\n\tEarlier this month, we scooped A24\u2019s acquisition<\/a> of an SCP Foundation<\/a> movie from Spooky Pictures and Image Nation Studios, intended to bring one of the internet\u2019s largest fan-built horror and sci-fi universes to the big screen for the first time.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe announcement ruffled feathers, precipitating a unique form of drama. Within hours, we heard from a group known as the SCP Foundation Wiki Licensing Team, which expressed concerns about the possibility of the studio claiming exclusive rights to a project based on community-generated IP with very specific licensing requirements.<\/p>\n

\n\tNow, Neon<\/a> has countered A24<\/a> with an SCP Foundation project that is expressly taking the group\u2019s concerns into account. Development on this project was in motion before the A24 announcement, we\u2019re told. <\/p>\n

\n\tCreated in 2008, the SCP Wiki is a collaborative speculative fiction website revolving around the SCP Foundation, a secretive organization that secures and contains anomalous or supernatural items and entities to protect humanity as well as the anomalies themselves. Over its nearly two decades of existence and with thousands of contributors, the site has built an engaged, global fanbase and has inspired short films, web series and games.<\/p>\n

\n\tAcknowledging the communal roots of the project, Neon is approaching its SCP Foundation movie as an \u201copen-source horror project\u201d slated for release in theaters against A24\u2019s next year. Who specifically will contribute to Neon\u2019s version, and which will make it to theaters first, is not yet clear.<\/p>\n

\n\tNeon expressed its commitment to releasing its film and related materials under the Creative Commons license CC BY-SA, meaning that they will not permanently control the film. Other creators will be able to copy, share, screen, build on or adapt the film \u2014 even commercially \u2014 under the Creative Commons license, provided that they credit the SCP creators and filmmakers, release their own adaptations under the same license, and avoid claims to an exclusive distribution arrangement.<\/p>\n

\n\tNeon has been in communication the SCP Wiki team to ensure the film\u2019s distribution does not deviate from their mission and licensing guidelines.<\/p>\n

\n\tNews of the rival SCP Foundation movie comes following production wrap on 4 X 4: The Event, rising genre filmmaker Alex Ullom\u2019s second horror film for Neon on the heels of this summer\u2019s It Ends. Other recent and upcoming in-house productions include Osgood Perkins\u2019 The Young People; David Robert Mitchell\u2019s They Follow; Matt Johnson\u2019s The Vice Guide; and Arie and Chuko Esiri\u2019s Clarissa.<\/p>\n

\n\tComing off the release of Na Hong-jin\u2019s Cannes monster flick Hope, Neon\u2019s slate for the rest of the year includes fellow awards candidates like Fjord, Paper Tiger, Artificial and A Place in Hell, among other titles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Earlier this month, we scooped A24\u2019s acquisition of an SCP Foundation movie from Spooky Pictures and Image Nation…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":866464,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[17979,88,23243,365497],"class_list":["post-866463","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-a24","tag-entertainment","tag-neon","tag-scp-foundation"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/866463","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=866463"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/866463\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/866464"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=866463"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=866463"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=866463"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
