Marlon Wayans is teaming up with the creators of his Haunted House franchise to make a Fifty Shades of Grey parody called Fifty Shades of Black.
Wayans will star in the spoof movie and has signed on to write alongside producer Rick Alvarez. Mike Tiddes will direct.
“We’re excited to pair up once again with Marlon, Rick and Mike on Fifty Shades of Black, and we look forward to together creating another wholesome slice of entertainment for all the family,” IM Global founder and CEO Stuart Ford said in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter.
IM Global is financing the film, which will have a 2016 release date and start production as soon as possible.
Also in a statement, Wayans called it a “comedic remix” of the film. “Sex and comedy go hand-in-hand,” he continued, adding “It’s amazing when a film of this caliber comes along begging to be made fun of.”
Meanwhile, Fifty Shades of Grey just got the Honest Trailer treatment.
