AceShowbiz - Excitement in the horror-comedy world is reaching fever pitch as the Wayans brothers announce their long-anticipated return to the "Scary Movie" franchise. After two decades, fans are more than eager to see what the original creators have in store.

The "Scary Movie" series, known for its irreverent parody of popular horror films, is making a triumphant return with the original creators at the helm. Marlon Wayans, who co-wrote and starred in the 2000 hit, confirmed via social media that he and his siblings, Shawn Wayans and Keenen Ivory Wayans, are reviving the beloved franchise. "Last week I said I had a HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT to make well here it is… WE'RE BACK!!!" Marlon proclaimed, much to the delight of fans who have been clamoring for more spooky laughs.

The Wayans brothers were the creative force behind the first two installments of the series, with Marlon portraying the affable Shorty Meeks and Shawn playing the flamboyant Ray Wilkins. Keenen Ivory Wayans brought their vision to life as the director. The siblings departed from the franchise after the second film due to creative differences, handing over the reins to comedy legend David Zucker for subsequent sequels. However, the franchise seemed to lose some of its original charm without the Wayans' unique touch.

"After nearly 20 years, the Wayans brothers are finally going to give the fans what they’ve been asking for... a return to the SCARY MOVIE franchise!" Marlon further elaborated on social media. Adding to the buzz, Deadline has reported that the trio will write and produce the new film alongside Rick Alvarez, a frequent collaborator with Marlon on projects like "Haunted House" and "Fifty Shades of Black". The new movie is slated to film next year and will hit theaters, though no director has been announced yet.

The announcement comes during a time when the horror genre has seen a dynamic shift. Films like "Get Out", "Hereditary" and "A Quiet Place" have redefined horror, giving the Wayans brothers a fresh slate to draw upon for their signature satirical style. From supernatural thrillers like "The Conjuring" to legacy sequels of classics such as Halloween and "The Exorcist", the pool of new and recent material ripe for parody is deeper than ever.

In addition to the cinematic resurgence, Marlon recently spoke out about the contentious exit from the original series on Shannon Sharpe's "Club Shay Shay Podcast". He accused disgraced producer Harvey Weinstein and his brother Bob of an unfair deal regarding "Scary Movie 3", which led to their departure. Despite past grievances, the anticipation surrounding their return is palpable.
