SCP Wiki Says It Was Not Consulted On A24's V/H/S: SCP Film

The Wiki's statement frames the dispute as a licensing problem, arguing that A24 and Spooky Pictures hold no exclusive rights to the collectively written SCP material, so the films' legal footing, not its production schedule, is now the open question.

SCP Wiki Says It Was Not Consulted On A24's V/H/S: SCP Film

A24 will co-produce and distribute "V/H/S: SCP," a found-footage horror film built on the SCP Foundation setting, with release planned for 2027, according to Deadline. The SCP Foundation Wiki then published a statement saying its staff and writers received no consultation or contact from the filmmakers, and that repeated attempts to reach them have failed. The Wiki says it has no involvement with the film.

The project was announced in July, with Spooky Pictures and Image Nation Studios producing and executive producers Brad Miska, Ben Ross, Rami Yasin and Jakob Pollack attached. Deadline reported A24's involvement as co-producer and distributor. The SCP Foundation Wiki's statement says its operators have tried to contact the filmmakers and could not reach them, leaving the Wiki with no involvement in the film as reported. The Wiki also argues that A24 and Spooky Pictures hold no exclusive rights to its content.
