WB announced plans for a reboot of Scooby Doo just two days after the death of Casey Kasem. I don’t necessarily blame them for not making the connection between the death of the original voice of Shaggy and their movie plans, but I do blame them for REBOOTING SCOOBY DOO and I’m happy to heap on an extra serving of shame just because. Is there any way we can get a law that’s like a copyright law, but instead of protecting the copyright holder, it protects the public by ensuring that the same property can’t get remade more than once in a 20 year period? I think that’d be good.
Warner Bros in the early stages of launching a new Scooby-Doo. The studio made a Raja Gosnell-directed live-action comedy out of the Hanna-Barbera cartoon that starred Freddie Prinze Jr, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Matthew Lillard, Linda Cardellini and Isla Fisher as the young sleuths. The film grossed $268 million worldwide, and Warner Bros and Gosnell made a sequel two years later. Now the studio is starting from scratch, setting Randall Green to craft a new adventure. [Deadline]
How about Scooby DON’T, am I right? (*slide whistle, pulls down pants*) I bet Freddie Prinze Jr. is hoping they’re also rebooting HIS CAREER. (*stands on head, farts into a kazoo*)
TRIVIA: The first Scooby Doo movie was written by James Gunn, who’s currently directing Guardians of the Galaxy for Marvel/Disney. Cool story, huh.
I mean who wouldn’t want a repeat of this masterpiece?

I’m OK with this since it’s a “gritty” reboot… like a cross between Dark Knight and Marmaduke.
It would be “grittier” if Scooby was a cat, because…kitty litter is gritty…get it?

The first one wasn’t that bad. The direction, Gellar (I’m wondering if she insisted Daphne be made “kick-ass”) and Prinze were awful. But the script, production design, Lillard and Cardellini made it way more tolerable than it should have been.
Plus, it had a cool Outkast song.
What’s so crazy about scooby doo is that you know the gang was getting baked in that van, like, 24/7. I mean, think about it. scoobie snacks? more like “the munchies”.not to mention they were always seeing ghosts and running from ghosts. Umm, yea, ya think? Maybe because one of the PRIMARY side effects of smoking weed is hallucinations (not to mention paranoia!)
^ THIS GUY!!!!!! shaggy was a total stoner dude lol, just listen to him talk……..

And internet commenting. You forgot internet commenting.
KNOW YOUR DOPE FIEND. YOUR LIFE MAY DEPEND ON IT! You will not be able to see his eyes because of Tea-Shades, But his knuckles will be white from inner tension and his pants will be crusted with semen from constantly jacking off when he can’t find a rape victim. He will stagger and babble when questioned. He will not respect your badge. The Dope Fiend fears nothing. He will attack, for no reason, with every weapon at his command-including yours. BEWARE. Any officer apprehending a suspected marijuana addict should use all necessary force immediately. One stitch in time (on him) will usually save nine on you. Good luck. – The Chief
reefer madness up in here
Maybe Casey Kasem will come back as a ghost pirate, or even a pirate ghost.
Wait, what, Casey Kasem was married to Nick Tortelli’s wife? Does that also make him eskimo cousins with Danny DeVito and Rhea Pearlman?
