David Zucker has come aboard to direct Dimension Films' "Scary Movie 3: Episode I -- Lord of the Brooms." The project, the third installment of the spoof franchise, is expected to go into production in March. Zucker is no stranger to spoofs, having helmed such parody features as "Airplane!" "Top Secret!" "The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad!" and its sequel "The Naked Gun 2 1/2: The Smell of Fear." "Scary 3" is written by Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer, who co-wrote the original "Scary Movie" but were not involved in the sequel. Brothers Keenen Ivory, Shawn and Marlon Wayans, who were involved in the first two "Scary" projects, will not be part of "Scary 3." The third installment spoofs such fantasy and science fiction film franchises as "Harry Potter," "The Lord of the Rings" and "Star Wars."
