SCOOBY DOO is going to suck so hard its lips will have friction burns!
On November 16th, 2000... I lost my mind with anger and frustration. I fumed and vomitted forth all of my inner fears about Matt Lillard and Freddie Prinze Jr and making SCOOBY DOO the right way. (CLICK HERE TO READ ALL THAT) Well, now we have something tangible to scream about... Something that we can point to and scream "WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON WITH THIS THING?!?!?!?"
Below you will find a link to the Access Hollywood piece of fluff that gives us our first look at the characters in costume. While Sarah Michelle Gellar looks like some sort of fetish dream of Daphne... Freddie Prinze Jr is wearing what looks to be the worst wig in the history of mankind. Look at how he seems to be portraying the 90lb weakling version of Fred. There is no confidence in that face, and if you look at those cold dead eyes of his, you can tell... instantly that there is no soul... Hell the Hanna Barbara ink and paint department put more life into the cel's eyes than Freddie has.
Then there is Velma... She has the right costume, but again... THE WORST FEMALE WIG EVER! And by the way, if those are not wigs, then Christ on a cross, somebody is a sick and twisted hair dresser. Meanwhile in the footage, the Warner EPK (electronic press kit) folks have wisely chosen to not show the face of the beast... the wide mouthed jackal... MATT LILLARD as Shaggy... but even from behind, I could tell I had an unreasonable amount of hatred being thrown in his general direction.
Also, is it just me, or do those clothes not look right with those backgrounds? Ya see... this is what Bryan Singer was talking about with the costumes in X-MEN... The costumes have to look like they are a part of that world, and here... against that building with those cars... They look like cut-outs. Ok, so we'll be looking at tomorrow's full report, but till then... This is Harry telling you to beware Freddie Lillard and Matt Prinze Jr! The scariest pair ever to team upon the screen. Where is the Muppet Hook when you most need it?!?!?!?
It's a 2MB 320x240 :22 QuickTime file of the promo at the end of today's
Access Hollywood for their on-set Scooby report which will air tomorrow.P.S.: Thanks to ROBOGEEK for digitizing this.

You can see Matt Lillard a little, and it ain't pretty
by benjamin horne
And why did they have to de-hottify Linda Cardellini? It looks like she's fucking pregnant or something.
-
Is anybody else wishing that Freddie Prinze Jr. would follow a little further in his father's footsteps? It begs the question - if you could go back in time, knowing all of the horrible flicks this kid has starred in, would you be justified in a little infanticide?
-
Why does everybody seem to think that Freddy Prinze Jr. is still a big teen hook? He had one major hit-and that is it. His last two movies flopped pretty badly. Boys and Girls being one of the shittier experiences in my moviegoing life, was certainly no hit. And I can't even recall the title of his newest movie, probably because I have no interest combined with the lack of hype and box office lines. How many more shit movies will we endure when someone realizes his name is not worth what was thought previously. And it's a real kick in the teeth that they would cast him in this part that requires the complete opposite of what he can provide, that along with a no doubt shitty script to tarnish a fine franchise, if you want to call it that.
-
ok, so Freddie Prinze Jr is a stupid looking dork. However everything and everyone else looks ok. It isn't like Shaggy can look cool with black leather nor the mystery machine be a pimp mobile
-
Now why are you getting so bent? Dont the actors look like theyre supposed too? Its only Scooby Doo and they do resemble characters. And why would you determine how it will end up by judging it by a few seconds of raw footage on Access Hollywood? While its not as foolish as proclaiming how cool the "transformer" movie will be by looking at a photoshopped toy pic pasted on a street scene...its still pretty silly.
-
high art. This is going to be reeealllyy bad.
-
Im no big Scooby Doo fan. I love the Mystery Machine ! And i enjoyed Zombie Island, which I thought would have been a great stort to put on live action. Anyway for now im only relunctant to Freddy Prinze Jr, he is definitaly wrong, too thin and not enough charisma. I dont know the actor who plays Shaggy so i cant judge him but the girls seems fine. They seems to be in the cartoon spirit, a bit more than that Jr guy.
Well, another beautiful opportunity missed by those who have the dollar sign printed on their hearts and dont know what really makes the moviegoers go to see movies, the spirit. -
If the movie is supposed to look like it takes place in the 90s, then, yeah, it does look odd in the "Brady Bunch" sorta way. But if the movie takes place in the 70s - I think Harry is letting his emotions formulate opinions since that whole thing was so, so, so short.
Remember Dick Tracy? They actually made Dick's yellow jacket look like it belonged in that movie because they recreated the entire world as it was in the cartoon. -
Very bad.
-
What's all this crap about doing Scooby Doo "the right way?" Friggin' Hanna-Barbera never did it "the right way!" The cartoon sucked from day one, and only got worse. (I didn't even like it much as a kid when it first came out.) Yeah, they look like cutouts--know why? Because they ARE cutouts!! Even for cartoon characters, they were the most 2-dimensional bunch on the planet. There is NO WAY to violate the artistic integrity of Scooby Doo, because there was no integrity to begin with! Geez, this is NOT Shakespeare, folks. Even in the inconsequential world of pop culture there are more important things to get your Underoos in a twist over. A little perspective, please!
-
Relax, people -- sure, the footage looks cheesy, but why don't we stop for a moment...collect our breaths, go into meditation pose, and collectively remind ourselves of what this movie is adapting...are you ready? Ohmmmm....SCOOBY FREAKING DOO!!!! Guys, this is not Hamlet. It's not even Superfriends. We're talking about a film version of what is arguably one of the top five MOST INSIPID, BADLY WRITTEN, BADLY ANIMATED SHOWS IN THE HISTORY OF TELEVISED ANIMATION! What the F are you expecting? Princess Mononoke? From what I can tell from the clip, this movie's going to replicate the spirit of the original better than any live-action adaptation I've seen to date. It will no doubt lovingly recreate every ounce of the stupidity and lack of imagination that characterized the original. I don't mean to piss on anyone's nostalgia trip, but let's not confuse nostalgia with quality. The original was shit, so why should anyone be surprised, much less outraged, that the movie version will be shit?
-
OK...so FP Jr. does look stupid... so what?.. I doubt he'll be the main focus of the film anyways. If the movie is in anyway loyal to the cartoon we all know that Shaggy and Scooby will be the main characters. Oh! and personally I don't think that Mat Lillard is that bad a choice at all. FLAME ON!!!... I don't care! ... I guess only time will tell. I could be VERY wrong but atleast give it the benefit of the doubt.
-
Freddie Prinze Jr. looks like a fucking woman. This is the Battlefield Earth of 2001. All traces of this movie should be piled up and burnt.

Message to the Man : Stop making stupid movies!

George Lucas is a hack and that is the silliest damn wig on Fred
by basic alias
I mean, come on! Let's face it, some things were not meant to be made live-action and this is one of them! The reason they could get away with the ugly clothes in the cartoons was that they didn't have to deal with reality. Ever! The Scooby gang never looked or acted like real kids in the 70s, they were just bad caricatures and cheap stereotypes drawn up by middle-aged cartoonists who either couldn't be bothered to go out and talk to real kids or were forced to dumb things down. So now Gellar and company are stuck looking like they just walked out of a high school play. Man... so out of place. Maybe we'll get lucky and they'll be beaten to death by the cast of That 70's Show. Now there's something I'd pay to see.
-
Why was this inane project ever given a green light? Someone needs to have their head rolled over this one, yes? Did not Horrywood learn from Moose and Squirrel fiasco?
-
I have a picture that was posted here about 10 months ago. I look at it whenever I need a laugh. Wanna know what it is? It's the pic of John Travolta and Barry Pepper from Battlefield Earth ... you know, the one with the boots? Well, the image of Freddie Prinze is almost as funny. Thanks go out to whoever is making this film!!! I can't wait to laugh my ass off when I see it! This looks so lame. Wasn't Fred supposed to be a good looking stud? Why does Prinze's hair look so idiotic???

Is it me or is harry making a big deal about scooby doo?
by the tao of joe
The show's characters are all woorden, except for shaggy, so why not hire wooden actors to play the roles. The cartoon never really offered anything new as far as cartoons go. It was nothing more than an animated version of Hardy Boys short films walt disney made a long time ago. with a dog who becomes super powerful after consuming a particular kind of food. The clues used to solve the mysteries were far fetched.
After Tom and Jerry, Hanna Barbera animation had nothing but an entire stable of characters who ripped off other television shows. Its not until recently that they are bringing something new to the forum. A live action movie version of scooby doo is like an animated series of smith's clerks- a bad idea over all, and we will all be lucky if this isnt the worst movie of the year. I understand why he hates freddie, but why does Harry hate Mathew Lillard? HE was good in slc punk. He carried the whole film on his shoulders. If a man can see the talents of Jered Leto, certainly there is room in his heart for Matt Lillard -
Its Scooby Doo here people, not Citizen Kane. I cannot get my head around why you guys all have such a hard on for this project. I grew up watching it too, doesnt mean I am losing sleep because matt lidiard got the part as shaggy.

by superninja
You should've bailed when you could SMG...even a lawsuit would've cost you less than this! Freddie Printz looks like a full-on idiot. Velma looks too waifish and yes, Harry, from the back Lillard looks like some annoying patent "stoner guy". I would've prefered a hyper-real movie version. Even SMG isn't believable as Daphne. This could be hilariously, deliciously bad.
-
Feb 28, 2001 4:47:28 PM CST
Yes the characters were wooden and the story were mad-libs.
by superninja
That's the point! You don't get a REAL block of wood to play a block of wood....you get a competent actor with good timing and a sense of irony about him to play the character. There is absolutely NO reason to cast Printz in a character that requires him to 1) be a jock and 2) be a leader. He has neither of those qualities. Forget that we're even talking about Scooby Doo here...what about these cardboard characters they're playing? Freddie=jock, Daphne=supermodel, Velma=nerd, Shaggy=stoner. Prinz is not a jock, Gellar is not a supermodel, and the other two actors I know nothing about, but the "names" are not even right for the parts, cliched or no.

That's an eighties joke.

this is going to be good. i like the old cartons of the snopy caractor. he makes me laff. i wish i was going to be in it, too. i like the shaggy as well, too.i never new the radio guy did the voice of shag6y. that maks me want to se it better now.
-
As someone else noted, Freddie Prinze Jr. has his short hair dyed blond for the role. Since the movie reportedly concerns a reunion of the gang years after their initial mystery solvings, (much like the direct-to-video "Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island"), this has to be a flashback from the good old days. I expect the Scooby gang will have a more modernized look for the rest of the movie. And with John August polishing the screenplay, it will probably be a fun movie, like his "Charlie's Angels." Dumb maybe, but fun. (Which, for "Scooby-Doo", sounds about right.

OK, i just happened to catch the last few seconds of Access Hollywood.....and...well...ok, first, before i go totally ballistic on that self centered, pretty boy, maggot-ass, piece of flaming donkey dung, RECTAL WART OF THE FACE OF THE WORLD BASTARD CHILD OF LUCIFERIAN DOGMA!!!!!!!....::deep, calming breath:: ahem....well, first, to go off subject a quick second...The Mummy Returns looks like it's gonna be damn fun to see....no, it's not gonna be great, no it wont kick ass...but it'll be one of those cool little movies to take a date to and just have fun, just like the first one was...now that the niceties are over...let's ace out the goods...Sarah Michelle Gellar could pull a good piece o' campy fun from this...and Velma looks pretty decent(aside from her dime-store wig...least i HOPE its a wig..)...now that that's done... I FEAR, DREAD, and COWER with a tinge of uncontrolled HATE!! what could come out of Freddie Prinze Jr.!!! it's the most frightening thing ive ever seen! The man has the acting range of a jar of mayonnaise! And his wig seems to be directly linked to Satan, for the pure purpose of making us hurl!!! NOTHING GOOD HAS EVER COME OUT OF HAVING THAT MAN--NAY!--THAT THING, THOU MOST HORRID STENCH OF A BLOATED DREG AS THE STAR!!! WHEN WILL HOLLYWOOD LEARN?!?! YOU FOOLS!! YOU'LL ALL DREAD THE DAY YOU DENIED MY PROPHECY!!!The horror!! We're all gonna die!!!! ::crawls in a dark corner, and shivers:: mommy....save me......::coughs, stands, bows:: Thank you.

I don't think I've ever seen Sarah Michelle Gellar happier.
by village idiot
Her vibe is screamin' "I am a James Toback-quality actor. What the hell did I let this fool with the wig talk me into? I am in hell;" which, come to think of it, is kind of how I felt watching it.
-
Maybe Harry's mouth-burns are from kissing too much Hollywood ass (monkeybone, spy kidz - which will suck more ass than this limp-dicked Scooby Doo cast)?
Harry's geekery and drooling and posturing (Harry "knows" Hong Kong cinema as well as he knows his own toes - which he hasn't seen in years because of that fat fucking gut) are only less disturbing than his irrational Matt Lillard-phobia.
I think Harry has a big, wet, hard chubby for 'ole Lillard - or maybe Matt knows the secret that Harry killed his own mum and that's why Harry hates 'em?
Regardless - Harry shut the fuck up you fat fucking fuck.
You're a schill and your site has become antiquated compared to superior sites. AICN had its time (the 90s) and it has come to an end.
Harry, many in this world see you as the mother-killing fraud that you are.
Live with the guilt big guy,
Harry Muderkellar -
I really didn't want this movie to suck. I had some secret hopes that the hollywood guys knew what they were doing....but GODDAMN.
Talk about a let down. I should have known.
But I bet all the stupid clueless parents are going to take their kids to see it anyway. And it may eventually make a few bucks to keep the studio execs happy. Un-artistic morons. -
The show wasn't exactly classic stuff. Who thought the movie was going to be some sort of work of genius, or even any good?
On the other hand...Jesus, Harry is right, those are easily the worst costumes and wigs I've seen in a while. This director worked on "Big Momma's House", what was he THINKING? -
Freddy Prinze Jr., or Pee-Wee Herman on crack, gone crazy with peroxide?

by westrum
that one made me puke. one childhood icon after another is being sodomized and thrown to the wolves. jesus, when i first HEARD about the idea of this for a movie, my only thought was that it was possible to get it to work with the right cast and the right treatment of the material. none of that seems to be the case.
by the way, those do look an awful lot like bad wigs. all people involved with this movie will die. they will die oh so painfully. all who like this movie when it comes out will die for their ignorance.
i shouldn't have to get worked up about this shit. -
I can totally understand everything you're saying there. I too have witnessed the cold, heartless, greedy suits destroy each and every childhood cartoon. Not just from animated to live action but quote on quote supposed returns of favorites of mine. For instance the Generation 1 Transformers, Fox kids plans on briging in an abhorently pokemonish version of the Transformers they claim are Generation 1 Transformers. They will call it Robots In Disguise. I've had the misfortune of watching a few clips and to say the least I was unimpressed. The humans look like they came straight from Pokemon or Digimon. THat is why I'm not really surorised about the Scooby Doo movie. I much wouldrather have liked to have seen what Mike Myers came up with. I loved Austin Powers and I think Myers is a very funny guy who could have brought maybe a certain charm to Scooby Doo. As far as the wigs, They look as though an animalcrawled onto their heads and died. Plus Shaggy looks just a tad to beefy from the back. Not like the tall skinny guy he is in the cartoon. I think that Hollywood should kind of stop making these type of movies for awhile. I mean we're being blitzed by all these movies based on animated shows. I mean not only is there Scooby Doo but Josie and the Pussycats is coming out this year as well. I think they should spend their time making one very great live action film based on a cartoon and stop rapid firing all these half baked movies based on cartoons. What's next? Hong Kong Phooey?
-
The Scooby Doo movie will indeed be awful... but this movie shocked me when it turned out that Matthew Lillard actually had at least one great performance in him. (The movie feels like Catcher in the Rye meets Taxi Driver to me.)

Freddie Prinz Jr. looks like a fucking albino! He doesn't have any lips!!!!

by darth taun taun
I remember seeing Freddie Prinze Jr. on TRL once. A girl asked him if he could work with ANY actor, which one it would be. His answer? Not DeNiro, not Pacino, not Jack Nicholson. The actor Freddie Prinze Jr. wanted to work with more than ANY other actor was... Matthew f*cking Lillard. Well, guys, I guess that's why "Wing Commander" kicked so much ass. $50 to anyone who brings me the heads of Freddie Prinze Jr, Matthew Lillard and Pat O'Brien (for even narrating that godawful clip). Stab yourself in the eyes for even considering seeing this movie.
-
I have to say the van looked cool thats it.I thought of another good shaggy too, the lead singer of that One hit album band "The Spin Doctors" they could have gotten him cheap.Please tell me Don Knotts is in this or is he dead and if I recall the only time old Daphine left Freddy's side was with Davy Jones, what a stud?Please show the inside of that van arggggggg!!!DO an A-Team movie, do a Night Rider movie while your at it and finally somebody get Josie to lick my taint you naughty pussycat!!!!!!
-
... was the one Rob Lowe did on Saturday Night Live. He had the voice, the mannerisms and the look down pat.
-
Scooby Doo, so fuckin what. That was a really mediocre cartoon. All those Hanna-Barbera toons have always been shit! Just compare it to any japanese stuff... Yu Yu Hakusho, Shurato, Saint Seiya, Magical Knight Rayearth, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Robotech, Dragon Ball, Dragon Quest, Street Fighter Victory (NOT that crappy american version of Street Fighter)... the USA only started getting their TV cartoons right with X-Men and Batman: The Animated Series.
-
Why are these movies made? It doesn't make any sense at all. Let's start, Freddie Prinze Jr. Uh, when I last saw him on tv he had the beached blond hair, in this clip he's wearing a wig. I assumed he got his hair dyed for the part as required, but nope, ain't the case. Unless what I saw of Freddie in that clip being a stunt double for Barry Manilow, he's wearing a wig. What? Shaggy, played by Matthew Lillard, or as most people know him as, "the friggin' nutcase who helps kill Neve Campbell's mom in Scream". He looks like Shaggy to a key, even though it was a side shot, I have a pretty good idea that it's no doubt faithful. But, see that doesn't exactly make it plausible, either. In short, all four look awful. Though I do call it a bold trick, it's really an all too ballsy move to rest millions of dollars upon. You people have any idea what other good that money could do? I'm dead serious here, no cynicism was meant by that statement. The sad thing is, the movie will still probably make serious dough. Fans of the original cartoon will no doubt flock to this thing, especially Generation X-ers, they'll really not be able to get enough of this shit. For those of us born in the '80s, now in our mid-teens to early twenties imagine if they made a Punky Brewster movie(I'm using Punky as a reference to a strong childhood liking of that decade. And thinking of the '80s no doubt, it's something I still here mentioned in dorm rooms during discussions at 3 AM). We'd probably see a movie that is based from a fad of our childhood.. like Punky. Uhh... right? That's the point I was trying to make, it goes with what numerous talkbackers have said already. This cartoon was something to be laughed at then, and now is no exception, especially when live action is thrown into the mix. This movie looks like shit, and no I'm not pulling an X-Men folks, I'm not like some of you fucking people that mock things months before completion. The costumes in Scooby Doo are really ridiculous. Nuff said. -
Geez get over it.
It's only a movie. Dont go and see it when it comes out. Only worry if you have money invested.
I bet if someone gave you money and said be in a movie I bet all of you would say yes.
Get over it -

you can smell it a mile away because the smell is so repugnant! scooby do is a real piece of elephant size sh*t! those movie critics will have a field day in ripping it to pieces. but then again how could ANY film starring freddie prince jr. get any respect? some cartoons are just not fit to be made into movies, this is a perfect example.
-
Harry, let me formally eat my shit! You were right about this, this will actually suck hardcore...who the fuck was the casting director for this? I mean, come on! This is utter kuso, and this shit will not stand! Daphne looks like a Russian whore, Freddie looks gayer than the gayest Freddie Prinze Jr homo possible...come on, the Khmer Rouge was better than this! Limited Twat is playing...
-
I mean, the only reason he made it is because of his name... However have you ever seen Chico and the Man? It's easy to see why Jr is such a horrible actor since his dad was too. I mean what can you say about a guy whose big catch phrase was "looking gooood!". Jr.'s only fan base are 12 y/o teen-magizine reading girls. The second he was cast as Young Chris Blair in WIng Commader I knew that Chris Roberts had flipped and it was gonna suck big wampa dick. Now they're putting him in Scooby Doo. Sure the show was lame but it's a big part of my childhood... Ugh. Plus doesn't anyone else here think David Arquitee (sp?) would have made the perfect Shaggy? And how is Scooby gonna be done? CGI?

-
What am I looking at?! Shaggy looks like some backwoods-castoff, recessive-gene, child-molesting, pidgeon-fucking, slack-jawed, knuckle-scraping, wife-beating, inbred, genetic throwback... AND THAT'S ONLY THE ONE SHOT FROM BEHIND! My god, if you watch his stride in slow motion, it's like watching some grainy Bigfoot footage. SMG as Daphne? She looks the part, but if you go through the bit where they put her side to side with the cartoon Daphne in SLOW MOTION, she looks like she's trying to wiggle some errant piece of shit from her ass. Either that, or trying to get some onanistic action going on. Fred? Fred looks like he's one of the fifth-string villians or b/g characters from DBZ. You know, he looks like the guy with the austrailian accent that Vegita beat the living shit out of on Namek. Finally... Velma. I'm sorry, but I can't say anything bad about her. I say we go one step beyond! First, get rapper Shaggy to play Shaggy. Second, have J-Lo play Daphne. Keep Freddy as Fred. And for Velma, we put in Margaret Cho. Have Scooby's voice done by G
-
I've never seen popular celebrities THAT embarrassed and nerdy!! Look at the wig on FPJr! And the way SMG can barely look at the camera for more than a second. Freddy has his black eyes (no blue contacts) and a cruddy, cruddy wig mimicking yellow. Searching for strength from his fellow actors, they are all laid out bare and naked for who they are. Unreal. SMG and FPJr will break up soon. Everyone but SMG (who looks great) looks horrible. And Access Hollywood has good clips but is crap quality -one second shots, and that DISTRACTING, constantly twirling logo. Get some ****ing style!
-
Alright, so this is really going to blow chunks of EPIC proportions. Not that I think Scooby Doo is a project to be handled in a revered-upon-most-high fashion (sorry, Harry, but it really was a pretty dumb cartoon to begin with), but I thought I could kind of see Lillard as Shaggy. Then I saw Lillard as Shaggy, sort of, and realized the project is doomed. I think we'll be bombarded by some dumb-ass producer's wet dream of teen casting thrown into a we're-too-darned-conspicuous-it-was-a-cartoon-to-know-how-stupid-this-will-be nightmare of filmmaking gone amuck. Freddie Prinze, Jr. has always been entirely over-rated and underacted every piece of crap he's appeared in (can't think of a single role where I thought he was good). Combine that with a deflated Fred costume with atrocious wig (what's the matter, guys, couldn't cast a real blonde and spare us the torment?) and Fred's toast. As much as I like Sarah Michelle Gellar in "Buffy," her film roles have left me flat (except her "Scream 2" appearance, which was just too short). She doesn't exude the right kind of sex-pot image for Daphne; she's just not statuesque. She's an attractive girl, but she's got the wrong bod for the part. Hope she got paid well, because this'll probably kill off her future in features. I couldn't tell who was playing Velma, but at this stage in the game it really doesn't matter. Someone got it into their head that they had to really do Scooby-Doo like a cartoon, but then didn't really follow through to make it a good one. Maybe they just figured the people who remembered the franchise are older now, and they have to resort to poorly-chosen younger casting to attract a teen audience. Harry's right. Scooby's gonna blow chunks. - SPYder, out.
-
ahhh. If Drew Carey was Fred, it'd be so funny to watch it make fun of the series, and have him getting it on with SMG hardcore for no reason at all. All the actors should act embarrassed the whole way through, that's hilarious if we think it's genuine. just think Drew Carey in a pathetically imitated enlarged suit attempting to look like Fred from Scooby Doo...
-
It's sooo OBVIOUS! Harry is in love with Freddie. Remember Harry's reaction when Mr. Prinze was a potential Spiderman? Aaaaaaw it's so obvious and so sweet.
-
yesterday this will suck big time they should have updated it scratched the old costumes now it looks like some bad saturday night live skit hopefully this scene is a flashback and the scoob gang looks better than this
-
The cartoon is basically a who-dunnit.
you don't find out who the villain "really" is until the last 30 seconds or so.
In the case of this film the entire world is going to know "who the villain really is" before they even step into the theatre.
"oh gosh its Rowen Atkinson who'd a thunk it?!?!"
Its going to be like going into a trailer for the empire strikes back to be faced with darth vader saying "HI! I'm Darth and in this film, I'll be playing Lukes dad!"
Lupe

and that the background blended in with those Gaudy potty mouth SISTAS and their Ghetto Fabulous outfits...and that ULA_LA's hot orange vinyl lovesuit on Sega's TRIPPIEST VIDEO GAME blended in with the background, and then you go to bed, but before you can sleep you got to log on and see what KEWL ASS news you can sink your teeth into before you wake up hungover tommorrow and then you see this scooby doo shit and realize the that it's the first thing tonight ever since getting fucked up that don't blend...

Everyone knew that, otherwise he would have jumped on Daphne years ago.
The reason they chose Fred Prinze and Sarah Gellar are because they're HOT right now and will sell tickets to the brain dead teens of the new millenium. Hollywood lost it's creative edge years ago and doesn't do things artistically, they are motivated by greed and could care less bout art and doing what's right. They do everything for the almighty dollar, that's their GOD. -
It's hard not to utter an expletive when you first see Freddie's "do".
This is gonna have to be SO tongue in cheek if it's gonna work, otherwise I'd have to go with Harry and say this is gonna suck harder than my Grandma with a McDonald's shake. -
I love the fact that this is TalkBack, where non-sequiturs rule. So here goes:
Rob Lowe was so gd funny as Shaggy on Saturday Night Live. I was screaming with laughter.
Dwarf out. -
C'mon now, we've gotta laug at them poor sad funkin' idiots. Just look at them. What do they look like? A bunch of absolute twats! Let them do it and laugh and them once they've finished!

Shut your fuckin mouth before I shut it!! You obviously have no fucking clue what you are talking about....idiot!!I will tell you what I tell every fucking clueless liberal....IF YOU DON'T LIKE THE COUNTRY.....LEAVE!!!!Move to Canada!!I don't care just get the fuck out!!!You have no idea what it means to be a free sovereign organism!!Thank the 'mindless drones' for being free, STUPID!!You are stupid, yes STUPID, IGNORANT and are the one that is brainwashed!!You have let Hollywood dictate how you view things like the military. Tell you what, why don't you go to Israel and help your fellow human beings over there. I'm sure they will accept your generous philosophy right up until you get killed. In the meantime, stop pandering your peace towards fellow humans and wise up. Otherwise, shut the fuck up!!!
-
Guess what...this movie is being made for kids, man....KIDS!!Did you expect Hollywood would target the late 20's mid thirties schucks that frequent this site? NO! So what if they fuck it up just like they did with the Flintstones, Rocky and Bullwinkle, and countless others This is just some Jews wet dream project that he has been wanting to put on the big screen since he was an underoo-wearing, Cheerio-eating, tyke. So get the fuck over it and go watch something else. For the rest of us who have kids, I'll rent them the the VHS and leave the room. I don't care if Freddie Prinze sucks or not! I don't read TEENBEAT magazine!

by key_card
Think about it, if this makes any money at all maybe Warner Bros. will decide to revive the Batman franchise w/ a cameo or supporting role for Batman in the sequel. Hell, at least it will be better than what Schumacher has done to the franchise.

YOUR STUPID LITTLE MINDS!!
LSD - If you want to live in NAZI GERMANY, then build a damn time machine and GO THERE! Otherwise, SHUT UP! -
this looks great!!!
-
He was originally cast as Shaggy, but every time one of the actors addressed Fred, he'd turn his head and go, "Huh?"
-
...big time. Way to go, Hollywood, way to wreck one of my favorite childhood memories of growing up with Scooby Doo. I completely agree with Harry on this one, on all points. The studio's gotta know that this movie is gonna tank majorly after its opening weekend once word of mouth spreads. Granted, they're still filming, but from what I've seen, well, ya can't polish a turd. Unbelievable--I sometimes think I really *do* have what it takes to work in Hollywood after I see crap like this actually greenlighted. McFly<--
-
this is horrible. they got all these "actors" in this film because big shot producers think these guys are "cool". this looks almost as bad as the other freddie prinze/matthew lillard teamup in Wing Commander. At least they had people walking around funny in cat costumes in that movie. it made you laugh a lot...especially when stoned.
and didnt Rob Lowe prove he is the one true Shaggy on SNL a couple of months ago....if you have ever seen that skit you know what I mean...and I think it would be pretty cool to have scooby as a guy in a suit just like SNL did it.
brendon Fraser could easily be Fred, Christina Ricci as Velma, and heather graham as daphne... -
See, there is your typical Liberal rant! Right away they start shouting racist, Nazi, bigot as a defense! Why am I a Nazi? Oh was it because I said Jews are in Hollywood. Well that is a fact! Jews make up a large part of Hollywood's personnel but I did not mean it a racial way. If someone got offended I apologize for my remark, but it's still a fact. It's as easy as saying that a Chinese started a Chinese restaurant. So please, stupid person, don't start sputtering Nazi attacks. I despise bigots, but even, worse I loathe ignorance.
-
What did you expect ? A new Citizen Kane ? Stooooopid...
-
This looks to be the final nail in the coffin of Freddie Prinze Jr.'s career. How many more bombs are they gonna let this hack star in? I think with the budget attached to this project and the inevitability of it tanking, no producer in Hollywood will touch that miserable mannequin with a ten foot pole.
-
fredy prince jr is so dreamy. i wish i coold be wit him forever. this movie is going to be da' bomb, y'all. dont fret. it is going to bee good.
-
Well looks like we'll just wait and see how badly matt lillard acts alongside a CG dog. I wonder if they'll shoot a scene of the gang running and just loop it over and over again like on the cartoon. Are the harlem globetrotters going to appear?
-
Do you really expect Scooby Doo the Movie to be any good? I mean, for God's sake, we're talking a 90 minute big budget feature based on Scooby Freakin' Doo? It only shows how little Hollywood regards origniality. -
This is a bad idea for a movie. It will suck. Freddie Prinze Jr has never been attached to a good movie and since this is just a BAD idea this WONT be the exception. Matt Lilard is perfect casting for Shaggy though.
-
To whomever said Shaggy should have been played by the lead singer of the Spin Doctors: You, my man (or woman), are a genius. His name is Chris Barron, formerly known (when I knew him at college back in the day) as Chris Gross, and I don't know if he can act (and most seem to think it doesn't matter with this movie), but he damn well looks the part. And he is hunch-shouldered and big-jawed. And he even kind of talks like Shaggy. Though he'd be more of the stoner version than the beatnik that the purists want.
-
I liked the BUTT-FUCKING KIDS remark and Fred's over the top wig does make up for Daphne's understated performance.
-
Somebody set up us the bomb!

Y'know, after doing such a kick-ass job in "the body" episode of Buffy, I should be more supportive of SMG's appearance as Daphne in Scooby-Doo. And yet, I fear as though she was just signing for the long green that was undoubtedly waved in front of her flawless features. She looks MUCH less than enthused in those few seconds of footage. And as for her erstwhile boytoy, someone ought to have told him that the blonde look really only has worked for Marilyn Monroe and James Marsters. Wait, is SMG a natural blonde? Damn, thought is such a chore after viewing that...that....damn, watching "Necronomicon: Book of the Dead" was more fulfilling than that atrocity, and I shut THAT thing off after ten minutes. This is going to rank right down there with Dudley Do-Right, both Brady movies and...yes, even Battlefield: Earth. To SMG: sweetie, bust the contract & take the lumps. You'll be a better person for doing it. And (in total delusional wish-fulfillment mode) dump that Prinze doof and let me take you to lunch in San Diego. Heck, you can wait and come here with the rest of the cast when the Comic-Con hits. I'll be the one NOT wearing a costume or comic-related t-shirt. I just know that our love was meant to be. Our children will be beautiful, 'cause they'll take after you, and not have disgusting growths like...! Okay, okay, okay, hmmph, where's my Prozac? Damn it, Ativan's not good enough, how about Thorazine?
A little water and...okay, better now. Well, I'll settle for a cup of coffee and a smile. Really, you won't even notice the scars. -
This guy is much more Freddy Jones than Prinze could ever be. Neither of them look particularly like the character, but Klein would do a better job, in my opinion. And why Beck was not chosen to be Shaggy is beyond me.
-
I'm not pissed off that a "Scooby Doo" movie is going to suck, but I'm pissed that it's bringing down Sarah Michelle Gellar with it. Dammit! "Buffy" is an amazing, rewarding television show. Gellar is awesome on the show, no doubt. But why in the @&*% would she stoop so low as to play Daphne? Is she that hard up for a film career? Just so she can be in a movie with her boyfriend? I forgave the crappy "Simply Irresistable" because I think it came with the deal to be in the sexy "Cruel Intentions". I can't imagine the appeal of "Scooby Doo: The Movie" to anyone - filmgoers, filmmakers, actors, critics, studio execs, etc. I mean everyone's complaining about Prinze and Lillard, but I'm more worried about Gellar selling out. I don't have a problem with selling out, but selling out to do a freaking "Scooby Doo" movie?! It's tough being a fan sometimes. PS. You can substitute Linda Cardellini's name into this, if you'd like.
-
Ok......what do you think you're talking about??? You're judging a movie that you've seen 20 seconds of and isn't even finished filming yet? That's smart. All movies aren't "Oscar worthy". They're made mostly for something called entertainment.....

Prince, Freddy Prinze Jr.'s Father, Is Deeply Ashamed of His Son
by buzz maverik
...that's why he changed his name to that symbol. Being a terrific singer and performer himself and having starred in one pretty good movie (PURPLE RAIN) he can't take his son's terrible movies. Of course, when reminded of UNDER THE CHERRY MOON and whatever that sequel to PURPLE RAIN was called, he is now considering playing the role of Freddy's Dad in SCOOBY DOO, while being no less ashamed of his offspring.
-
I thought it was obvious. She's Prinze's girlfriend, and I guess the producers figured that if they were trying for a romantic angle, she'd be the only one he could even remotely respond to. It would take more acting ability than three of him are capable of to show any chemistry with another actress. It also gives her a shot at some private time in the location trailers("Don't come a-knockin' if this van is a-rockin'!"), and I figure this is her last shot at cheap exploitative teen films before she switches to the Johnny Depp acting clique she said she was going for. Prinze certainly isn't a good enough actor to follow her there.
-
A guy who joins the military where he will be called on to think for himself and for the good of his unit and make snap life and death decisions or...someone who is such a Hollywood brown noser they know the titles of "UCLA screenwriting guru Lew Hunter's" T.V. movie credits and all about some hack screenwriter's unproduced scripts. That's the kind of drone that would make a perfect assistant for Don Simpson.
-
Which can we really chalk your anti-military rant up to? There's fashionable campus liberalism ("Ooo, I want to be a hippy!"); there's cowardice and finally, the one I suspect in your case, knowing that you couldn't cut it and that the training would be too much for you.
-
Good lord! It's a freaking movie! It's based on a cartoon!!! The people in it don't care if they make a big hit or not!!! They just want to entertain people and have a good time! God, let's think of the worst thing we can say about Freddie Prinze Jr. and diss him *rolling eyes*. How the hell do you even know it will suck? Maybe to you, but I'm sure your opinions on movies are SOOOOOO much more important than everyone else's!! Yes, the box office is based on YOUR opinions. *rolling eyes again* God, this is just another reason why I HATE critics. I'd like to see the kind of movies, YOU'D pick to be in.....
-
...He's complaining because this could have been turned into a fairly good comedy, one actually lived up to the cartoon. Yes, it wasn't brilliant, but Jesus, you people make it out like it was the Antichrist of cartoons. You people proably don't hate Scooby-Doo that much. You're just trying to act all hard and mature, like you're trying to prove to people that you, "....don't need fucking cartoons like Scooby." After all, it sounds like most of you have jumped on the anime bandwagon that's so hip and trendy right now. So, realize Harry's feelings for what they are: A film fan who wanted to see a good product created from something that played a big part in many people's childhoods. That's all.
-
No matter who is in it this movie will make money it is all about the marketing.Thanks Kylerayner I thought that years ago when the spin doctors were big.My friends and I back in the day of no responsibilities and gonja fun said man that dude from spin doctors looks dead on Shaggy. Hey LSD no since in getting worked up over a dipshit who thinks by posting on a Scooby Doo Talkback, about a subject he knows nothing about I mean please this is about a cartoon not an episode PI with Bill "i'm a jackass" Marr.Peanut_Brittle you forget about the people who fight and die for you to be free. Please go to MSNBCNEWS.COM not AICN Talkback dillrod.
-
I can understand not thinking Freddie Prinze Jr. is a good actor, but for the love of God, all this wishing for him to get a brain tumor and die is just downright embarassing! It's typical of the level of commentary these TalkBacks have taken on of late and why I find myself reading (or caring about) them less and less. Stringing together a chain of gross-out adjectives may make you a member of the Algonquin Round Table at your local junior high, but it's not the kind of discussion I want to waste my time with.
-
LSD, I believe that you are wrong. Yes, the movie IS being made for kids, however, children are much more intelligent and sophisticated now adays. And I"m sure, the age bracket that this film will be marketed to, (5 to 9?) will quickly out-grow it. However, once a film is handled with a bit more intelligence, it becomes accessible to a larger audience. Therefore, obtaining greater profits. And in the long run, isn't THAT what making movies is all about? Make a quality product, market it to a larger audience, achieve greater success. Hence, it is OBVIOUSLY not a quality product. As you say, it will have to be marketed to a very small audience. Therefore, it will be a big suckerooo!! Quid pro quo.
-
Am I crazy or does Freddy look like Rocky of Rocky Horror Picture Show?
-
How can I be wrong when it is my opinion that I am stating? And from what I'm reading you apparently agree towards the end that this is kids movie. You don't need to be a scholar to realize that it will be marketed towards 5-9 yr olds...I mean Rugrats the Movie seemed to have more depth than any Scooby Doo episode so how can you justify the producers NON-attempt at making this movie into a 'REQUIEM FOR A TRAFFIC CROUCHING CHOCOLAT, HIDDEN GLADIATOR' genre when it clearly is a KIDS mobie?????!!! But, apparantly it upsets quiet a few in here, enforcing the notion that this site is frequented by people with a kid's mentality and they are being led by an even worse example of overgrown adolescence who happens to run this site. Shit, just the title in itself would look pretty prubescent if it were viewed by itself, "SCOOBY DOO is going to suck so hard its lips will have friction burns!"
You pretty much said it Poxy, I'm back in Junior High. -
The cartoon sucked, so why would the movie be any different? At least it will insure more Buffy eps, because SMG just threw her movie career down the toilet.
-
Glad they ain't shooting this one up in Canada.
-
Ever since I saw Green in Road Trip and Charlie's Angels, I saw his face on Shaggy in the live-action version. Take a look:
http://us.imdb.com/Name?Green,+Tom+(III) -
That is not a wig that freddie is wearing. he died his hair for the role and i also think you all should lighten up just a bit.
-
...about naming rock musician Prince as Freddie Prinze Jr.'s father. If not, or if anyone else thinks that's true(and I'm sure most of you don't), the musician's real name is Prince Rogers Nelson(if memory serves correctly), while Freddie's the son of the late stand-up comic and co-lead for the 70's sitcom "Chico and the Man." Just an F.Y.I. to set things straight. Y'all know how stuff can get screwed up on the 'Net because of plain not-knowing or someone taking a joke seriously.
-
How pathetic do you have to be to carry on bashing about a nearly two year old film in a topic that has NOTHING to do with Star Wars? Oh, and Scooby Doo does indeed suck. Top Cat was the only decent HB cartoon.

Why is it that military people think they're the most important
by black jesus
The other day some military guy at work was telling me about one of his friends (who happened to also be in the military) got killed by a drunk driver. then he went on to say that they were pushing for the death penalty for the drunk and said "it would be one thing if it was just a normal person... but a U.S. soldier? uh uh." WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT?! i wanted to punch that piece of shit in the face for saying that. just because somebody's in the military means they're more important than the rest of us "civilians"? and if one more fucking army bastard calls me a "civilian" i'm going to take a fucking shotgun to his stupid ass... then we'll see how tuff the bastard really is... i've said it before and i'll say it again... AMERICA IS THE THE MOST HIPOCRITICAL FULL OF ITS SELF "LETS SHIELD THE WORLD FROM MORTAL KOMBAT" PANSY ASS COUNTRY ON THIS FUCKING EARTH. to make matters worse i fucking live here.

-
This might just be Scooby Doo, but man this looks like shit. And I don't think we can count on the "acting" to help the situation out.
-
Yes, those are all wigs. Hair extensions in SMG's case. The wig on Freddie Prinze Jr does look pretty bad, but it goes with the whole groovy, 60's theme of Scooby do, now doesn't it? All those 60s and 70s programs featured really, really bad wigs. And blond is definatly not his color. They could have at least done his eyebrows, too! The only good Scooby Doo was the Blair Witch parody on Cartoon Network.
-
Just went back and read your post... I FUCKING HATE BILL MAHER!! (notice the spelling) and from the looks of your post, you're still stuck in the 'days of no responsibility'......and if you think this movie will make over 100 mil that pretty much clarifies who the dipshit is in here. ST. BUGGERING...You're absolutely right...whoever is making this movie are morons...but they are targeting kids....my kids. I watched it as a kid and now I can't stand it when they show EVERY OLD EPISODE on the Cartoon Channel. But my kids enjoy watching it and it pleases me that part of my childhood is living through them. Did you actually think that they would actually sit down I try to write a script to target the late 20-30 year olds who served in the military and post on message boards on the internet. ***** (Studio exec meeting) Let's see Fred= Liam Neeson, Daphne = Julia Roberts, Velma = Janeane (sp?) Garofolo..( an AICN fave I might add), Shaggy = Ewan McGregor, Scooby = CGI by ILM with the voice of Kasee Kassum (sp?)***** You mention 'double digit IQ automotons who couldn't handle real life' and it makes me wonder about you.
-
May I make an observation? My apologies if this has already been stated but I have no patience for a sea of TalkBacks at the moment.
Ok, has anyone (Harry included) stopped to consider the fact that perhaps the reason why we have TV actors and (in Harry's opinion) terrible movie actors (I LIKE Lillard) in "Scooby Doo" the movie is because they're the only ones who would DO the movie?
Sure , Chris Klein would make a better Fred but he has better offers on his table every day. Acting is a business for the actors as well as the studios and each film is a new "resume" of sorts for the actor. Once you've reached the level Chris Klein has reached in terms of the power structure in hollywood, to do the Scooby Doo movie would look like a step back. It would be embarrassing.
Actors aren't just game pieces that are placed in movies. They take an active role in the development of their careers and in Hollywood, obsess wildly over their next pics.
My point is made.
Harry Potter will rule.
Harry (AICN Harry) needs to stop this endless stream of negative vomitting that is insinuating itself at this site.

Ms. Pointy, I Would Never Kid About Something Like Freddy Prinze
by buzz maverik
Like many people, you've been lead to believe that he is the son of the late Freddy Prinze, who committed suicide. Nothing could be farther from the truth and I cannot allow such falsehoods to be spread about a man too dead to defend himself. Like Emilio Estevez, Freddy went back to the original spelling of the family name which was changed due to a typo on Ellis Island when the family game over from Transylvania in the 1890s.
-
Swerdenberg, where you can't buy liquor after 9 p.m. If hash weren't legal, the whole population would have moved by now. I wish somebody had told me hash wasn't legal in the U.S., or that military service wasn't mandatory. Now I have to leave this place. I'm thinking of heading to Balkania where hash is not only legal but half price.
-
Well, first off, I don't like anime becuase it's hip and trendy, as you say. I like most of the anime I've seen, and dislike some of it. It has nothing to do with a bandwagon. It's just my opinon. You are entitled to yours, but don't you dare shove words down my mouth. Oh, and I do like some western animation, like the batman series. I don't really care what country it comes from, as long as it's good. I just think japan's animation generally pays better attention to storyline and character, and is not always made for kids. Just my opinon, nothing more, nothing less.
Now, Scooby Doo. Frankly, I never had any good childhood memorys of this one. Always a transformers fan:) Anyway, I can understand harry wanting to see a good adaption, easy rider, and to be honest more power to him. I don't really care too much at the end of the day. However, even for a kid's show, I don't think it's that good. Let's forget anime and compare it to western animation, the above-mentioned batman series. I think batman is superior in every way, with sharper writing and better animation. Hell, even compared to transformers, at least transformers did different things thourghout it's run. My problem with scooby doo is the repetivness, every episode seem's to go exactly the same way with few devations. I wouldn't call it the anit-christ of toons(let's save that for a captain planet talkback,) but there is(or was) far better out there that can still appeal to kids, like batman.
-
While LSD seems to think that people's opinions cannot be considered 'wrong' he is right about one thing...ignorance is the most gaoddamned annoying shit around. Those of you with no respect for the military should read John Locke's Second Treatise (folks, he was a hell of a lot smarter than any of us...except perhaps Buzz, which is...odd). In this he explicitly states the reason for all of our obligation to serve to protect our respective countries (excepting those of us who live in despotism). I would have given you the quote here, but it's a little difficult to find two sentences in that work. Anyway, until you read you people aren't nothing but ignorant little shitwits. Oh, and for one of youout there...hipoctitical? You don't know how long I laughed when I read that man.

Sara Michelle Gellar looks like Pia Zadora and Freddie Prinze Jr looks like MacCauley Culkin in their stupid costumes! YIKS!!!

I Think I Figured Out What All This Military Debate Has To Do Wi
by buzz maverik
...obviously the adventure will take place on an abandoned military base where the gang has gone to help one of Velma's "friends" Sgt. Lucy. The base is no doubt haunted by Patton's ghost, who slaps Shaggy. Shag and Scoob head for the mess tent where they make huge sandwiches out of c-rations and k-rations. Freddy and Velma come up with a plan but must use Shaggy and Scooby as bait. In the end, Patton's ghost is wrapped up in an American flag and unmasked. It turns out to be Jane Fonda, who wanted to make sure the base stayed closed. And she would have succeeded if not for those meddling kids.

I never said i didn't have any respect for the military... i just don't have any respect for the individuals in the military who think they're better than the rest of us. and i fucking HATE the bastards that refer to the general pop. as "civilians". really what just pissed me off was the bullshit that guy told me about the drunk driving death... as if the guy who was killed being in the military gave more reason to go for the death penalty than if it was a "civilian". fuck you.

Hi my name is um...Pete and Wow this cast looks great! I thought HEAD OVER HEELS was an underrated masterpiece and I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a WNG COMMANDER 2 with More Wire Fu from FRED! I think this film will gross over 200 million domestic because of the mazing wire...wait what do you mean look at the user id? OH, ummm like i said, I'll see you all there opening day! Fred can do no wrong and damn, does that wig look dapper. this is umm Pete. and i'm out.
-
The cast you picked stinks. The person you picked to play Fred makes Woody Allen look like Bing Cosby. The girl you picked for Dafny make Drew Barymor look like Meryl Streep. The lady you picked for Velma makes Tracy Ullman look like Betty Davis. The guy who will play Shaggy makes Jim Carry look like Fred Astaire. Also thank God,they did not pick Jim
Carry to play Fred or Drew Barrymore to play Dafney and Tom Green to play Shaggy and Tracy Ullman to play Velma.
I would picked Peter Tork as Shaggy,and Minne Coleman to play Velma, and three choices for Fred and Dafney.first choice is Susan Dey as Dafney and David Cassiday as Fred. My second choice would be Maureen Mccormick as Dafney and Barry Williams as Fred, and my third choice would be Anson Williams as Fred, and Erin Moran as Dafney. -
I think everyone is missing the actual facts and getting upset for nothing. Early script indications said that the group gets back together after beening apart for a few years. My suspicions are that those "hated" costumes are merely for the opening or flashback scenes, I mean why would Freedie Prinze go through all the trouble of bleaching his hair and eyebrows if he's wearing a wig? So I think for the most part of the movie they will look quite different, but I could be wrong. As for the Freddie/Matthew issue? I'm cool with Lilliard. But Prinze? Come on. He was obviously just a plow to get his fiance (don't even get me started on that topic) SMG invovled.
Shane.
