  1. > During an appearance on Club Shay Shay Wednesday, Wayans said that Miramax gave his family a “crappy” deal for the first installment, which ultimately led to the downfall of their relationship as the sequels progressed; by the time of Scary Movie 3, Miramax hired the Zucker brothers to direct the film based on ideas from the Wayans brothers. On Wednesday, Wayans said the company did this without their knowledge.

    > “We [went] on, made our money. White Chicks made another classic. Little Man made another classic. We do our thing,” Wayans said, but noted he should have sued Weinstein and his company for stealing their ideas.

    > “Sometimes you ain’t gotta do nothing because God’s gonna do it all — God’s revenge,” Wayans said. “When God come for you, you gotta trust God. You don’t retaliate, vengeance is mine. They took Miramax, his company… Then they had the Weinstein Co. and then all this stuff started going down with the rape allegations and they took that company too.”

  3. I got my hopes up when I read “Harvey Weinstein’s demise”

  4. God is definitely allowing a large number of woke to be harassed and sexually assaulted so that the producers of the Scary Movie parody film franchise can feel better 20 years after the fact. Absolutely, this is in line with the Judeo-Christian interpretation of the divine.

  5. Hopefully he can get the rights back we need 1 more scary movie from them

  6. I feel like it was god’s revenge for a lot of other things too

  7. Miramax made a mint off both *Scream* & *Scary Movie* franchise(s) — Dimensions was still fiscally buoyant, but Harvey’s Miramax was underwater and facing a nuclear-audit (by Disney); that would’ve absolutely resulted in Disney — suspending HW’s administration — installing their own people on-site (at Miramax) …if not for Kevin Williamson & the Wayans’ properties.

    NM Dimensions owned/produced both IPs, Miramax really shouldn’t have been allowed to freely loot his brother’s dividends; but Bob W always never complained about swallowing down Harvey’s oversized turd burgers …to this day.

  8. Glad god chose him, his massive movie and success to focus on.
