“This is a franchise that we created over 20 years ago. We remember people laughing in the aisles of the cinema and we hope that will continue to be the case!”
Ghostface is still running and the saga Scream has continued unabated for several years. So logically, his famous parody will also rise from its ashes.
A reboot of Scary Movie is officially launched, by the original creators of the franchise namely the Wayans brotherswho return to write the new project.
In a recent post on the networks, Marlon Wayans shared a photo of himself with the satirical version of the masked killer, confiding in passing that theyt “can’t wait to have fun on the big screen again.”
