We all loved the hilarious Scary Movie films that parodied slasher movies from the 1990s. The Wayans Brothers were behind the films and they delivered several hilarious hits that had us laughing more than we were screaming, but they also starred gorgeous women who had us creaming. Seriously - remember Carmen Electra being chased by the masked killer? Let me refresh your memory:
The brothers announced the reboot at CinemaCon and said that they are reuniting with the original team behind the successful horror-co,edy franchise (The Wayans and writer Rick Alvarez) to write a new screenplay. The team behind the 2000 hit film has since made four films in total skewering horror movies and they branched out to other parodies as well. Even with their resume, Scary Movie is still the best!
The team behind these films includes Marlon Wayans and Shawn Wayans who both starred in the first two films. A representative from Miramax told the public: “We are thrilled to reunite Scary Movie with the Wayans brothers, the brilliant creators behind the beloved franchise. The timing is perfect to bring back the series to the big screen and we’re lucky to have Keenen, Marlon, and Shawn’s unique comedic vision bringing it to audiences around the world.”
The original film skewered Scream and I Know What You Did Last Summer, but those films are old now. Kids these days might even call them vintage! So what will the new Scary Movie movie make fun of? There are several sexy possibilities! The new film may skewer the horror films of the past few years. Are they going to tackle some of the popular A24 horror films like Hereditary and the Neon films this year like Longlegs and Cuckoo? These films have a decidedly different feel than the 90s slasher films of all.
In a word, I would describe them as intense. But I'd also say that some of them have more nudity than those initial films from the 90s. Midsommar has this naked ritual shot in gorgeous color and light that is sexy and chilling.
There has also been a huge rise in body horror movies. Raw, The Substance, Possessor, Titane, and more have all been released in the past ten years and they all have nudity. I think that it would be incredibly cool if the new Scary Movie films took a stab at these films and the ways that they portray naked bodies on camera. Again, these films are a far cry from Drew Barrymore running from a killer in a tiny sweater. These films show us A LOT more and that is part of the thrill.
The Scary Movie films also starred a lot of hot and hilarious honies. Anna Faris is one of our favorites in the films. She and Regina Hall made us laugh and made us horny!
Who will be in the next film? I cannot wait to find out!
