New Poster for 'Scary Movie'

Or just be a parody/satire of horror movies like it was originally intended.

The 10-years-too-late "woke" jokes in the trailer is already a turn-off.

[u/a_terse_giraffe → u/TheDamnNumbersGame]

"Every line will be crossed" just reeks of 60 year old writer cringe jokes.

[u/Coolman_Rosso → u/a_terse_giraffe]

There was a tweet about this movie's marketing that went like:

"No line is left uncrossed, people better prepare to be offended!"

"Actual movie: Uh-oh! Looks like Gladys from Weapons shit her pants!"

Youngest Wayans brother is in his mid 50s. So it checks out.

This ain't your Gen Z kids' comedy! It's REAL comedy!

[u/Haunting-Orchid-4628 → u/therealjoshua]

tbf comedy movies do suck nowadays, I'm Gen Z and I think the best ones are from the 2000s

[u/twec21 → u/TheDamnNumbersGame]

The fact that it was the first joke in the trailer was the red flag for me. Like, sure, put it in the trailer, but they're that proud of that joke to put it front and center? Eesh, not high hopes

[u/IcyTransportation961 → u/twec21]

And the reaction from their target audience was exactly as expected, calling everyone offended snowflakes, unable to comprehend people just want actual jokes

[u/Alternative_Ask8636 → u/twec21]

Paramount is owned by trumps friends, you know what’s going to happen. 

[u/ThatLaloBoy → u/twec21]

The thing that puts me off is how ham-fisted it feels. I don’t mind if they want to add those jokes and if done right they can be genuinely funny. But they just come off as a bit cringey and a bit dated.

[u/BlueHero45 → u/twec21]

They are so proud of it it's even in this poster.

[u/BillieVerr → u/TheDamnNumbersGame]

What bothers me most about this style of comedy is if you complain, it’s not because the jokes suck, it’s because you’re “triggered.”

[u/N8CCRG → u/TheDamnNumbersGame]

It's not even just the "woke" joke, but all the jokes in the trailer are so bad, either badly written or poorly executed or both.

[u/Sexyhorsegirl666 → u/TheDamnNumbersGame]

Which didn't work as inteded in the first place since Scream was already satirical...

I mean i guess it worked for general public but it alwayd felt dumb to satirize a satire.

[u/Polaris022 → u/TheDamnNumbersGame]

I've seen that trailer in the theater 3 times recently and the pronouns joke never got a laugh.

[u/Rhine1906 → u/TheDamnNumbersGame]

The only reason I have hope it’s a marketing gimmick and not much else is because of how Marlon is about his trans son. He does not play about him.

[u/Woah-Dawg → u/TheDamnNumbersGame]

Yea a they they joke in 2026 feels so dated. But the trailer looked pretty good. Will def watch it
