A24 somehow making an SCP movie without anybody from The SCP Foundation involved
"The SCP Foundation Wiki is not involved with the film in any way," representatives for the online horror collective said of A24's V/H/S/: SCP .
A24 is set to develop a film based on the SCP universe, despite the fact that no members of The SCP Foundation Wiki's guiding group are involved in the project. The news broke via Deadline, with A24 joining the effort to adapt the setting into the V/H/S/ horror franchise alongside Image Nation Studios and Spooky Pictures. However, the Licensing Team for The SCP Foundation Wiki has denied any communication with the filmmakers, and has also called Deadline's claim of "worldwide rights" "incorrect," citing the Creative Commons ShareAlike license that the entire Wiki is released under.
The Licensing Team's statement notes that A24's movie would need to be released without DRM or any effective technological measures to prevent it from being copied, and would not be able to establish any exclusivity with respect to distribution. This poses a major challenge for A24, as the studio may have difficulty complying with the license terms and distributing the film freely.
