Neon Developing Their Own SCP Foundation Project After A24 Movie Draws Backlash
The studio will release the film under the Creative Commons CC BY-SA license and says it has been working with the SCP Wiki team.
- Neon announced Wednesday that it will produce an anthology feature film based on the SCP Foundation, focusing on emerging filmmakers to adapt the collaborative online horror project's expansive lore for a 2027 theatrical release.
- The SCP Foundation Wiki team denounced A24's competing anthology film after the studio failed to consult them or clarify licensing. The team stated they had no communication with A24's filmmakers regarding the project.
- Unlike its competitor, Neon consulted the SCP Foundation Wiki team to align with their mission and licensing guidelines. The studio pledged to release the film under the Creative Commons ShareAlike license, allowing creators to adapt the work.
- The SCP Foundation Wiki Licensing Team praised Neon's "excellent communication" and commitment to the project's collaborative spirit. The open-source license ensures Neon does not permanently control the film, distinguishing its approach from typical studio exclusivity.
- This project marks the latest industry effort to adapt viral internet horror, following the success of Kane Parsons' "Backrooms." Other studios pursue similar projects like "Siren Head," as Hollywood increasingly looks to online creators for feature films.
