The battle for the SCP Foundation is officially a two-studio war. Neon is developing an anthology movie based on the community-driven horror project, positioning it as an open-source alternative to A24's V/H/S: SCP.
The difference is the license. Neon will release the film and all related materials under the Creative Commons CC BY-SA license, meaning anyone can copy, remix or reuse the work as long as they credit the creators and share derivatives under the same terms. The SCP Wiki team confirmed it has been in communication with Neon and praised the license commitment, while clarifying it does not formally endorse or participate in studio productions.
The move follows real backlash to A24's project, which the Wiki team publicly denounced, saying the studio never contacted them and "does not and cannot have any exclusive rights to anything related to the SCP Foundation." Neon's film is a separate project, planned for a 2027 theatrical release with a focus on emerging filmmakers.
Key facts:
- Neon developing an SCP Foundation anthology film, targeting 2027 theatrical release
- Film and materials released under Creative Commons CC BY-SA license
- Separate from A24's V/H/S: SCP with Spooky Pictures and Image Nation
- SCP Wiki team in communication with Neon; denounced A24's project
- Focus on platforming emerging filmmakers
Why this matters: This is what happens when a fan community has real leverage. The SCP Wiki's Creative Commons license means no studio can own the lore, and Neon's entire pitch is respecting that. For actors, the takeaway is the emerging-filmmaker angle: an anthology built to platform new directors is a casting net thrown wide. The next horror breakout could come from either of these films, and smart actors are already paying attention to who's directing the segments.
