Neon announced an SCP Foundation film for theaters in 2027 and pledged to release it under the Creative Commons ShareAlike license (CC BY-SA). The studio says it contacted the SCP Foundation Wiki team first, a difference The Verge contrasts with A24's project, which the community criticized for not contacting the wiki or committing to the license the archive requires.
This is not an official film. The Verge notes that no one from the wiki staff is involved in the writing or production, that the group is not being paid, and that the official position is not to endorse projects of this kind.
What the wiki said
In a statement, the SCP Foundation Wiki admin team said: “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.”
Beyond the licensing, there is almost no information about the film. Neon points to a theatrical release in 2027, which The Verge reads as a short cycle and, potentially, a contained budget. The outlet notes that turning a profit on a ShareAlike work is harder, because the license requires derivatives to keep the same terms.
Why it matters to the archive
The SCP Foundation is a collaborative horror universe kept on the wiki under Creative Commons. A feature that respects CC BY-SA can circulate without locking the mythos behind an exclusive contract. That does not make Neon's project canon, and it does not stop A24 from proceeding with its own film. Cast, director, and synopsis for the Neon production have not been announced.
