The trailer (below) for the Wayans brothers’ project includes many familiar faces from the previous films, with Anna Faris and Regina Hall — who starred in the first four installments — returning alongside Marlon and Shawn Wayans. While the project has been widely called Scary Movie 6, the official title revealed today is simply Scary Movie. This makes sense as the new film is the first Scary Movie in 13 years, which also gives the latest entry plenty of fresh territory to mock. Marlon Wayans has teased the film will spoof IT‘s Pennywise, Get Out, the Terrifier films and, of course, the Scream franchise which — along with the original I Know What You Did Last Summer — inspired the first film. This might be the first time a film opens in theaters attached to a trailer for a another movie mocking its franchise.

The film co-stars Jon Abrahams, Lochlyn Munro, Cheri Oteri, Dave Sheridan, Damon Wayans Jr., Anthony Anderson and Chris Elliott. The first Scary Movie dropped in 2000 and was directed by Keenen Ivory Wayans. Several sequels quickly followed. After a seven year break, the release of the widely derided Scary Movie 5 effectively killed the franchise for more than a decade (while Scary Movie 3 is widely considered the franchise’s best). Scary Movie opens in theaters June 12.
