Scary Movie Franchise to Be Rebooted?

Source:  CinemaBlend
Scary Movie Franchise to Be Rebooted?It seems that not even spoofs are immune from remakes as a popular spoof series will be restarted. According to CinemaBlend, The Weinstein Co. and Dimension Films will be remaking their Scary Movie franchise with the next film.

It was said that the film would feature all new characters, which would likely mean we won't see Anna Faris in the film, which makes sense seeing as she told Fangoria recently that, "I really have no answer," as to when a fifth Scary Movie film would come out.

It was also reported that this reboot wouldn't be seen for some time, as they want to do the film after Scream 4.

Hollywood should reboot its current mindset. Seriously, as many have already stated, nobody gives two shits about crappy spoof films, which usually parodies sub-par horror films. I refused to see Scary Movie 4, Date Movie, Superhero Movie and Epic Movie, and I will most definitely "skip" (to put it lightly) the crock of shit, that desperate, forlorn procures are brewing. I am still recovering from the first three.

Epic Fail; and then some.

Rebooting a franchise no one really cares about... waste of time anyone? This is just dumb.

It's not a remake. Reboot and remake are different things...most of the time. In this case, they're replacing all the characters and it will most likely make fun of films that this franchise hasn't spoofed yet...so it's a reboot. I don't care if another one of these movies is ever made, but...it's not a remake.

Oh, and yes, I know Zucker produced Superhero Movie.

This franchise is pretty top notch. The first one was a great homage to the likes of Zucker, Abrahams, and Proft. The second one is pretty good too. Then Zucker himself came aboard, and delivered funny, albeit different, humor from the first two. The fourth had some good moments, but overall wasn't very good.

The only problem that really stemmed from the Scary Movie series is the "Insert Genre Here" Movie that had nothing to do with the Wayans or the Zucker group. By that I mean Epic Movie, Disaster Movie, Date Movie, Superhero Movie, and Meet The Spartans... all some of the worst films ever made.

The whole idea of "rebooting this franchise" is so damn stupid!!..

The only ones that were funny were Part 1 and 2...With Anna Farris and the Waynes Brothers..after that they were wack!..so doing this whole thing again iss sooooo damn DUMB!!!

By "reboot" I hope they mean "kill everyone involved and burn the prints, then never make another spoof movie on pain of drowning/electrocution."

These films are crimes against humanity.
