The Scooby Doo film franchise is set for a revamp with a prequel to the 2002 film starring Hollywood couple Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze JR. underway.
Scooby Doo: The Mystery Begins, which features a cast of unknowns, will be released straight to DVD and there are already plans to shoot a follow-up.
Robbie Amell, who plays Fred in the new film, tells MovieHole.net, "There’s a second script... In the first film, we solve our first mystery - but, by the end of the mystery, we’ve destroyed a lot of stuff.
The next one would be set at a lake resort, a summer camp kind-of setting, where we’re forced to work to pay off the damage we made in the first film."
Frank Welker, a member of the original ’Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!’ voice cast, provides the voice of Scooby-Doo in the new movie.
The live action movie came to the big screen back in 2002 with Gellar, Prinze Jr joined by Matthew Lillard and Linda Cardellini.
Despite a poor reception from the critics the movie put in a solid box office performance grossing over $276 million globally.
Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed followed in 2004 despite grossing less than it's predecessor it did top the American box office.
