Scooby-Doo Movie & Moments 2014: New Reboot Film Coming Soon?
Zoinks! Jinkies! And Rooby-roo! Scooby-Doo is getting another live-action reboot film.
It sounds like a head scratcher because the last live-action film of Scooby-Doo and the Mystery gang came out in 2009, so that sounds pretty fast; about five years.
Perhaps not. The last "Spider-man 3" film starring Tobey Maguire was released in 2007, then the rebooted wall-crawler film "The Amazing Spider-Man" starring Andrew Garfield in 2012, was also five years later. This upcoming Scooby-Doo reboot is at its infancy stage, but it appears that it might be happening.
It was announced last year that Warner Bros. was going for an animated version of Scooby-Doo, Variety reported. But Warner Bros. appears to want to explore the live-action "Scooby-Doo" movie once more. The studio, as of now, is in discussions with Randall Green to write the live-action script, and they want to start from the beginning with a fresh new take.
The "Scooby-Doo" reboot is linked to Atlas Entertainment, Charles Roven and Richard Suckle, who produced the 2002 "Scooby-Doo" for Warner Bros., which they later followed it up with "Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed." The first film made $275 million worldwide, while the second one made $180 million, Variety reported.
While the first film was a success, and perhaps raised the attention of Freddie Prinze Jr, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Matthew Lillard and Linda Cardellini, hopefully the studio can replicate similar success. All that is known at this point is that Green, Roven and Suckle are all attached to this project, Deadline reported.
The original Scooby-Doo started out on TV with a 1969 animated series titled "Scooby-Doo, Where Are You?" It was conceived by writers Joe Ruby and Ken Spears, and drawn by artist Iwao Takamoto for Hanna-Barbera's daytime programming, GMA News Online reported. Scooby-Doo is the name of the lovable Great Dane dog who has the uncanny ability to talk in broken English. And Scooby-Doo is also the mascot of the Mystery Gang: Daphne, Fred, Velma, and Shaggy, Scooby-Doo's close friend, who solve mysteries together.
The original series ran from 1969 to 1970, its third season in 1978, along with the many TV and direct-to-DVD animation Scooby-Doo specials through the millennia, as well as various series incarnations, including "Scoody-Doo and Scrappy-Doo" and "The 13 Ghosts of Scoody-Doo." As a result, Scooby-Doo is a globally recognized icon. This year, the cartoon canine will celebrate his 45 years in existence, GMA News Online reported.
Scooby-Doo was originally voiced by Don Messick from 1969-1994, and the late DJ and voice-over actor Casey Kasem voiced Shaggy, Scooby-Doo's longtime friend.
Paws crossed for the successful and speedy return of Scooby-Doo, although with the many animations and live-action versions still going on today, it seems like Scooby-Doo never left.
