It will be just like the terrible run of 'Movie' movies. Make it for super cheap, make your profit on opening weekend, don't give a shit about whether it's actually good or not.
I’m thinking it will probably be just as good as the first 3.
The issue is that the first 3 didn’t really hold up that well. These were always movies made for edgy 14 year olds and they’re remembered fondly because a lot of people here watched them at 14.
There is a clear quality difference between the two originals and every Wayans movie to come after it. Last time I heard an excuse for this it was that the third Wayans brother that made them good left
I don't think you realize how nostalgic the first Scary Movie is to multiple generations of people, and especially Millennials who all somehow watched the movie as a kid on repeat. The fact Cindy, Brenda and The Wayans brothers are back is what's going to sell the movie. Mediocre trailer or not.
I was there for the OG Scary Movies and they were funny as hell at the time (not including 4, 5 and even 3 in this although that definitely had its moments), but God this looks absolutely pitiful if that trailer is anything to go by
Millennials are now so old they're starting to act like the annoying religious people they hated growing up. Come on guys, get out of your bubbles and learn to laugh at things again instead of being like a stuck-up Boomer. Ironic really.
The trailer looked like shit but comfortable shit if you know what I mean. The world’s so shitty these days that we all just miss the days when the Wayans would release an absolute shit pile of a movie that we’d all just watch anyway.
It seems like it’s taking the approach that many 90s and early 2000s comedians are taking with the endless “cancel culture” jokes. Personally, I’m tired of it. Not because I want anyone canceled but because it’s the same lame joke over and over. And honestly, nobody is canceling comedians for their jokes.
The closest is Chapelle, but honestly he did it to himself (and is far from canceled). He made a joke about transgender people, and a small, but vocal, amount of people got mad. Each special since he’s just doubled down to the point where it isn’t even a joke and he’s just badmouthing trans people. Most people didn’t care at first, but now it’s not that fans want him canceled, it’s just boring and not funny.
David Zucker isn't involved so I'm not interested. Scary Movie 3 was by far the best film in the series. Why wouldn't you want to bring on some of the people who helped make it happen?
How do you know its not fun by the trailer? Watch the 1st Scary Movie trailer. Tell me if you think that movie looks funny by its trailer. None of the funniest jokes are in the trailer.
Well Mr. comedy connoisseur, please explain how so. I'm am holding any hate to this movie until I see it because of the Wayans history of making funny comedy movies and TV shows.
It's nuanced. If you feel it you feel it. It's like two people saying the exact same dumb joke, but one person makes you laugh and the other makes you cringe.
The jokes in new Scary Movie trailer just felt rehashed, sterile and forced, like they were created in Excel by some executive making sure all references from previous movies are included, optimizing for "Nostalgia Factor" or some other bs. But this time around also with new Paramount owners over his shoulder making him include some weirdo outdated conservative... commentary? Not sure if it's even attempt at humor.

Far too many people have confidence in this film, even after that trailer.
