Hollywood Minute: Scary Movie trailer sparks buzz, Fringe streams free on Pluto TV

Hollywood is buzzing after the release of the first trailer for the new “Scary Movie.”

(CNN)- Hollywood is buzzing after the release of the first trailer for the new “Scary Movie,” and it’s already stirring conversation.

The preview opens with over-the-top gags and sharp-edged satire, including a scene that plays on modern pronoun usage and slasher-movie clichés. The franchise’s signature mix of parody and potentially offensive humor is front and center, signaling a return to the irreverent tone that made the original films box office hits.

The Wayans and friends are back to slice through horror tropes and lampoon pop culture in the latest installment of “Scary Movie,” which is set to hit theaters June 12. The film promises to skewer everything from supernatural thrillers to psychological horror, reviving the franchise’s trademark blend of slapstick and shock value.

For viewers looking for a more serious dive into the unknown, the cult-favorite sci-fi series “Fringe” is finding new life on streaming. All 100 episodes of the series are now available on the free streaming platform Pluto TV. Fans can watch episodes on demand or tune into Pluto’s dedicated sci-fi channel. Originally praised for its mix of science fiction, mystery, and government conspiracy storylines, “Fringe” has maintained a loyal fan base years after its finale.

Meanwhile, Tessa Thompson may be heading back to Netflix for another major project. According to Deadline, the streaming giant has secured the rights to the darkly comedic thriller series “Next Door,” with Thompson attached to both star and produce. She recently took on a similar dual role in the Netflix series “His and Hers,” continuing to expand her presence behind the camera as well as in front of it.

With parody horror returning to theaters, cult sci-fi landing on free streaming, and new thriller projects in development, it’s shaping up to be a busy season in entertainment.
