Scary Movie (2026)
"No modern horror movie is safe. The Wayans are back."

The Wayans brothers return to write and direct an all-new installment in the blockbuster horror spoof franchise after over 18 years away.
Taking aim at modern 'elevated horror' hits (M3GAN, Five Nights at Freddy's, Smile, Talk to Me, Hereditary, Terrifier, and Longlegs), the hilarious gang is hunted by an AI-powered Ghostface algorithm in a chaotic college town.
