Scooby Doo is back! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Not content with rebooting the Batman franchise, Warner Bros are rewinding back time on the Scooby Gang.

Brian Levant (“The Flintstones in Viva Rock Vegas”, “Are We There Yet?”) has signed to direct a new “Scooby Doo” film – a telemovie prequel to the two “Scooby Doo” films of previous years.

Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze Jr will be sitting this one out. A nation-wide casting call is now underway to find the new Fred, Daphne, Velma and Shaggy.

In this new pic, Daphne’s a mystery writer inspired by Murder She Wrote; Fred’s a football player with a penchant for jigsaw puzzles who decides to try out for the school paper, his idol is footballer turned supreme court justice Bryan ‘Whizzer’ White; Shaggy is as daft as ever and not doing so well at school; and Velma (who I hear might be Asian in the new film) is a teen U.S ambassador for World Hunger.
Assumingly, they all apply for jobs at the school paper – for different reasons – and end up solving their first mystery…. Whatever that may be.

If there’s one thing the “Scooby Doo” films got right is the cast: Matthew Lillard and Linda Cardellini, as Shaggy and Velma, respectively, were perfect. Here’s hoping Warners find themselves some satisfactory surrogates…

Production begins in August in Vancouver.

really? NONE of the cast is returning? that sux!

like the article said, every actor fit the character to a t. but i'm willing to give the "experts" a chance and see who they find.

Let's hope it is not ABC, TBS might be a good fit.

Wow!

I really didn't think they could ever replace the powerhouse acting team that was Freddie Prinze Jr. and Sarah Michelle Gellar!

You know what, I'm too tired and drunk to carry on the whole sarcastic thing I do...

Why oh why are they continuing to do this live action Scooby Doo crap?

Stop this **** once and for all.

Let it go.

No a movie, my guess direct to video, unless it is picked up by a network or something.
