- Quick Answer: While not officially greenlit, Scary Movie 7 is highly likely, as Marlon Wayans confirmed early development ideas depend on the current sequel's box office success.
With the recent release of the new Scary Movie, fans are already wondering whether a seventh installment is already in the works.
After a 13-year absence, the horror parody franchise is back with a new installment that brings back most of the cast members and creative team from the earlier films. Now that it is expected to top the charts at the box office, there are already questions about whether they are developing a seventh movie.
Is Scary Movie 7 Already in Development?
Speaking with Variety during the red carpet premiere of the new Scary Movie, star, writer, and producer Marlon Wayans teased that they are already working on ideas for the seventh installment.
He even suggested that they would parody the recent horror sensations Obsession and Backrooms in the next movie.
"Wait for Scary Movie 7, and we will come back, and we're going to get us some Backrooms, and we're going to get us some Obsession. Thank you guys, keep making the movies," Wayans said.
While nothing official has been set yet by Paramount and Miramax, Wayans' remarks suggest they are already cooking up some ideas for the potential next installment, if the newly released movie ends up being a success.
As expected, the critics' reviews for the new Scary Movie have been on the negative side (similar to the other Scary Movie installments). However, box office projections suggested that it would dominate the charts this weekend.
Early signs are saying that a seventh installment is now imminent at this point, and if it ends up happening, Obsession and Backrooms will likely be the targets of the parody, as well as the upcoming horror releases in the near future.
What is Scary Movie 6 About?
In Scary Movie 6 (which is simply titled Scary Movie), twenty-six years after outrunning a suspiciously familiar masked killer, the Core Four are back in the killer’s crosshairs, and no horror movie IP is safe.
Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, Anna Faris, and Regina Hall reunite in the upcoming installment 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.
The cast also includes Damon Wayans Jr., Gregg Wayans, Kim Wayans, Benny Zielke, Cameron Scott Roberts, Cheri Oteri, Chris Elliott, Dave Sheridan, Heidi Gardner, Lochlyn Munro, Olivia Rose Keegan, Ruby Snowber, Savannah Lee Nassif, and Sydney Park.
The film is now showing in theaters worldwide, as part of the summer season slate.
