Kenan Thompson Is Michael Jackson in New SCARY MOVIE Trailer

When Marlon Wayans said that Scary Movie would leave no parody stone unturned, he really meant it. The upcoming sixth installment is taking aim at a ton of horror films, like Sinners and Weapons. But one movie that we didn’t see being a part of Scary Movie was Michael, the new biopic starring Michael Jackson’s nephew Jaafar as the King of Pop. Sure, the franchise has poked fun (for better or worse) at the late superstar before, but this is directly tied to this new movie about Michael. In a new Scary Movie trailer, SNL mainstay Kenan Thompson plays Michael Jackson and completely commits. 

We see MJ’s sparkly glove and jacket as well as his black loafers at the beginning of the clip. A watered down version of Billie Jean plays as stickies litter a wall with song titles. The producer says he isn’t Michael because he doesn’t have a monkey, a reference to Bubbles, of course. But Kenan’s Michael Jackson does have a llama. It is a bit hard to tell if this scene will actually be in the movie or if it is just slick promo that’s tied into Michael’s release weekend.

We get more glimpses at Scary Movie, including a parody of Get Out when Chris ends up in the Sunken Place for the first time. The end of the clip goes back to Kenan, who high kicks a man over before poorly moonwalking until he falls down a flight of stairs. Scary Movie will bring its Michael parodies and more to theaters on June 5.
