We live in a time when comedy is incredibly popular, but unfortunately, it seems like nobody can take a joke anymore. The rise of cancel culture and the increasing sensitivities of people have made it quite challenging for us to simply enjoy life.
One particular comedy franchise that has brought us countless laughs over the years is Scary Movie. Since its debut in 2000, the series has hilariously parodied numerous popular movies, including The Ring and War of the Worlds.
The success of Scary Movie has opened doors for talented actresses like Regina Hall and Anna Faris, who got their start in the franchise. Despite facing mixed reviews from critics, the movies have gained a dedicated fanbase who would eagerly watch each installment multiple times.
After the release of Scary Movie 5 in 2013, which reportedly tripled its budget at the box office, the series went on hold. Now, after an 11-year hiatus, Paramount is preparing to bring us a new Scary Movie! The announcement was made at CinemaCon, and production is set to begin in the fall of this year, with the movie hitting cinemas in 2025.
While many fans are excited about the upcoming release, there are concerns that it may not deliver the same level of humor. People worry that with the changing sensibilities and the way society has become more sensitive, it might be challenging to create a comedy that appeals to a wide audience.
Commenting on the project, many individuals expressed their doubts, believing that it will be difficult to capture the same comedic essence and make it enjoyable for everyone. However, we won’t know for sure until it’s released. So, let’s keep our fingers crossed and hope that the new Scary Movie exceeds our expectations!
