Wayans Cancel Culture

Wayans brothers say Scary Movie 6 will “cancel the Cancel Culture” with big laughs.
Marlon Wayans told Entertainment Weekly the film follows an “equal-opportunity offender” formula.
Kenan Thompson appears as a Michael Jackson parody, slipping on a llama-filled set before moonwalking.
The teaser nods to horror titles such as Scream 6, Get Out, M3GAN and Terrifier and cites $896 million worldwide earnings for the first five Scary Movie films.

**Tiddes Directs**

Veteran producer Neal H. Moritz partners with the Wayans team while Wayans family writers co-write the script with Rick Alvarez.
Returning and new supporting actors include Jon Abrahams, Cheri Oteri and Chris Elliott.
After a 13-year hiatus since the 2013 entry, the new promo mocks modern horror trends, including endless remakes and “final chapter” franchises.
