Aug 17 2009 'White Chicks 2' On The Way!
Because the concept of two black guys pretending to be two white women will never not be hilarious:
The Wayans Brothers and Sony are developing a sequel to the 2004 comedy "White Chicks," which will see Marlon and Shawn Wayans reprise their roles as sibling FBI agents posing as a pair of white ladies.Keenen Ivory Wayans is on board to direct the sequel, which all three Wayans are writing. The logline for the new entry is being kept under wraps.
Actually, no, the sequel's logline is not being kept under wraps. The logline is, "The Wayans Brothers come up with another excuse to dress up as pale monsters that vaguely resemble blond women." That will be the logline of White Chicks 3 & 4 also.
Nov 14 2008 'Dance Flick' Trailer Contains This Ungodly Image:
Alright, Wayans, I'll give you this much: you've beaten the parody team of Friedberg and Seltzer. Your decision to include a few jokes, rather than just wadding together a series of references held together only by the glue of random violence, paid off. Congratulations. Unfortunately, the "jokes" include a breakdancing baby, a man spinning on his head so fast that he drills through the floor, and domestic abuse. Calling those jokes is like calling crying "laughing" because it involves noisy convulsing. Really stretching the definition, guys.

Nov 10 2008 'Dance Flick' Poster: Wayans Bros. Answer to 'Disaster Movie'
From MTV Movies Blog, here's a grim portent of our bleak, parody-filled future. At least we can find some solace that, unlike some other parody movie posters, at least this one mostly sticks to the movie genre it's supposedly spoofing--even if one of those "dance movies" is a decade-old internet video of a 3D dancing baby. Nothing is off limits for these guys, no matter how irrelevant. I hear Thomas Edison's 1894 film of Native Americans performing a Buffalo Dance is recreated with Amy Winehouse impersonators to great comic effect.
Nov 29 2007 Wayans Brothers Still Plan to Make Horrible 'Munsters' Movie
If you're at all familiar with the Wayans Brothers, you know that, like a bad parody of a hurricane, or Godzilla disguised as a caucasian woman, they are a destructive force that knows no boundaries. So it comes as no surprise that, after a three-year silence about the project, the Wayans have announced they still have plans to strip The Munsters of whatever kitschy entertainment value it has with a hilarious Wayans reinterpretation of the material.
But what I did find pretty shocking was their explanation for why the film would aim for a PG-13 rating:
The Munsters is going to be PG-13 as well. You know what happened with the rated R thing is that we were doing our rated R comedies and then they started clamping down on kids going into the theater. So kids would still be sneaking into our movie but would be paying to see something else. So none of the box office went to our movie, yet everyone still saw it.
So there you have it. If you were wondering why Little Man, with its rock-solid Looney Tunes premise of a grown crook pretending to be a baby, didn't do better in the box office, know that it has nothing to do with a decline in interest in watching the Wayans dress in goofy costumes and hit each other with things. It's just that the Wayans manufacture a particularly edgy brand of adult humor--a cinematic cigarette--that teens desperately covet and will do anything to have, even at the cost of Wayans profits.

May 15 2007 Wayans Brothers Making More Crap
Rogue Pictures has made a deal for a film starring Marlon Wayans in the title role of Super Bad James Dynomite, an adaptation of a comedic comic book made by the Wayans brood about a blaxploitation anti-hero in the vein of Shaft or Dolemite. The only explanation for this move is that no one from Rogue Pictures has ever seen White Chicks, Little Man, Scary Movie Scary Movie 2, the sitcom The Wayans Bros., or anything else a featuring two or more Wayans, because there is an inherent paradox in having both watched White Chicks and sponsoring the work of the makers of White Chicks. The brain would never let the body act in such a way.
