Since the debut of Scary Movie in 2000, the slasher parody series has become a fan favorite. Known for its hilarious performances by Anna Faris and Regina Hall, the franchise has set a high bar in the comedy-horror genre. After the release of Scary Movie 5 in 2013, fans were left wondering if a sixth installment would ever happen.
Now, Miramax has officially announced that Scary Movie 6 is on its way. Here’s everything we know so far about the film, including its release date, cast details, title, trailer, and more.
What is the Release Date for Scary Movie 6?
In a conversation with Deadline on October 29, 2024, Jonathan Glickman, the head of Miramax, revealed that Scary Movie 6 is currently in production. The film will feature a screenplay written by Marlon, Shawn, and Keenen Wayans, reuniting the trio for the first time in over 18 years.
Jonathan shared his excitement, stating, “We’re absolutely delighted to bring Scary Movie back with the Wayans brothers, the masterminds behind the iconic franchise. The timing couldn’t be better to revive the series on the big screen, and we’re thrilled to have Keenen, Marlon, and Shawn’s unique comedic brilliance leading the way for audiences everywhere.”
The Wayans brothers also expressed their enthusiasm, saying, “We’re incredibly excited to be a part of the new Scary Movie and to work together again. We created this franchise over two decades ago, and it feels great to return to it.”
Filming for Scary Movie 6 is set to begin in 2025, but an official release date has not yet been confirmed.
What is the Title of Scary Movie 6?
At this point, the title for Scary Movie 6 has not been officially revealed. Similar to how the 2022 Scream was referred to as Scream 5, Miramax might decide to stick with the simple title Scary Movie for the new installment.
Who is Joining the Cast of Scary Movie 6?
As of now, there has been no confirmation about the cast of Scary Movie 6, but fans are eager to see Anna Faris and Regina Hall back in action. In a recent interview with People, Anna expressed that she would only consider returning if Regina were also part of the cast, saying, “I’d love to work with Regina again. I adore her, and we have so much fun together. We’d just be laughing all day.”
Regina expressed her enthusiasm to TV Insider, saying, “Anna is such a joy to work with. But what really excites me is that the Wayans brothers, who created the whole thing, are back leading the project. It’s great to see them return. As for Brenda, we’ll have to wait and see if she makes a comeback in this new story. I’m genuinely excited at the thought of the crew getting back together.”
In another development, Scream star Melissa Barrera, who was controversially dropped from Scream 7 after voicing her support for Palestine, has revealed that she would love to be a part of a future Scary Movie film.
In a conversation with Inverse, Melissa expressed her enthusiasm, saying, “I’ve always enjoyed those films. When I heard the news, I thought, ‘That sounds like a lot of fun. I’d definitely be interested in doing something like that.’”
There are also rumors that Marlon and Shawn Wayans, in addition to writing the script, might appear in front of the camera as well.
What Can We Expect from Scary Movie 6?
At this point, plot details for Scary Movie 6 are still under wraps, but it’s highly likely that the film will continue its tradition of spoofing popular slasher and horror films, just like the previous installments. Expect to see parodies of recent hits, such as the Scream reboot, Get Out, The Conjuring, and other iconic horror movies.
Marlon Wayans excitedly teased on Instagram, saying, “WE’RE BACK!!! After almost two decades, the Wayans brothers are finally bringing what the fans have been asking for… a new Scary Movie film!”
He also expressed his excitement, writing, “Can’t wait to have fun on the big screen once again!”
