Wayans Brothers Announce Return to Their Most Iconic Franchise

Just in time for Halloween, Marlon Wayans revealed that he and his brothers are returning to an iconic franchise which they helped create.

On Tuesday, the White Chicks star announced the family would be returning to the Scary Movie franchise. Marlon posted a picture to Instagram showing himself standing alongside the Ghostface killer with the caption, "Last week, I said I had a HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT to make. Well here it is…"

"WE’RE BACK!!!" Wayans continued. "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," the post concluded.

According to Deadline, the movie is set to be shot next year and is primed for a theatrical release. The Wayans are writing the script alongside longtime collaborator Rick Alvarez. The first two films in the raunchy spoof series were directed by Keenan Ivory Wayans, who also wrote the script alongside Marlon, who starred. With the third installment, Harvey Weinstein pushed the Wayans brothers out of the franchise they helped create and brought in Airplane!’s David Zucker.

“We couldn’t be more excited to be a part of the new Scary Movie and work with each other again," the brothers told Deadline. "This is a franchise we created more than 20 years ago. We remember people laughing in the aisles and hope to see that happen again."
