Neon Announces Creative Commons SCP Foundation Movie, Contrasting A24
Neon is making an SCP Foundation film under a Creative Commons license, after A24 faced criticism for not contacting the SCP Wiki or committing to the required license.
Neon has announced it is developing a film based on the SCP Foundation, committing to release it under a Creative Commons license. The move follows criticism of A24, which announced its own SCP film but reportedly did not contact the SCP Wiki team or commit to the license required by the community.
The SCP Foundation is a collaborative writing project that operates under Creative Commons, allowing free use and adaptation with attribution. A24's announcement upset many in the horror community because it appeared to ignore these requirements.
Neon's announcement is seen as a public relations win, as it directly addresses the concerns raised by fans. The Verge reports that Neon is "cashing in" on the situation by positioning itself as respectful of the community's rules.
Details about the film's plot, cast, or release date have not been announced. It is also unclear whether Neon has formally partnered with the SCP Wiki team.
