Last week, Marlon Wayans snuck into a movie theater and recorded himself watching the Scary Movie 6 trailer at the beginning of Scream 7. But it was not available to watch anywhere else but in movie theaters.
However, that changed this morning because Paramount Pictures posted it online. Forget the Monday blues, this trailer will make you feel alive as you watch other people get killed.
Twenty-six years after outrunning a suspiciously familiar masked killer (“Ghostface”), the Core Four are back in the killer’s crosshairs, and no horror movie IP is safe. Marlon Wayans (“Shorty”), Shawn Wayans (“Ray”), Anna Faris (“Cindy”), and Regina Hall (“Brenda”) reunite in Scary Movie alongside returning favorites and fresh faces to slash through reboots, remakes, requels, prequels, sequels, spin-offs, elevated horror, origin stories, anything with the word legacy in it, and every “final chapter” that absolutely isn’t final. Nothing is sacred. No trope survives. Every line gets crossed. The Wayans are back to cancel the Cancel Culture.
So don’t cancel the movie when it hits theaters on June 12th.

Marlon Wayans was on The Jennifer Hudson Show to promote his movie Him, and you know what that means.
That means he had to walk through the Spirit Tunnel to get to the stage. However, no one walks through it; they dance their way through it.
Wayans was no different, especially since the happy crew reworked Bobby Brown’s Every Little Step for him. Even I got my toes tapping. And it got his feet doing a lot more!
Today was a good day for some at CBS and a bad day for others. That is because the network opted not to renew Popps’s House, which stars Damon Wayans and his son Damon Wayans, Jr., and The Summit.
However, they picked up FBI: CIA with Lucifer’s Tom Ellis, Einstein with Criminal Minds’ Matthew Gray Gubler, and DMV with Tim Meadows for next year.
Einstein is brilliant but directionless, the great grandson of Albert Einstein spends his days as a comfortably tenured professor until his bad boy antics land him in trouble with the law and he is pressed into service helping a local police detective solve her most puzzling cases.
DMV is ased on award winning author Katherine Heiny’s short story, a single camera workplace comedy set at the place everyone dreads going most: the DMV. Our quirky and lovable characters are making minimum wage, doing a thankless job where customers are annoyed before they even walk in the door. Good thing they have each other.
That leaves The Equalizer and Queen Latifah waiting by the phone.
UPDATE: CBS is not moving forward with the spinoffs for The Neighborhood and The Equalizer.
In 2004, the Wayans brothers released a little movie called White Chicks. Twenty years later, it is still influencing others!
Yesterday, when The Minnesota Vikings’ Josh Metellus and Camryn Bynum scored an interception against the Atlanta Falcons, the two Safeties did a Safety Dance. Sorry, wrong song. They did the dance that Marlon and Shawn Wayans did in the comedy. And they nailed it.
Talking about nails. The two football players were just six years old when the film came out.
CBS changed things up this season, and they added Poppa’s House and NCIS: Origins to their Monday night schedule.
Today, the network announced that both shows were picked up for a full season.
“NCIS: ORIGINS has added a brilliant new dimension to the NCIS franchise with an origin story of Leroy Jethro Gibbs and a cinematic ’90s experience that features distinct characters, stories and crime solving. POPPA’S HOUSE excels with the dynamic father/son chemistry between Damon and Damon Jr. and their family-inspired stories that bring this comedy to life. These shows fit seamlessly into our Monday night lineup while resonating with viewers on CBS and Paramount+,” said Amy Reisenbach, president of CBS Entertainment.
If you have not seen Poppa’s House, you should check it out. The Wayans bring a lot of funny to comedy which also has smart humor.
The Monday shows join CBS’s other two shows Matlock and Georgie and Mandy’s First Marriage with additional episode orders. Matlock was picked up for a second season, while the Chuck Lorre comedy will be around all of this season.
