Melissa Barrera had the lead role of Samantha Carpenter in the 2022 Scream film and its follow-up Scream VI, and she was all set to reprise the role in Scream 7… until she was fired from the project after comments she made about the Israel-Hamas war didn’t go over well with executives at Spyglass Media. Now Barrera, who can currently be seen on the big screen in the vampire movie Abigail, has revealed that she’s interested in doing something no other major Scream star has done before: she would like to cross over into the Scary Movie parody franchise, which got started with a movie that used the first Scream as a major source of inspiration, by landing a role in the recently announced Scary Movie 6.

Over ten years since the forgettable Scary Movie 5, we’re now getting Scary Movie 6, which is arriving in 2025. More here.
Infamously taking the original title intended for the first Scream film, the spoof Scary Movie arrived in cinemas all the way back in the summer of 2000, and promptly outgrossed the film that it was basically taking the piss out of. Along with its first sequel, that arrived a year later, it was directed by Keenan Ivory Wayans, and the modestly-costed films returned sizeable profits.
Not that they were much cop after the first film. David Zucker took over for Scary Movie 3 and Scary Movie 4, in 2003 and 2006 respectively, and both in truth veer on the ‘best forgotten’ side. It took seven more years before we got Scary Movie 5, with Malcolm D Lee this time directing, and the quality of that film seemed to have driven the franchise into the ground for good.

Eleven years have gone by since the release of a new entry in the Scary Movie horror parody series – but the franchise isn’t going to remain dormant for much longer. Deadline reports that the Miramax label at Paramount, which is now operating under new boss Jonathan Glickman, has given the greenlight to a new Scary Movie sequel, with the plan being to get the film into theatres sometime in 2025. If any writers or a director are attached to the project, they weren’t named in this announcement.
Directed by In Living Color creator Keenen Ivory Wayans from a screenplay written by a bunch of people, the first Scary Movie was released by Dimension Films back in 2000.

It's been more than 10 years since the world was subjected to the last "Scary Movie" sequel, but as is the case with any famous horror movie villain, it's practically impossible to keep this series down forever. And now Paramount Pictures plans to breathe new life into this particular franchise. The studio will be teaming up with Miramax to resurrect the "Scary Movie" franchise with a brand new installment. Production begins this fall, and the film will be in theaters in 2025.
Variety reports that producer Neal H. Moritz, who is best known for producing the "Fast and Furious" movies for Universal, will be producing this new iteration. Moritz was not directly associated with any of the previous five "Scary Movie" films, but interestingly, he did produce a couple of horror flicks that were parodied in those early versions, including "I Know What You Did Last Summer" and "Urban Legend."

Scary Movie is coming back to skewer the horror genre.
Paramount and Miramax are making a new take on the franchise and expect to go before cameras in the fall, Paramount revealed at CinemaCon Thursday. Fast and Furious producer Neal H. Moritz will produce the new Scary Movie.
Scary Movie launched in 2000, just a few years after Scream and I Know What You Did Last Summer arrived on the scene to dominate the horror landscape. Director Keenen Ivory Wayans’ feature grossed $278 million globally and starred Anna Faris, Regina Hall and sparked four sequels, with director Malcom D. Lee’s Scary Movie 5 debuting in 2013.
Miramax will finance the new Scary Movie and Paramount will distribute. The news comes after Miramax named Jonathan Glickman CEO.

Fun trivia: one of the working titles for Wes Craven's 1996 slasher satire "Scream" was "Scary Movie." Filmmaker Keenan Ivory Wayans got wind of this trivia, and decided in 2000 to make a film called "Scary Movie" intended to satirize the popularity of "Scream." The late 1990s were a curious time in popular culture, as there weren't too many dominant horror trends. Popular music was beginning to comment on its own self-awareness (see: "Flagpole Sitta") and irony became ironic. Self-reflection went from a healthy Socratic exercise into a loop of eternal recurrence. By 2000, we became so busy commenting on our own commentaries, that it was hard to see where we started. This is where "Scary Movie" dropped in.
Make no mistake, "Scary Movie" is unfunny, as are its many sequels. They're cheap, homophobic, and vulgar. Wayans took his model from spoof filmmakers like Zucker/Abrahams/Zucker, but aimed to make something...

With so many horrible sequels available, picking the ten worst sequels of all time was challenging. Indeed, there have been numerous instances where sequels have fallen far short of their original counterparts, making them infamous examples of ‘how not to do a sequel.’
Thankfully, viewers on IMDb did most of the work for us, sharing their valuable insights and ratings, which we’ve used to compile this list.
What follows is a painstakingly curated breakdown of each terrible sequel. We delve into what specifically made these follow-ups lackluster and disappointing. Some of these sequels found their unfortunate place on this list despite being birthed from incredibly successful and well-received franchises.
They had every ingredient for success – a captive audience, proven characters, and established lore, yet they managed to fumble. Conversely, others continued on an already rocky path of subpar predecessor films, cementing their series as characterized by chronic cinematic failure.

Filmmaker David Zucker was one of the biggest names in comedy in the 1980s thanks to the success of classic comedies like “Airplane!” and “The Naked Gun” franchise, but he no longer believes either film could be made by Hollywood in 2022. Well they could, “just without the jokes.” In a new interview (via Mediaite), Zucker said Hollywood is “destroying comedy” by being overly sensitive.
“We could be as offensive as we liked,” Zucker said about his directing career, which also included helming “Scary Movie 3” and “Scary Movie 4.” “We went where the laughs were. We never thought that we were offending anyone, but if we were offending people we knew we were on the right track. As time went on, it got to be the ’90s and the 2000s and it did change… We never worried about any of this stuff with the ‘Naked Gun’ or ‘Scary Movie’ films.

Prime Video got off to a fast start this summer with the release of The Boys season 3 on June 3. Now, as we enter the dog days, Prime Video is set to keep the warm weather good times rolling with a new twist on an old classic.

Since 2000, Scary Movie has been the biggest mainstream franchise that’s made fun of popular movies that have defined cinema. The Scary Movie series has never been a critical favorite; however, the first four installments have been very lucrative when it comes to the box office. Each of the installments made over $100 million worldwide, with two of the films making well over $200 million. However, Scary Movie 5 didn’t exactly meet the expectations that the first four set. To be clear, Scary Movie 5 is far from a financial bomb. The production budget for the 2013 feature was $20

If you didn’t Meet The Blacks in 2016, they’re back this weekend in Deon Taylor’s second horror-comedy installment.
The first film was a send-up of The Purge. This one – The House Next Door: Meet The Blacks 2 — goes gothic. Star Mike Epps returns as Carl Black, about to face off with a neighbor from hell, Dr. Mamuwalde (Katt Williams). He’s a pimp who may or may not be a vampire and Carl’s got to figure out what he’s up to in the middle of the night before it’s too late for him and his family.
“In 2016, I made this little movie that cost $900,000. We put it out there ourselves, independently, cut our own trailers, did our own marketing,” Taylor told Deadline. It made $9.1 million. His credits since include Fatale and Black and Blue, “but everywhere I would go, people would say, “Are you going...

So far on “The Masked Dancer,” three of the judges have correctly guessed the identities of some of the costumed dancers. Ken Jeong named Bill Nye as Ice Cube, Brian Austin Green predicted Elizabeth Smart as Moth and Paula Abdul went with Brian McKnight as Cricket. That leaves Ashley Tisdale as the only “Tmd” panelist to not throw out a correct guess … yet. Of course, there are still five masked twirlers in the competition, so Ashley has a chance to get on the board with a point before the winner is ultimately crowned. Scroll down for the updated list of judges’ correct guesses.

“I’ll pay you to get me out of this movie!”
While 2013’s Scary Movie 5 is widely considered as one of the worst of a very bad bunch of cheap and nasty spoof flicks, it’s surprisingly finding a lot of love on Netflix right now. That’s right, Malcolm D. Lee’s bottom-of-the-barrel-scraping horror comedy has been featured in the streaming giant’s Top 10 for almost all of this week. I’m guessing quality isn’t too high on folks’ agendas at the moment. As long as you’re being entertained though, right? Don’t worry, we won’t judge you here.
Boasting a jaw-droppingly awful Rotten Tomatoes score of 4%, it’s safe to say that critics weren’t overly impressed with the fifth entry in the infamous horror parody franchise. Indeed, the popular review aggregator sums it up best: “Juvenile even by Scary Movie standards, this fifth...

If you’re a Netflix subscriber, you’re probably rarely without something interesting to watch in your spare time, as the platform has consistently churned out hit after hit, both in terms of beloved films and original programming. Thankfully, August has only cemented that fact further, offering a wide collection of classic movies and brand new original films and shows that have already done well for themselves.
Subscribers seeking a big dose of nostalgia, for instance, can dive into the entire Jurassic Park trilogy, The NeverEnding Story and its sequel, the original Mad Max or the live-action Dennis the Menace movie. Meanwhile, huge original drops, like the third and final season of The Rain or the Jamie Foxx and Joseph Gordon-Levitt flick Project Power, have done exceptionally well and are doing their part to keep everyone engaged throughout the month.

It’s a pretty quiet Wednesday for Netflix today, but three new titles have been added to the streaming service all the same. And these fresh additions are made up of a foreign language film, a brand new Netflix Original documentary series and, er, pretty much one of the worst horror and/or comedy movies ever made.
Here are the three titles dropping on the site this Wednesday, August 12th:
Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl (2020) N Scary Movie 5 (2013) (Un)Well (Season 1) N
Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl is an Indian Hindi-language biopic which tells the inspirational story of Gunjan Saxena (as played by Janhvi Kapoor), the first ever female pilot to serve in the Indian Air Force during combat. As with many other movies this year, it was supposed to reach cinemas a few months back but its theatrical release was cancelled due to the pandemic, with Netflix stepping in to distribute instead.

If you’re looking for the best streaming content you can get, you’re probably subscribed to Netflix. And that’s a great thing lately, as the platform has been dropping excellent titles week over week for months now. This month alone has already been great with the addition of the entire Jurassic Park trilogy, quirky flicks like Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and Being John Malkovich and, of course, the forgotten Adam Sandler comedy Mr. Deeds.
However, as exciting as some of this month’s new films and shows have been so far, today has brought along an absolutely horrible movie that would be better used as torture than entertainment. Earning itself an abysmal 4% on Rotten Tomatoes, today’s addition of Scary Movie 5 lives up to its name only in the sense that it’s terrifyingly terrible.

Building on a busy month for library expansions, Netflix are now planning to put up a number of new titles this week. In terms of what’s coming from August 10th to August 16th, highlights include four seasons of The Legend of Korra, original movie Project Power, and critical favorites such as Nightcrawler.

Well, the aforementioned Project Power has been gradually generating buzz over its concept, wherein a drug lord provides users with a product that can temporarily grant superpowers. Set in New Orleans, the Netflix picture stars Jamie Foxx and Joseph Gordon-Levitt, with directing duties falling to Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman.

Netflix has often had a reputation for being better for TV than movies, but lately has been more than rectifying this. Its library of quality horror and genre entertainment will once again be expanding in August as well, with several new titles being added throughout the month.

Writer-producer Saladin K. Patterson has signed a new multi-year, overall deal with 20th Century Fox Television. Under the pact, Patterson, who currently is an executive producer on FX comedy Untitled Lil Dickey, will develop, write and produce comedy series for network, cable and streaming platforms. Untitled Lil Dicky, based on the life of comedian and rapper Lil Dicky, received a series order at FX earlier this year.
“The studio’s history with Saladin began more than sixteen years ago, and we’re so happy to welcome him back,” said Carolyn Cassidy, 20th Century Fox TV President of Creative Affairs. “His writing is as smart as it is hilarious, two adjectives that pretty well sum up Saladin himself.

2017-10-11T07:03:52-07:00Lindsay Lohan Defends Harvey Weinstein
Always one to be on the odd side of every story, Scary Movie 5 star Lindsay Lohan spoke out this week on the Harvey Weinstein situation, and her take on the story was unconventional.
Lohan posted a series of video clips on Tuesday speaking out in support of movie producer Harvey Weinstein, who has been accused by a growing list of actresses, journalists, former employees and other women of sexual harassment and assault. Unlike the chorus of Hollywood stars speaking out in condemnation of Weinsten, Lohan spoke in his defense, saying that everyone should leave him alone.
Lohan also called for Weinstein's wife, Georgina Chapman, to take a stand and "be there for her husband." Chapman did, indeed, take a stand, but she stood up and announced that she's leaving Weinstein.
Lohan then encouraged everyone else to stand up for Weinstein.

Many actors have spoken out against Harvey Weinstein since the publication of articles from The New York Times and The New Yorker that revealed decades of alleged sexual harassment, including rape, but Lindsay Lohan is not one of those celebrities. While Kate Winslet, Jennifer Lawrence, George Clooney, and more have condemned the former head of The Weinstein Company, Lohan has come to his defense in a now-deleted Instagram video in which she urges people to “stand up” for Weinstein.

Harvey Weinstein seems to have at least one defender.
Lindsay Lohan shared a Instagram story video saying she supported Weinstein after several women made allegations of sexual misconduct against him in stories published in the New York Times and The New Yorker.
While she deleted the video less than an hour after posting it in the early hours of Wednesday morning local time in the UAE time – where she is currently located – social media users were quick to record and share.
“Hi, this is Lindsay Lohan, I’m in Dubai. I’m home,” she said in her now more European accent.

“If I will it, I can have it all.” So goes the million-dollar motto for Ryan Pierce (Regina Hall), the bestselling author who centers Malcolm D. Lee’s sprawling, women-gone-wild comedy “Girls Trip.” Ryan’s aspirational thinking is meant to motivate her faithful followers, but it seems as though Lee himself was similarly inspired. Lee’s never had trouble crafting a confidently glossy film (we’ll pretend “Scary Movie 5” didn’t happen), although some of his endeavors (“Undercover Brother”) have been more memorable than others (“Welcome Home, Roscoe Jenkins”). “Girls Trip,” a raucous ode to African-American sisterhood, may be his most open-hearted effort since.

Do you fancy watching Jada Pinkett Smith releasing her bowels while suspended from mid-air onto a gazing crowd, or even four feisty women getting high on Absinthe and causing an all out brawl in a dance-off in the middle of a club? Well, that’s what you get as the four lifelong friends decide to get away for the weekend and relive their younger days as potty mouths take hold as well as their raging sexual hormones.

This week’s question: In dubious honor of “Fifty Shades Darker,” what is the most ridiculous sex scene from a movie?
Mark Harris (@MarkHarrisNYC), Vulture/Film Comment
I’m sure others will easily top this, but I always think of Sylvester Stallone and Sharon Stone in the terrible 1994 action film “The Specialist,” having laboriously glossy, oiled, carefully pube-concealing, solemn, positionally exhausting intercourse while mouthing tedious expository dialogue in a shower that appears to be the size of a studio apartment. The 90s were a boom time for bad movie sex, and this is Hall of Fame level in that so much money, time and effort has gone...
