Ghostface Is Returning

So now we know Scary Movie 6 is happening, we have also had confirmation that Ghostface will be returning to the franchise, 

Dave Sheridan, who starred in the original Scary Movie as Officer Doofy  has confirmed in an interview with Collider that Ghostface will return in the new film, but hinted that a different actor might take on the role of this iconic horror parody in the upcoming sequel.
The only thing I can 100% tell you is that Ghostface will return for Scary Movie 6. Marlon [Wayans] already confirmed that by taking a photo with a Ghostface and that is not me in that photo.

Will Regina Hall Return As Brenda Meeks? 

Will we be seeing Brenda return to the franchise? 

Brenda has been a fan favorite from the films thanks to her comedic timing, and in a recent chat with TV Insider, the actress shared her excitement about the Wayans brothers returning and hinted at the possibility of playing Brenda again.

Anna is great. I'm just very excited to know that the Wayans, who actually started the project out of their idea, are back on board and at the helm again. I'm excited for them. We'll see if Brenda is in this new world. I'm thrilled at the possibility that the band could get back together again. That would be fun.

New Scary Movie Confirmed By The Wayans Brothers

As it was noted below, it was announced a few months ago that a Scary Movie reboot was happening, but in recent days it has been officially confirmed by the Wayans Brothers, who will be writing the script for the film and producing.

ANNOUNCEMENT to make well here it is…

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.

Scary Movie Getting Rebooted

After it was announced The Blair With Project is getting a reboot, it was revealed today that Paramount and Mirimax are rebooting the Scary Movie franchise, with Neal H. Moritz, the producer of the Fast & Furious, teaming up with Paramount to breathe new life into the series. 

The Scary Movie reimagining is slated to begin production in the fall of 2024 and is set to hit theaters in 2025. While no director or actors have been confirmed yet.

The popular franchise, first released in 2000, took aim at popular slasher films such as Scream, I Know What You Did Last Summer, and Friday the 13th. And the franchise continued to take aim at other popular movies with the sequels that followed.

Despite mixed success for the subsequent films, the original Scary Movie was a box office sensation, grossing an impressive $278 million on a modest $19 million budget. 

The first two installments of the Scary Movie franchise, featuring Marlon Wayans and Shawn Wayans, were directed by the Keenen Ivory Wayans. The third and fourth films, released in 2003 and 2006 respectively, were directed by David Zucker. 

The latest addition to the series, Scary Movie V, which starred Simon Rex and Ashley Tisdale, was co-directed by Zucker and Malcolm D. Lee in 2013. [Scary Movie 6 on IMDB]
