Marlon Wayans Essentially Making His Own Scary Movie Outside the Scary Studio System

With the Weinstein Company taking his family's prized Scary Movie franchise and handing it to the director of Roll Bounce, Marlon Wayans has revealed plans to strike out on his own and form an all-new parody horror franchise he can leave as a legacy to pass on to future Wayans brothers and their Wayans children's brothers.

Writing with his Scary Movie 2 and White Chicks producer, Rick Alvarez, the youngest of the Wayans clan has crafted a script for a found-footage comedy previously-titled Smart Ass that will now probably have a title more like, say, Supernatural Goings-On, because this is the summary:

From the creators of Scary Movie comes another hilarious horror spoof, a parody of the Paranormal Activity franchise. When newlyweds Malcolm (Marlon Wayans) and Kisha (Essence Atkins) move into their dream house, they quickly find they're not alone. But it's not the house that's haunted, but his wife that is possessed with spirits - or as Malcolm calls it - "relationship baggage." Malcolm hires everyone from a priest to modern day ghost busters to rid her of the demon, determined not to let the evil spirit ruin his marriage... or his sex life for that matter.

Belated spoilers alert: those sentences contained several of the jokes, one of those being that the Marlon Wayans character is horny.
