The Full Scooby Thing... Click at your own risk
Hey folks, Harry here... While I must admit to having rather STRONG FEELINGS about this SCOOBY DOO project, I suppose I'll hold my tongue and allow... well... the simple 'brilliance' of the creative folks behind this... ahem... production of SCOOBY DOO to speak for itself. Because really, the words and pictures conveyed in this footage speak far louder and convincingly than I could ever pretend to. My sorrow will instead rest with the poor mechanical bastard known as Robogeek... who, though made of metal and gears and whirring parts, surely had to feel the pangs of corrosion of his most intimate circuits while enduring the horror that is Access Hollywood with the soul thankless task of bringing you this utterly brilliant sunlight of your day! Enjoy...
From today's ACCESS HOLLYWOOD:

-
That is proof that Hollywood is scraping the bottom of the barrel.
-
This movie, coupled with the quake in Seattle and G.W. Bush as President, are sure signs that the end is near.
-
Wow, is this going to be spectacularly bad. I always thought Harry was kinda overreacting about this, but now.......
-
Goddamn, what the fuck...I don't even wanna say anything else...Goddammit....
-
Guys this is going to be the GREATEST film ever! Forget Star Wars, guys after they get done with making three Scooby movies this will be known as the true "Holy Trilogy." Mark my words Harry is wrong. I know what I am talking about here. Oh ya, and 3rd!
-
LOL Anyone notice that the guy playing Shaggy looks a little buff and seems to be dressed a tad to well for the most famous slacker of all time?
-
Like anyone here actually thought a Scobby Doo movie would be any good. Who cares about this crap? When was last time a film based on a cartoon, tv show, comic book, or other favorite novelty of our youth was actually any good? I'm not being cynical, I'm just being honest. This idea is as bad as the live action "Fat Albert". Films today are missing originality; which just happens to be the reason movies suck so bad now. Sometime around '89 studios started doing this crap, and the art of film hasn't been the same. Thank you for letting me rant . . . but a "Scobby Doo" movie, this a bad dream!
-
Man, Hollywood has finally hit the skids...
-
Um....Is it me or do they look more like Beverly Hills 90210 rejects more than the cartoon characters? Well Velma looks like her character but still....the guy who plays Shaggy was chosen over Mike Myers? There had to have been a better alternate candidate! I mean he looks like a hippy from the musical Hair. Not Shaggy.
-
First off, no one respects FREDDIE PRINZE JRfor the talent that is him. Second THE ROCKY AND BULLWINKLE MOVIE was so damn funny thats i believe that the SCOOBY DOO movie will be better than all you putzes expect. and MORTAL KOMBAT ANHILATION was scraping the bottom of the barrel and casting HALLE BERRY as STORM was bad casting. Done and done.
-
this movie will not be worth the film its shot on!!
Faggie Prinze Jr. looks like a damn ghost in all of that make up.
What a waste of time!! -
You just can't explain that one, folks, no matter how many platitudes. Really, who cares, it's just embarassing for the entire cast, that's all...

I'm going to go out on a limb here. This is slowly improving in
by lenny nero
It's not exactly good, but it's not the horror of horrors that Harry is making it out to be. The character of Fred was always kinda out of it, and this movie seems like it'll be played for laughs in the same vein as "Brady Bunch Movie" and "Rocky & Bullwinkle," two movies I admit are not great. Besides, I saw the "Josie and the Pussycats" trailer, and I think studios are starting to get it. Who knows...this could blow, but I'm not turned off to it (yet).

I'll watch this movie if they keep the Scooby Doo stand in IN!!!
by iamlegolas
That would so rock!
-
Further proof that Hollywood is run by a bunch of stupid morons
-
words cannot express how crappy this looks.these people sold their souls to the devil.i hope this movie flops.brilliance my ass
-
You know, I never even liked Scooby Doo, and a few friends and I believe that no one really does. . . everyone just thinks they do. But, even *I'm* sickened by this film. I don't know how Hollywood managed to take a cartoon I couldn't give two shits about, and turn it into a movie that I still despise and see as an unholy travesty. How do they keep doing that?
-
Did he really say this monstrosity is going to cost 84 million dollars. You have to be kidding me, My GOD where is the money going????? This could possibly be the biggest waste of money ever. ( OK, maybe thats an overstatement... or maybe not?)
-
Wow....I never thought I would say this, but, Velma is HOT!!
Especially with her glasses off.
-
DuHEesome day thay will make a live action movie with me and that dickhead ren...maybe 20 years from now

WHERE ARE YOU, SCOOBY DOO? (1948, b/w) Cast: Robert Mitchum (Fred); Lauren Bacall (Daphne); James Stewart (Shaggy); Katherine Hepburn (Velma); Mel Blanc (Voice of "Scooby Doo"); Vincent Price (Hotel Owner); Boris Karloff (Groundskeeper); Peter Lorre (Jewelry Store Owner); Duke Ellington (Himself). Directed by Caroll Reed. Screenplay by Raymond Chandler, based on the novel "The Mysterious Machine" by G. K. Chesterton. SYNOPSIS: Probably Reed's most successful comedy, this classic thriller features a rewarding balance of physical comedy, a lot of sharp dialogue, and an intriguing whodunit plot about a group of young people investigating a haunted carnival. Keep an eye out for a rare screen appearance by Duke Ellington in a celebrity cameo as himself during a nightclub scene. Ellington and the Blanton-Webster band provided also provided the film's soundtrack, and the group is at the top of its form, transitioning fawlessly from Raymond Scott-type cacophony to some truly spooky mood music. All the cast members also make the most of their roles. Mitchum does not have many lines, but still manages to radiate a quiet confidence as the Freddy, the good natured frat-boy leader of the group. Bacall, as the ingenue Daphne, likewise, does not have much to do except stand around and smolder, but smolder she does in a variety of daringly-short-for-their-time skirts. (In on notorious scene, Daphne, having been kidnapped by the film's villain is later found alive, but bound and gagged, in a cigar-store indian, the sight of which may induce uncontrolable drooling in male viewers). Chandler (whose script keeps thing moving along swiftly and is widely held to be among his best work) saved his most pungent lines for Hepburn, who plays Velma, the bespectacled "smart gal" of the group. Her foil of course, is Stewart, (who seen here at his stammering best comedy mode, complete with waving forelock) who plays Shaggy, the cowardly "beatnik" character (complete with obviously fake goatee!). Hepburn and Stewart work off each other smoothly and naturally, and their cutting exchanges rank among classics of film dialogue. The heart and soul of the film is, of course, is the stop-motion-animated (by a team which included a young Ray Harryhausen) talking (!) great dane, "Scooby Doo", which was almost perfectly spliced into each scene. Even today, it is hard to believe the animated dog was adid in after shooting, so naturally to the actors work around it. As for the plot, of course, the jaw-dropping surprise ending, so astonishing in its time, is today as well known as the idenity of Welles' "Rosebud". Still, it would be cruel to give away the identity of the villain to anyone discovering the film for the first time. In short, an absolute must see. (P.K.)

I mention this because many of you are getting all bent out of shape over nothing when it comes to this Scooby-Doo movie. Come on, you all know it was inevitable that this television property would become a live-action movie. It's got all the elements-Teenagers, horror/comedy,and an appeal to the pop culture consciousness of a generation of t.v. viewers, that are in vougue today as far as studio pics go. Look at it this way-any way you slice it, we can't lose. If it's as bad as you all say it will be, then we'll all have fun watching the movie together and making fun of it. However, it may also be a clever re-working and new direction for an old t.v. show, as some of the best movies made from t.v. shows often are. In that case, we can appreciate the film as a worthy addition to the genre of t.v shows turned movies. Remember, even Billy Shakes borrowed from the past. True originality is an illusion, as I've said time and again.
-
What the heck is going with you film makers. Do the scooby dog for real not animated. this is nuts someone should rethink this one out. You guys should take a Great Dane and make it look like scooby Doo for a live action throught the movie. That would make it better. This is nuts the way that it is going right know.
-
I hope that as you all draw your
final breaths, having worked
yourselves into a stroke-inducing
frenzy over the fucking SCOOBY
DOO movie, that you'll be able to
reflect back on your lives and
have no regrets about dying so
young. Rest in peace. -
Did you see him on Saturday Night Live doing Shaggy? He was dead on. I don't know who Lillard is but Robe Lowe could save this movie!!!

Oh FUCK! A Scooby Doo Movie that looks as if it's going to be ... BAD! SHIIIIIIT! I'm screwed! You're screwed! WE'RE SCREWED! For gods sake someone shoot me now, my miserable life is no longer worth living.
-
Toons that could be awesome films: "Pole Position", "Silver Hawks", "Thundercats", and the greatest one ever... "Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors"! Any comments?
-
Did you listen to the dialogue delivery during that nanosecond of 'Access' silence? That had to have been some of the most horrible acting I've ever seen. I am now convinced that Freddie Prinze, Jr. has had his dialogue dubbed over by a decent vocalist in every movie he's ever been in. Why does Matthew Lillard look like Patrick Fugit from 'Almost Famous'? I only pray that Sarah Michelle Gellar and that cute as a button Linda Cardellini can save this film from complete and utter oblivion.
-
This movie looks terrible. I'm usually the guy who gives everything a chance but this is just too horrible to look at. Seriously, what else could we expect from director Raja Gosnell, a man who started his career editing low budget horror films in the eighties. That's right, Raja helped cut such instant classics as 'Monster in the Closet' for Troma and 'Teen Wolf Too' with Justin Bateman. Of course, he's moved on to bigger things... like Martin Lawrence in a 300 pound fat suit and a silly teen romance with Drew Barrymore and the 'hilarious' David Arquette. I was surprised his name didn't appear in the credits for 'See Spot Run'! This film will be garbage. It will not jumpstart a franchise in the same way that you don't see Hollywood jumping at the chance to make another Flinstones movie. This will be another 'Flinstones'. Another 'Car 54'. Another 'McHale's Navy'. May God have mercy on us all.
-
...John Travolta! This pile 'o crap could actually make Battlefield Earth look like a pretty decent film. I can see ol' John now, down on his knees prayin' to L. Ron Hubbard to make this thing flop like the steaming dog-turd it looks like it's gonna be. Oh, and when they're finished with this one, how 'bout they do a "Groovie Ghoulies" movie...or is that too much to hope for?
-
The actress that plays Velma in the movie IS hot! She's Linda Cardellini, one of the finest up and coming talents in Hollywood. While I would like to have seen Christina Ricci's take on Velma, Linda is a welcome surprise. I still hate the thought of this movie, but the combination of Sarah Michelle Gellar, Linda Cardellini and Mr. Bean himself Rowan Atkinson as the villain are quite tempting. Why go half ass with this thing? I don't understand. They have three, count 'em... THREE good actors in the movie. Three people who are actually capable of entertaining an audience. Why would they cast two horrible male leads? Why produce the worst of the existing scripts? Why throw a monkey wrench into a well oiled machine? Who knows. Anyway, if you want to see Linda in action, check out 'Freaks and Geeks' on the Fox Family Channel. Or go rent the low budget horror film 'Strangeland'... where you'll, um... see a whole lot of Linda. OH YEAH!!!
-
The movie looks like it's gonna be not just awful, but god-awful (props to Mr. Cannon). HOLY HELL, is that the 90-foot Bird of Surprise takin' a big, gooey shit right on my head? NO! As horrid as it undoubtedly will be, the movie couldn't possibly be worse than the show itself. Think about it: how many other cartoons do you know of that are SO completely stagnant, boring, badly drawn, and uncharasmatic, that they require a) a *laugh* *track*
b) frequent guest appearances by Batman, the Harlem Globetrotters, the Fat Albert Gang, and God help us, the Archies
c) the addition of Scrappy Doo, if only to make the audience feel something, ANYTHING, towards the show, even if it is unbridled hatred.
The show eats shit, folks. Always has. It's not like they're desecrating holy ground here: they're polishing a turd to make a much newer turd. No essential changes going on.
Also, for the benefit of us fetishists: what, Freddie Prinze Jr. can wear the worst wig this side of Elton John's pubes, but Buffy can't dye her precious hair red? Get over yourself, fer chrissakes. Seat me back in the "Giving a Shit" section when they start digging up the Transformers. -
Mar 01, 2001 11:00:25 PM CST
What are the odds Sarah and Freddie will even still be together
by twig
And then they'll have to see each other again at the premiere, when they have to sit there and watch this (likely) atrocious film they made oh so long ago. The Sarah I saw in that great Buffy the other night is clearly slumming here.
-
My god, this looks astoundingly, stupifyingly, unforgivably bad. 84 million dollars! What the fuck is this movie doing with the cash. What the hell is Freddie Prinze Jr's wig made out of, Andy Warhols real hair that's been preserved in a freezer? The world is amazingly unfair, That idiot Prinze Jr. screws hot Hollywood chick after hot Hollywood chick and he gets away with it, this fuck is the most untalented asshole this side of Tom Cruise. Fuck, my asshole can sound more convincing when I fart!!! This is a sure sign that the apocalypse is upon us. Pray everyone, the kingom of heaven is at hand. And just in case we don't all die in the flames, DIBS on Harry's job!!!!!!!!!!

WHAT EXACTLY WERE YOU GUYS HOPING FOR ? A BLOCK BUSTER, OSCAR W
by frenchnick
I mean, how could you guys drool over such a movie ? From what i've seen, it all looks pretty faithfull to the series, colors, caracters... etc...
I mean, how could all the cinema magic make a big slobbering biskit eating speaking dog credible ? Don't get me wrong, i enjoyed the cartoon, but what if they were to make a live action Popples or Carebears movie, what's to be expected ?
Caracters so far seem faithfull enough and the acting, well, we'll just have to see. I often have the impression that i always defend those in doubt. Give the movie a chance and don't think it's gonna be great, i never could have been no matter who played the parts. I would also like to strongly object to the serious lack (and therefor credibility) of objectivism within these talkbacks and you, dear Harry, I expected you to know better and not slander this thing to hell quite yet and see for yourself; Freddy prinze Jr may be a bad actor but hey, the actor doesn't always do the movie.
Let's all keep in mind that this could only be a big cartoon with actors. To expect anything else would be...
how can I say it...
Way too geeky for me. Get a life y'all!
PS: It may yet suck big time, but I'm willing to let it have it's chance... -
nothing here
-
Whoever cast this film should be sacked, this will die a lonely death. Tom Green shouldve played Shaggy not some actor from an overrated film series which absolutely stinks of the bad stuff. Poor old Scooby, what started as a good idea will just kill the cartoon just as the bastard that is Scrappy did. Just another sign that Hollywood has got its head up its arse. SCOOBY DOO R.I.P (aw..luv him).
-
NO. Harry made it quite clear
from the very beginning that he
had high hopes for this film. He
isn't upset that a Scooby Doo
movie is being made; he's upset
that *this particular* Scooby Doo
movie is being made. What I
don't understand is why, if you
already don't care about Scooby
Doo, you assume that the people
saying *not* to care about it are
talking to you. -
Ass Ass Ass Ass Ass ASS!!!!

1. Fred is gay. No question. Has the hots for Shaggy but Shaggy is too stupid to pick up on Fred's advances.
2. Daphne wants Fred, but is too stupid to realize he's gay.
3. Velma is gay and has the hots for Daphne. Again, Daphne is too stupid to notice Velma's advance.
4. Shaggy is too stoned on Scooby Snacks to notice anything, though during a really long Scooby Snack bender he makes an awkward pass at Scooby.
My casting ideas:
Fred: Who cares?
Daphne: How hard can it be to find a tall curvy red-head?
Velma: The role Janeane Garofolo wa born to play.
Shaggy: Sure, why not Tom Green? Or Andy Dick doing Tom Green?
Other casting:
Anybody still alive who appeared on the old cartoons, such as Tim Conway, Johnathan Winters, Don Knotts, Cher (what's she done lately?), the Globetrotters and throw in the new live-action Josie and the Pussycats.
Any questions? -
i don't think any of us need to worry exactly, this film will die faster than the dodo (i will probably go to see what it's like, since i can be such a sucker about these things, i did pay full price for Monkeybone and actually kind of liked it). I say this because according to a recent article about thesouless machine that is TRL, none of the kids knew who Chewbaca was when the crew started talking about the old Star Wars films (i know that there is an extremely prevalent age difference there with the current state of a modern day 13-year-old's mind but i still think that it is FUCKING SACRILEGE). I also know that scooby doo cartoons run non-stop on cartoon network and that this film will have market friendly stars of and for the teen audience but still...i don't need to download this to know it will suck (I saw stills of it on comingsoon.net) all we can do now is pray that this thing is released the same weekend as some blockbuster so that it gets blown out of the fucking water like the coporate spy sub it is and does worse business at the box office than Monkeybone (and trust me, after Wing Commander that prediction cannot be that far off base).

Especially if they are playing it for laughs (let's hope). Still, bad, bad casting.

What? WHAT? Eighty-five fuckin million dollars for THAT???
by robert blake
Didn't "Jurassic Park" cost about sixty million bucks? It was a really cool action/suspense film with some amazing special effects. What are we to expect from a movie that costs even more? Awesome film with amazing effects? --------------- No, wait, "Waterworld" cost about two hundred million bucks, and it was a MEDIOCRE film with ridiculous effects. --------------- Another example: "Star Wars - The Phantom Menace" was way more expensive than "The Matrix", but which one kicked more ass? --------------- So big budgets don't make a film good. Just watch "The Avengers" and you will know it is true. --------------- MOST RIDICULOUS WASTES OF MONEY IN HOLLYWOOD EVER: 1- The Avengers; 2- Scooby Doo; 3- Heaven's Gate; 4- Lost in Space; 5- Godzilla. 6- Dr. Moreau's Island; 7- Street Fighter; 8- Robocop III; 9- Power Rangers; 10- Armageddon.
-
Thanks for a good laugh. Great writing - I'd love to see YOUR movie.
-
Here's my cast: Jeremy Irons as Mumm-Ra. Heath Ledger as Lion-O (he wasn't exactly a genius, now was he folks...). Hugh Jackman as Tigra. Ving Rhames as Panthro. David Hyde Pierce as Jackalman. Gary Oldman in Oscar winning makeup as Slithe. Snarf CGI voiced by original actor. Due to scripting problems, Wiley Kit and Kat are left out. And finally...Cate Blanchett as Cheetara.
-
okay, so freddie as fred and buffy as daphne and a buff shaggy are a little unsettling, but velma's casting and the clothes work and it seems to be a tongue and cheek approach, as was the brady films, and it doesn't look as godawfulbad as the flintstones craporama so let's just try and be patient people... we ca nalways call it a piece of shit when it comes out... everyone thought the x-men was gonna totally suck and that wasn't so bad. as always...
-
Jaga is played by Terrence Stamp. Written by Lawrence Kasdan, directed by Steven Spielberg.
-
zoinks!! bill hanna and joe barbera must be spinning in thier graves....oh...thet're not dead yet...well this movie will take care of that...jinkies!
-
Velma kinda had a naughty girl look in her eyes.Wonder if Scooby Dumb is in for a cameo?You people are right Hollywood has lost it,well at least we get E.T. Special Edition next year.Since they are bringing back Transformers car robot toys in August followed by a new cartoon,maybe it will make money and we'll get a movie.One can dream.

by mully4ever
I am willing to give it a chance because the producers know there will be an all out riot if they screw this up. The tv show was cheese, but good always won in the end. The friends ALWAYS got along with each other. How many movies say that? It is make believe people. As long as it's better than Blair Witch 2, I'll be happy.
-
I never thought there could possibly be another film as absolutely horrible as batman & robin.
I was wrong. -
One of the best cartoons ever...
-
That was the funniest thing I've read since last year when 'Pisso the Clown' was tyring to pee on me. As for watching any more of this horrid, vilified Scooby adaptation -- Well -- given a choice, I'd rather gargle with Drain-O.
-
Buffy and Daphne have to be the 2 sexiest TV characters ever.Combine the 2 and you get a sex superhero for kids of all ages to worship
-
Why oh why didn't they use Rhys Ifans for Shaggy? (or maybe he got a whiff of the pile of **** this movie is going to turn out to be and bailed out). One more thing...if hollywood so much as hints at doing a banana splits movie, myself, bingo, drooper and snorky (along with the sour grape gang)will get in our armoured buggies and go a-riotin' in the hills.
"Its time to take out the trash..."
Mind you "Grape Ape" might not be a bad idea, if Rick Baker fances doing some more ape fx! -
Scooby Doo was a childhood favorite. Hell, The Thirteen Ghosts of Scooby Doo was a childhood favorite. Dammit, A Nutcracker Scoob was a collegiate favorite. This crapoctomy called Sccob the live Action Ass Scratch is an incredibly wrongheaded idea. Prinze's movies have been tanking right and left. He is a vapid sub Keanu intestinal worm. Lillard showed promise in SLC Punk!, but he always seems to rely on his moronic mugging. I don't want to bash a Scoob movie because that seems a bit infantile. i will say that the filmmakers deserve every mouthful of crap they will have to chew on if this thing tanks. Some things need to remain in their original entity. Archie doesn't need to be live action. Rocky and Bullwinkle did not need to be live action. Josie and the Pussycats didn't need to be live action. Scooby Doo sure as hell doesn't need to be live action. How about a few more films that come from a brain instead of a colon????
-
I hope it'll be good. See, it hasn't come out yet, so you're all just shaking fists at an invisible Satan. You simply won't know if it's good or not until you put your ass in the chair and watch it.

Has anyone ever paid attention to this? Good Lord, some of the foulest insults I've ever read came from these boards! Hoping people DIE just because they made a bad movie doesn't make you a passionate film lover - it just makes you a pathetic little psycho. -
I do not bash films before they come out. I do bash ideas. I think that if a person has watched enough films and is aware of the mainstream mentality that certain things become evident. I saw the trailers for the last two Sandler films and knew they were bad concepts. I also knew they were probably going to be poorly executed. I was right. I a;spo saw the trailers for Blue Streak, Boys and Girls, Head Over Heels, Flintstones 2, IKnow What You Did Last Summer and its sequel and knew that the ideas were lamely put together. You can sniff a stinker. Did anyone think that Battlefield Earth looked like a goosd idea? I sure didn't, yet I hoped Travolta would pull it off. He didn't. I don't wish for the deaths of the SB filmmakers. I do ,however, believe that it will be a black eye on the level of It's Pat:The Movie. If you see that Ween is appearing in it, my suspicions will be confirmed.
-
NO! THEY CANNOT MAKE A LIVE ACTION TRANSFORMERS MOVIE WITHOUT ME!!! I MUST BE A PART OF THAT PROJECT!!!! But anyway, WHY DIDN'T THEY LET MIKE MYERS MAKE HIS VERSION OF THE SCOOBY DOO MOVIE!?
-
I was just amusing myself over at imdb.com with their "Bottom 100" list - maybe I'm just in that frame of mind, but this looks like the kind of movie that'll have a place of "honor" in the near future. Accurately cartoonish costumes do not a Scooby-Doo movie make...
-
You got to love that freeze frame of the embodiments of excrement that will represent a CGI Scooby shown as the quicktime clip ends, don't you? This movie better bomb, but I have this awful premonition that for some reason it won't. I see this movie making money because people LOVE shit fests. The Wedding Singer, Save The Last Dance, In and Out, and even Wild Wild West, one of the worst movies on the planet all made money. Why? Because the movie going public loves shit movies. It's obvious. Down to Earth is an irrepressible turd, yet it's still holding strong two weeks straight. The stars make the drawing power, ladies and gentlemen, that's why Scooby Doo has a chance of making serious money. It's called Freddie Prinze, Jr. and Sarah Michelle Gellar. The teenybopper-TRL audience will flock to this like Academy voters to Gladiator. Oh, and seeing this clip of Scooby with sound made everything a whole lot worse. Any of yous recall what Freddie Prinze, Jr. says to Velma in that part he storms of all pissed? I couldn't make it out. He looks awful by the way. Was Brendan Fraser too busy? In all seriousness, if the suits thought with their heads instead of their pockets, they would have at least gotten someone a little movie believeable to play the characters in this flick. Linda Cardellini, for real, does look kind of sexy even behind that nerdy getup. It still won't warrant me to see this piece of shit once it hits screens. And one last thing, it's coming out a month after the Spider-Man movie, and if it makes more money than Spidey I'm going to go fuckin' bonkers. Again, you can't trust what the public wants, why do you think so many people watched the Grammys? -
come on people... Freddie Prinze Jr. and Matthew Lillard have ruined many many movies... at least ryan phillipe has tried to become a legit film star with Way Of The Gun...
WE are the critics of the new millenium... US! but unfortunatly there are more dawson's creek watching, nsync, britney spears, backstreet boys listening dumbasses that actually watch movies for their unoriginality and bad acting teen stars who are in their twenties then there is US! they rule the cinema because they are the majority... we await movies like hannibal, Star Wars ep2, Momento, Conan 3, and Spiderman while they await movies that are basically remakes of other lame movies... and they all star freddie prinze jr.
wake up people, if you truely want movies to stop being made so long as they have shitty 24 year olds playing 18 year olds then stand up and make yourselves the majority -
I suspect whoever green lighted this flick is in for a serious barrage of sodomy from the big brass when it collapses like Vic Morrow under a helicopter blade. Oops maybe that was too far.

Hollywood is going to be a ghost town, soon.

What the fuck is this "Live Action" retro 1969 Bullshit. The way this thing looks I rather be watchin' H. R. Puff 'n' Stuff or those bananna guys. Some images JUST DON'T TRANSLATE from origin to the big screen--X-Men is the perfect example on how to do it right.
I mean I LOVED Scoob when I was a kid but that the '70s with stupid outfits, different personalities, different views of the world. I just can't stomach the toons now on the Cartoon Network--well the first 2 seasons still rule. The Only way I can see this thing working is if it is a comedy--and that is a long shot. What's with that wardrobe...the dwarf in the dog suit...
I'm pissed. I want the essence of Scooby...not the image of Scooby.
I want to see a tattooed, nipple/lip/cock peirced, bleached blond go-tee wearing Shaggy--the kind of fucker that, no matter crude he is you wanna be him.
If shaggy were invented today that's what he would be. -
Yep, my age group--the 30-to-40 set--is responsible for the unspeakable horror that is about to be unleashed upon the world. We are the generation that so shamelessly idolizes the TV shows of our youth and adolescence that we've turned Nick at Nite and TV Land into cultural phenomena; and who've convinced Hollywood that there's a market for films based on ANYTHING that aired on the tube between 1960 and 1980. What's next? "A-Team: The Movie?" Oh, wait. . .

The end of studio filmmaking. It doesn't get more retarded.
by heywood jablomie
The one glimmer of silver-liningness: this will end a lot of careers that should be ended, and will give people who dig snickering at BATTLEFIELD EARTH-type fiascos a new snicker.

This looks very very good! And I'm enjoying all of this buzz all of you talkbackers provide! Hooray thsi movie will be a huge hit and make lots of money, much more than that silly boat sinking movie! Wait til you see Scooby do some Wire Fu! Oops Sarah Michele is waking up, she's going to want some more of the big Fred-Love! Time to go take care of some bid-ness! Boo Ya! Go see SCOOBY! and if you can not wait go see HEAD OVER HEELS it's playing in your local 1$ theater...and if you're REALLY itching to see the Lillard-FRED combo rent the instantly classic WING COMMANDER. Just pop in that tape or dvd, relax and enjoy an afternoon of Lillard-Prinze greatness!

...Hollywood's missing the boat. Take a truly great cartoon like JONNY QUEST and turn THAT into a movie. Can you even BEGIN to imagine the possibilities in this era of Matrix-type FX? It could blow Indiana Jones right out of the action/adventure water! Great characters, exotic locations, action galore, and Dr. ZIN! The greatest cartoon villain of all time! Cast it well and it could be an epic! C'mon Hollywood, grow some testicles and BRING IT ON!
Is Scooby Doo really the best you could do? Hell, Bandit could eat Scooby AND Scrappy for breakfast and still have room for more!
This is the action franchise of the 2000's, so GET WITH IT! 'Nuff said...

Scooby-Dooby-Doo..where are you?..and more to the point, does anyone give a shit?
Man, crap like this gets approved-meanwhile, according to one newpaper, a horrible rumor has surface that universal is trying to dump House of 1000 Horrors-either by, A., putting it against very stiff summer competition in a summer release; 2. trying to force Rob Zombie to edit it down EVEN FURTHER from its original NC-17 form, down to a PG-13; or, C., bowing to pressure from politicians, and removing it from their release slate altogether. Now the paper it was reported in, USA Today, is not known for it exemplary track record of reliable sources, so let's hope this is bull..still....Freddie Prinze Jr. and Matthew Lillard together in the same movie...it's rather reminiscent of De Niro and Pacino together in a movie...only crappy...;> -
after watching all the scooby doo animated movies that have come out on dvd resently i got interested in hearing about the movie. They are so dam funny. They make fun of themselves almost which makes it histerical at times in a way, and the mysterys arent as easy to solve anymore. Its sad to say i think they will be funnyier then the movie will be just by looking at the writers and director. :( they need to go in a brady bunch movie direction with a really good mystery story. i fear we will get cheap horrible jokes that will be at a lower shild level then any of the episodes or these new animated movies ever were. they should have gotten some of the animated writers toghter to work on the movie. this was a good idea with what might be a good cast but fear a stupid mystery and no real new laughs.
