: Kevin Smith to Write Scary Movie 3, Snipes Gets Doe
: Scary Movie 3 just got a whole lot more comedy credibility — Variety reports that actor-writer-director Kevin Smith is on board to executive-produce and co-write the script for the second sequel (currently subtitled Episode I — Lord of the Brooms).
: He'll be working with three other screenwriters: Brian Lynch, Pat Proft, and Craig Mazin. Two other writers, Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer, were also attached at one point, making this potentially a six-scribe project.
: Director David Zucker (Airplane!, Top Secret!, Ruthless People) will be helming the project.
: Kevin Smith — who has such films as Clerks, Mallrats, Chasing Amy, and Dogma under his belt — told Variety, "It is an honor to be involved with David, one of the creators of Airplane!, which is arguably the funniest movie of all time. Our aim is to make this third in the franchise as funny as that other hysterical third-in-the-franchise flick, The Godfather, Part III."
: Keenen Ivory Wayans and his brothers Shawn and Marlon, who collectively started the franchise with the first two films, are not involved in the third installment and are working on a similar project at rival studio Revolution.
: Scary Movie 3 will start filming in February.
