Neon Announces Creative Commons SCP Foundation Film, Contrasting With A24's Approach
The studio is capitalizing on backlash against A24, which angered the SCP Wiki community by developing its own SCP film without licensing commitments.

Film studio Neon has announced it is developing a movie based on the SCP Foundation, the collaborative horror fiction project, and says it will release the film under a Creative Commons license as the SCP community requires.
The announcement follows criticism of rival studio A24, which angered members of the SCP Wiki community after announcing its own SCP Foundation film without first contacting the SCP Wiki team or committing to release it under a Creative Commons license, as the project's rules call for.
A Licensing Dispute
The SCP Foundation is built as an open collaborative fiction project whose content is released under Creative Commons licensing, a model that creators within the community expect outside productions to respect when adapting the material.
By publicly committing to the Creative Commons requirement that A24 reportedly did not, Neon appears to be positioning itself favorably with the SCP Foundation's fan community. Further details on Neon's film, including casting, release timeline or specific source material within the SCP canon, were not included in the available report.
