There couldn’t be a better time for a new Scary Movie. First of all, the Wayans Bros. are back in charge and that was when these movies were at their best. Second, Scream 7, which inspired these horror parodies to begin with, just scored a whopping $97M debut weekend, proving that audiences are still very much into it and will want to watch it get mocked mercilessly. This is also the perfect time for the new trailer for Scary Movie 6 to land online.
I saw this Scary Movie 6 trailer yesterday while revisiting Crime 101, and found it to be kind meh. That said, it looks a Hell of a lot funnier than the movies that hit after the Wayans’ departed following Scary Movie 2.
Franchise mainstays Anna Faris, Regina Hall, Jon Abrahams, Cheri Oteri, Dave Sheridan, plus Shawn and Marlon Wayans return, joined by Lochlyn Munro, Anthony Anderson, Chris Elliott, Damon Wayans Jr., Kim Wayans, Heidi Garnder, Felissa Rose, Olivia Rose Keegan, Cameron Scott Roberts, and Savannah Lee Nassif.
Michael Tiddes (A Haunted House, Fifty Shades of Black) directs from a script by Marlon, Shawn, Keenen Ivory Wayans, and Rick Alvarez. Keenan is famously the creator of the Scary Movie franchise as well as In Living Color.
The Wayans’ have some big movies to take shots at, too, including Weapons and Ryan Coogler’s Sinners.
SYNOPSIS: Twenty-six years after outrunning a suspiciously familiar masked killer (Ghostface), the Core Four are back in the killer’s crosshairs, and no horror movie IP is safe. Marlon Wayans (Shorty), Shawn Wayans (Ray), Anna Faris (Cindy), and Regina Hall (Brenda) reunite in Scary Movie alongside returning favorites and fresh faces to slash through reboots, remakes, requels, prequels, sequels, spin-offs, elevated horror, origin stories, anything with the word legacy in it, and every “final chapter” that absolutely isn’t final. Nothing is sacred. No trope survives. Every line gets crossed. The Wayans are back to cancel the Cancel Culture.
Scary Movie 6 hits theaters on June 12th from Paramount.
