Neon says it will make its own SCP Foundation movie and release it under a Creative Commons license, positioning the project as “open-source” after backlash to A24’s plans. Multiple outlets report that A24 had acquired a feature based on the SCP Foundation universe from Spooky Pictures and Image Nation Studios, and announced it earlier this month.
The controversy centers on how A24’s announcement is handled with respect to the SCP community. Sources describe criticism that A24 did not coordinate with the SCP Wiki team and did not commit to releasing the film under a Creative Commons license, which some fans say is required by the SCP Foundation’s rules. That dispute quickly becomes a public-facing drama within the online horror and sci-fi fandom.
Neon’s response is framed as a corrective approach: by adopting a Creative Commons model and portraying the project as openly accessible, Neon aims to align with community expectations. Coverage also situates the episode as an example of studios navigating fan-built intellectual property, where collaboration and licensing choices can affect relationships with established contributor communities.
