“Scary Movie” Getting Rebooted?

— Posted by John Campea

Ok, this one just takes the proverbial cake with stupidity frosting and a creamy center of WTF. I know there are a lot of remakes and reboots… and I’m ok with the idea of them in general… but sometimes things just go too far, and this appears to be one of those instances.

It’s being reported by the folks over at Cinema Blend that the Weinstein Company is planning on rebooting… are you ready for this… Scary Movie. Yes… THAT “Scary Movie”.

I’m one of those guys who has NEVER understood what anyone has ever seen in any of these films. But the fact of the matter is they make money at the box office which means there are people out there willing to go see them. But even with that being the case… how the hell do you “reboot” Scary Movie? And why on earth would anyone want to? These movies suck. But whatever…

The story goes on to say that neither Wayans brothers or Anna Faris would be involved.

So giddy up.

    Is there any point in this? These horrible parody movies don’t mean much without Anna Faris in it. Scary Movie is already 4 movies in, I don’t see why they can’t just make part 5 instead. I’m going to go ahead and declare this as a fail.

    the first scary movie has to be one of the worst comedies in recent film history.
    why reboot garbage?

    I actually enjoyed the first movie when it came out just like I enjoyed the Naked Gun films and Airplane. I hated the sequel cause all it was was the exact same jokes from the first film. Then came the bi-yearly onslaught of “Movie” movies.

    But rebooting Scary Movie to me actually makes sense. Since it is a movie that parody’s the recent horror films of the time, what should you do when all the horror films now are reboots and remakes?

    The first Scary Movie was funny because it hadn’t been done before and it poked fun at how dumb the horror movies had become and how easy it became to kill someone. The series obviously went too far and made sequels… stupid move. But a reboot, c’mon.

    Probably will spoof all the current horror remakes, we will finally see Jason vs Freddy vs Micheal vs Leatherface in unfunny spoof form. WOOHOO!
