Movie Poster and Trailer Released for Scary Movie 5. Try to Contain Your Excitement.

I know you all just couldn’t’ wait for the next installment of Scary Movie.  Can you believe they are actually up to number 5?  I stopped watching after 2, but now I’m back.  The trailer looks funny enough but the rumors of Charlie Sheen and Lindsay Lohan have put this movie on a lot of people’s radars.    Sheen and Lohan have a scene when they appear in the bed with each other.  Apparently filming that scene somehow led to Sheen breaking Lindsay off $100K.

The last installment in the “Scary Movie” franchise was in 2006.  This leaves 7 years of pop culture for the movie to feast on.  Just some of S5’s targets to parody in this film are:

  • Inception
  • Black Swan
  • The Hunger Games
  • Mama
  • Rise of the Planet of the Apes,
  • Honey Boo Boo

…..just to name a few.

The stars are also lined up.  In the trailer you will see Sheen and Lohan as well as Kat Williams, but that is just a start.  The film will also include Kendra Wilkinson, Heather Locklear, Mike Tyson, Jasmine Guy and Real Housewives of Atlanta’s Sheree Whitfield.  I guess I use the term “Star” loosely.

Collectively the four previous Scary Movie have grossed over $818 million, just in case you were wondering how they can justify a 5th.  None of the previous films had a budget over $45,000, with the first one costing just $19,000 to make.  That’s just good business.

The film is scheduled to be released on April 19, 2013.

Here is the trailer.
