Marlon Wayans first teased the news in an Instagram post Friday, captioning a throwback photo of the women in the first film, along with the eyes emoji and the acronym “SM6″ (for “Scary Movie 6”).

The funnyman — one of the horror parody’s original stars and creators — is reportedly co-writing and producing the movie alongside his brothers Shawn and Keenen and their longtime collaborator Rick Alvarez.

Faris and Hall, who played friends Cindy Campbell and Brenda Meek in the first four films, issued a statement confirming their involvement.

“We can’t wait to bring Brenda and Cindy back to life and be reunited with our great friends Keenen, Shawn and Marlon — three men we’d literally die for (in Brenda’s case, again),” they said.

The new installment marks the first time in 18 years the Wayans brothers are coming together to write an original script for the “Scary Movie” franchise, which grossed nearly $900 million at the box office.

Michael Tiddes, another collaborator who directed them in “A Haunted House” and “A Haunted House 2,” is on board to helm the film, which is set to start production this fall.
