After years of trying to make money off a live-action Scooby Doo with a couple of theatrical movies and then TV film follow-up, Warner Bros. is taking Scooby Doo back to his animated roots, as they’re planning a new cartoon adventure for the Great Dane, which will be released in cinemas.
Variety has the news and says Matt Lieberman is writing the screenplay.
There’s no news on the story, or even whether it will be just Scooby or if the movie will also include the likes of Shaggy, Thelma, Fred and Daphne. It’s not even known it will be CGI animation or hand drawn.
Charles Roven and Richard Suckle will be produce, who were also behind the the live-action Scooby Doo film starring Freddie Prinze Jr., Sarah Michelle Gellar, Matthew Lillard and Linda Cardellini. They also brought the sequel Scooby Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed to the big screen two years later. Those film grossed over $450 million worldwide.
