Seeing an easy PR win, Neon is cashing in by announcing it’s making its own SCP movie\. But unlike A24, it proactively reached out to the SCP Foundation Wiki team and has pledged to release it under the Creative Commons ShareAlike \(CC BY\-SA\) license\.
This is not an “official” SCP film\. None of the wiki’s staff is involved in the writing or production, it is not receiving compensation, and the team’s official position is not to endorse such projects\.
Other than the licensing details, there is almost no information about the upcoming film\. Neon says it will be released theatrically in 2027, suggesting that this will be a quick turnaround, potentially low\-budget affair\. That’s not shocking considering the challenges of making a profit on a film made under a ShareAlike license\.
In a statement, the SCP Foundation Wiki admin team said that, “The staff of the SCP Foundation Wiki and our community appreciate NEON’s excellent communication and commitment to following the requirements of our license as well as the spirit of collaboration at the core of the SCP Foundation project\.“

A24's upcoming SCP Foundation film has ignited backlash from the SCP community over lack of engagement and Creative Commons licensing conflicts, highlighting challenges in adapting internet-born properties for commercial cinema.
A24 faces backlash from fans after announcing a $75 million AI research partnership with Google DeepMind to develop new filmmaking tools, seen as contradictory to the studio's hit film 'Backrooms' which critiques generative AI.
A filmmaker is suing Netflix after a stolen unencrypted drive containing his unreleased $45M Nicolas Cage movie was lost from Netflix's office, claiming negligence and demanding $112.5M in damages. Netflix disputes liability, alleging the production company failed to encrypt the drive and is trying to extort money.
OpenAI shut down development of its Sora video generator, derailing the $30M AI-animated feature 'Critterz' just before its Cannes premiere, highlighting the dependency risks of AI filmmaking.
Sony Music Publishing and Warner Chappell have sued Anthropic for allegedly conducting a 'brazen campaign' of illegal torrenting and scraping to train its AI model Claude with copyrighted works, marking another major intellectual property lawsuit in the AI industry.
