, Miramax announced that a new Scary Movie film was in development, with the studio fully financing the project and Neal H. Moritz attached as a producer. [2] In October 2024, it was revealed that the Wayans brothers— Marlon, Shawn and Keenen Ivory —would return as screenwriters and producers, marking their first collaboration in 18 years; they co-wrote Scary Movie (2000) and Scary Movie 2 (2001), both films directed by Keenen Ivory and starring Marlon and Shawn. Rick Alvarez and Michael Tiddes were hired to co-write and direct, respectively, after collaborating with Marlon in the films A Haunted House (2013), A Haunted House 2 (2014), Fifty Shades of Black (2016), Naked (2017), and Sextuplets (2019).
