Eleven years have gone by since the release of a new entry in the Scary Movie horror parody series – but the franchise isn’t going to remain dormant for much longer. Deadline reports that the Miramax label at Paramount, which is now operating under new boss Jonathan Glickman, has given the greenlight to a new Scary Movie sequel, with the plan being to get the film into theatres sometime in 2025. If any writers or a director are attached to the project, they weren’t named in this announcement.
Directed by In Living Color creator Keenen Ivory Wayans from a screenplay written by a bunch of people, the first Scary Movie was released by Dimension Films back in 2000. Scary Movie 2 was released in 2001, and the Wayans remained at the head of the creative team for that one.

Fans of the 2004 comedy White Chicks can rejoice as a sequel to the Wayans brothers’ film appears to be in the works.
Terry Crews, who portrayed professional basketball player Latrell Spencer in the movie, revealed he had recently discussed the idea with Shawn Wayans, who assured him that a sequel was happening.
“I actually got with Shawn [Wayans] and he was like, ‘Man, we’re doing it, we’re getting it going,’ ” Crews told Andy Cohen on a recent episode of Watch What Happens Live.
The 50-year-old actor joked he’s been keeping in shape over the years in hopes of a potential White Chicks sequel.

In the can-you-top-this sweepstakes that inspires makers of drag comedies, the Wayans Bros. have clearly hit on the screwiest gimmick yet: Two homeboy FBI agents go undercover as white women. White Chicks not only scrambles lines of race and gender but does riffs on class, sex, etiquette, high society and catfights that you wouldn't believe. Willing to do almost anything to get a laugh, director Keenen Ivory Wayans and his co-conspirators -- his brothers, co-writers and stars Shawn and Marlon -- along with a swarm of co-writers and co-producers throw everything at the screen to see what sticks. A fair amount does.
This is the kind of film that will leave many audience members groaning with laughter -- and others simply groaning. It's skit/situation comedy that exploits stereotypes with a vengeance and knows no shame in borrowing from much better movies ranging from Some Like It Hot to Tootsie. With theaters hosting such "white" comedies as "Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story" and The Terminal, this urban comedy -- which actually features more white actors than black -- should make clever counterprogramming. Certainly this is a smarter and much better movie than the Wayanses Scary Movie series, so boxoffice prospects look promising.
Shawn and Marlon Wayans play two hapless FBI agents and brothers, Kevin and Marcus Copeland, who have a talent for deep undercover disguises but no talent whatsoever for arresting bad guys. About the only thing their boss (Frankie Faison) trusts them to do is transport two socialite heir-heads, Brittany and Tiffany Wilson (Maitland Ward and Anne Dudek), believed to be the targets of a kidnapping, to a debutante blowout weekend in the toney seaside resort of the Hamptons.
Then a hysterical sequence involving a pampered dog and a traffic crash renders the Wilson sisters unfit to party. So the brothers decide to go undercover as the sisters. Once the two become encased in layers of paint, wigs, masks and costumes, they actually do talk and behave like the two vacuous blondes -- think the Hilton sisters -- they are impersonating. So it's off to the Hamptons, where Brittany and Tiffany encounter the sisters' hated rivals, Heather and Megan Vandergeld (Jaime King and Brittany Daniel), as well as their best gal pals (Busy Philipps, Jennifer Carpenter and Jessica Cauffiel).
From here on, what passes for a plot guides the film through a series of situations that underscore, let us say, different points of view -- black vs. white, male vs. female -- regarding music, clothes, shopping, weight gain, dancing, romancing and social climbing. The comic batting average here is not bad so long, as you don't mind singles, bunts and bases on balls rather than booming home runs. Logic is thrown to the wind, and many characters who are meant to be smart -- for instance, a supposedly ace TV reporter (Rochelle Aytes), who catches the eye of Kevin/Brittany -- must look dumb for the masquerade to work.
The set pieces come off well: A shopping excursion where Marcus/Tiffany must struggle into clothes two sizes too small; a dance-off between the rival female cliques; a date between a black superstar athlete (Terry Crews) and Marcus/Tiffany, where everything Tiffany does to gross him out turns him on; a chaotic fashion show, where the real Wilson sisters and their male replicants show up.
Marlon and Shawn Wayans, in roles they conceived for themselves, make credible white chicks. One does need to consult a program, however, to remember which one is Tiffany or Brittany. Marlon has one line, possibly the funniest in the film, that can only be funny if delivered by a black man impersonating a white woman.
Credit special effects makeup artists Greg Cannom and Keith Vanderlaan with the eerie ability to transform two thin black men into voluptuous white chicks. And credit cinematographer Steven Bernstein and designer Paul J. Peters with transforming Vancouver in the fall into the Hamptons in the summer, quite possibly the harder task.
