Neon commits SCP anthology to Creative Commons licence after A24 backlash
The studio says its 2027 theatrical project will follow the SCP Wiki’s ShareAlike terms, though Wiki staff will not be involved or endorse the film.
Neon is developing a theatrical horror anthology based on fiction from the collaborative SCP Wiki, with the film expected in 2027. The studio says it contacted the Wiki’s administrators and will release the project under the Creative Commons ShareAlike licence.
The commitment follows criticism of A24, which announced an SCP-based film without first consulting the Wiki team or pledging to use the required licence, according to Engadget. The Wiki’s administrators had warned about licensing restrictions.
Creative Commons ShareAlike requires covered adaptations to be released under the same licence. The administrators welcomed Neon’s communication and commitment, Engadget reported, while the supplied account does not include the licence agreement itself.
The film is not an official or Wiki-endorsed production. Engadget reports that Wiki staff will not be involved and that the organisation will not endorse the project.
Neon’s film is described as a platform for emerging filmmakers and creators from the SCP community. No specific release date or further production details were provided.
