Scary Movie 5 On The Way

Five years since the last Scary Movie film, Dimension Films are keen to resurrect the franchise.

The horror spoof series kicked off in 2000 under the direction of the Wayans brothers, and grossed nearly $300m worldwide.

Since then, we have seen three more films spoofing movies like The Exorcist, The Ring, Signs, Saw, Save The Last Dance and 8 Mile

Dimension Films have signed writers Stephen Leff, John Aboud and Michael Colton to parody more films in Scary Movie 5.

Bloody Disgusting reported that they are also hoping to bring back previous cast members.

Offers have been made to Anthony Anderson and Kevin Hart, who both starred in Scary Movie 3 and 4, and Regina Hall, who starred in all four films, although nothing has been signed.

There is no word on whether David Zucker, who directed the last two films, will return to direct.

A release date has been set for 20 April 2012.
