The team behind Scary Movie 6 has released a promotional poster that spoofs the upcoming Michael Jackson biopic, incorporating taglines referencing longstanding child abuse allegations against the singer. The poster features a Ghostface-inspired killer dressed as Jackson with the lines 'Prepare to Hee-Hee' and 'Touching Fans Everywhere.' The biopic Michael arrives in theaters this Friday.
Paramount Pictures will release Scary Movie 6 on June 5, bringing back original stars including Marlon Wayans as Shorty Meeks, Shawn Wayans as Ray Wilkins, Anna Faris as Cindy Campbell, and Regina Hall as Brenda Meeks. The Wayans brothers are writing and producing the film after missing the previous three installments. A teaser trailer dropped on April 22, featuring Saturday Night Live alum Kenan Thompson in a bumbling portrayal of Jackson, the King of Pop. The parody poster mimics promotional art for Lionsgate's Michael, directed by Antoine Fuqua, which debuts Friday and does not address the allegations. Fuqua told New York Magazine he remains unconvinced of Jackson's guilt despite five accusers and Jackson's own comments about sharing his bed with boys. Scary Movie 6 continues the franchise's tradition of celebrity satire amid the buzz around Jackson's life story.
