Scary Movie 6 Promises to Offend Everyone with Crass Humor
LOS ANGELES, CA - In a bold move, the makers of Scary Movie 6 have announced that the upcoming horror-comedy film will target anyone and everyone in its crass humor, leaving no sacred cows unscathed. According to Marlon Wayans, one of the series' creators, the movie aims to be a "no holds barred" equal opportunity offender.
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Wayans explained that the goal is to make everyone laugh, even if it means being insensitive at times. "We just want to make everybody laugh, and we don't care if you're sensitive," he said. "Even sensitive people need to laugh at themselves."
The Scary Movie franchise has long been known for its irreverent humor, often skewering well-known movies like The Exorcist and War of the Worlds. However, earlier installments have also faced criticism for their insensitive jokes, which some viewers felt uncomfortable laughing at.
Wayans acknowledged that not every joke will land with audiences, but argued that comedy has evolved since the series first began. "We're trying to be more inclusive," he said. "We want to make sure everyone's laughing."
The Wayans brothers have a history of pushing boundaries in their comedies, including White Chicks, which made fun of various racial and ethnic groups. While some critics accused them of being insensitive, the movie was also praised for its bold humor.
Industry insiders say that Scary Movie 6 is likely to be a hit with audiences who enjoy irreverent comedy. "The Wayans brothers have always been known for their edgy humor," said film critic Peter Travers. "If they can pull it off again, this movie could be a real crowd-pleaser."
However, not everyone is convinced that the movie's approach will resonate with audiences. "Comedy is subjective, and what one person finds funny another might find off-putting," said comedy writer and producer, Jen Kirkman. "I'm not sure if this approach will work for everyone."
Scary Movie 6 is set to hit theaters in October, with a cast that includes some of the biggest names in comedy. With its bold approach to humor, it's likely to be one of the most talked-about movies of the year.
