The SCP Foundation's official English Wiki says it was not consulted by the filmmakers, and A24 says its rights apply only to this V/H/S entry and do not claim exclusivity over the SCP setting.

A24 is set to co-produce and distribute "V/H/S: SCP," a film based on the SCP Foundation, as the next entry in the V/H/S horror anthology series. A theatrical release is planned for 2027. Spooky Pictures and Image Nation Studios are producing. Spooky Pictures is led by Roy Lee and Steven Schneider, and Josh Goldbloom and Michael Schreiber, who worked on V/H/S/94 and V/H/S/99, are also involved. Ben Ross, CEO of Image Nation Studios, is among the executive producers, along with Brad Miska, Rami Yasin and Jakob Pollack. Story details are being kept under wraps.

The project drew a dispute over rights. On September 11, the SCP Foundation's official English Wiki posted a statement saying it had received no consultation or contact from the filmmakers and that attempts to reach them went unanswered. The Wiki argued that A24 holds no exclusive rights to SCP content, citing the CC BY-SA license under which SCP works are published.

On September 13, an A24 public relations representative told Kotaku that the worldwide rights apply only to this V/H/S entry and do not claim exclusivity over the SCP setting. The disagreement centers on whether a CC BY-SA license can coexist with a theatrical release: if the film is produced under that license, third parties could legally distribute copies of it without paying the rights holders.

NEON Plans SCP Foundation Anthology Film With CC BY-SA Compliance

NEON has announced it will produce an anthology film based on the SCP Foundation, with a theatrical release set for 2027. The American independent company, founded in 2017, says it will release the film and related materials under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license that governs the SCP Foundation Wiki. According to the English-language Wiki's staff, NEON first made contact in early September 2026 and stated it wanted to comply with the license in both its terms and its spirit. The Wiki provided licensing advice but is not involved in the screenplay or production, and it will not receive financial benefits from NEON. The film is planned to focus on emerging filmmakers. Cast, directors, and which specific SCP works will be adapted are not known. This project is separate from the SCP-based film A24 is pursuing.
