Anna Faris and Regina Hall are returning to the Scary Movie franchise, with the reboot set to his theaters next year. Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans and Keenen Ivory Wayans wrote the script for director Michael Tiddes.
The new project was announced last year at CinemaCon. Known for its satirization of horror films, the Scary Movie franchise has five films overall. We can’t wait to bring Brenda and Cindy back to life and be reunited with our great friends Keenen, Shawn and Marlon — three men we’d literally die for (in Brenda’s case, again),” Faris and Hall said in a joint statement about their characters.
The franchise’s sixth film will hit theaters on June 12, 2026. Paramount is handling global distribution through its first-look deal with producer Miramax, which distributed the franchise’s first three films. The reboot is set to begin production in October.
Rick Alvarez joins the three Wayans brothers as a writer and producer for the reboot. Starring Faris as Cindy and Hall as Brenda, the first Scary Movie opened in July 2000 with $42 million at the domestic box office. The title set records for the biggest opening weekend for an R-rated horror film and a Black director.
The three Wayans brothers frequently collaborated after their success with Scary Movie, working on projects such as 2004’s White Chicks and 2006’s Little Man before working on solo projects.
