Due to her closeness with the director and Prinze Jr., Gellar said she would be part of the sequel in an “unofficial” capacity.

A 2002 Sarah Michelle Gellar movie is trending on Max after two decades, and its popularity is proof that the actor needs to complete her trilogy. Sarah Michelle Gellar has starred in several acclaimed movies and shows over the course of her career. From her most iconic role as the eponymous Buffy the Vampire Slayer to classic movies like Cruel Intentions, Gellar has had a very successful career. Even with so many highlights, however, the actor has also had some relative misfires and mistakes.

One of Gellar's so-called misfires may not have been a mistake at all. After 22 years, a film Gellar starred in that was widely panned by critics is now experiencing a resurgence in popularity on the streaming service Max. The newfound popularity is a great sign in its own right, but it could even be an indication that Gellar should return to complete the trilogy that was planned but never came to fruition.

“And I would have gotten away with it too if it weren’t for you meddling kids.” This is undoubtedly one of the most famous lines in the history of animated television and practically everyone will recognize it as the most famous phrase from the Scooby-Doo series. The phrase usually signified the end of a case when Scooby and the gang would explain the solution and prove that the guy they caught in the costume red-handed did it. The villain would then utter these words, cursing his ill-fated encounter with Mystery Inc., without which his plan would have succeeded, as it was otherwise perfect.

While the Scooby-Doo series is primarily an animated work, there have been live-action and CGI adaptations of the series as well. And while the CGI Scoob! movie was better received than the live-action movies, no adaptation has managed to come even close to the charm of the original animated series,...

Despite receiving mixed-to-negative reviews, the live-action Scooby-Doo movies remain beloved among fans of the Mystery Inc. gang. A threequel appears to be off the table, but Variety (via Toonado.com) is reporting that a new live-action TV series is in the works and heading to Netflix.

No plot details have been revealed, but the one-hour drama project is nearing a deal at the streamer with a script-to-series commitment. Based on the classic Hanna-Barbera cartoon of the same name, Warner Bros. Television is producing the project with Josh Appelbaum and Scott Rosenberg (Cowboy Bepop) serving as writers and executive producers.

André Nemec and Jeff Pinkner will also executive produce under their Midnight Radio banner, while Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter, and Leigh London Redman will take on the same role through Berlanti Productions.

Berlanti is best known for his DC TV work and was behind Netflix's recently released Dead Boy Detectives. He's...

Ever since its debut in 1969, Scooby-Doo has become one of the most treasured cartoons ever. From its unique narrative to iconic storylines, the cartoon show has spanned several episodes, series, movies, toys, games, and many more, with its characters and mythos a permanent part of popular culture.

The Scooby-Doo Gang

Even though there are several cartoons and animated series that enjoy similar popularity, what makes the adventures of Scooby-Doo and his friends is the countless crossovers they have had. From The Dark Knight to the Justice League and even Jensen Ackles’s Supernatural, the characters have had many memorable crossovers. But perhaps the best one was when they collaborated with WWE starring John Cena for an epic WrestleMania mystery.

Scooby-Doo characters have had many epic adventures together, from being trapped in a computer game to traveling to a zombie island.

Scooby-Doo movies range from campy live-action to spooky direct-to-video gems for all fans to enjoy. From battling ghost pirates to solving video game mysteries, the gang's adventures offer fun for all ages. The best Scooby-Doo movies blend humor, history, horror, and heart, creating memorable cinematic adventures.

With so many movies in the Scooby-Doo franchise, it can be hard to pick out the good ones from one you’d rather hide from, just like when Shaggy spots a ghost and makes a run for it. From direct-to-video releases to big-budget Hollywood treatments, the Mystery Inc. gang has had countless feature-length adventures where they investigated crooked businessmen looking to get ahead, as well as genuine supernatural threats plaguing unsuspecting townsfolk. Over the years, Scooby, Shaggy, and the rest of the gang have taken on all types of foes and delivered some truly spooky adventures.

The earliest days of Scooby-Doo feature-length adventures included...

The Scooby-Doo movies from the late '90s to early 2000s are integral to pop culture and are filled with nostalgia, making fans of all ages happy. The live-action Scooby-Doo projects provide insight into the origin and early days of Mystery Inc., featuring the original members solving their first mysteries as teenagers. The Scooby-Doo movies often deliver thrills, chills, and laughs on a bigger level than the TV series, while still capturing what fans love most about the classic cartoons.

The Scooby Gang has been around for decades, bringing in new generations of fans with each TV series and all the best Scooby-Doo movies. Many fans reminisce about the older animated films that made them fall in love with Scooby when they were younger. The later Scooby-Doo movies have a ton of heart and were released in the late '90s to early 2000s before the release of What's New Scooby-Doo?...

Freddie Prinze Jr. regrets his Scooby-Doo movie appearances. Prinze Jr. appeared as Mystery Inc. team leader Fred in both 2002’s live-action Scooby-Doo and its 2004 follow-up Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed. As of yet, there has not been a third sequel announced for the live-action Scooby-Doo movies, with the original threequel scrapped following its predecessor's poor performance, though the franchise is expanding due to recent animated film Scoob! and the animated series Velma.

Now, Prinze Jr. reveals to People that he would not return to Scooby-Doo were there to be another film. The Fred actor chalks this up to bad on-set experiences consisting of dishonesty from the studio and a lack of “straightforwardness", even going so far as to say he regrets appearing in the first two movies. See what Prinze Jr. shared below:

"It wouldn't be for me, man. There was too much bait-and-switch on the first one. The studio...

James Gunn is taking over as the co-ceo of DC Studios, and the filmmaker's remaining commitments to Marvel will have him stretched between the two rival superhero camps for a time. Gunn is one of the business's premiere comic book movie directors, and his name is inextricably attached to Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy franchise. Gunn has worked under both the Marvel and DC banners in the past, making him one of the few directors to lead films for both production houses.

DC has initiated a major corporate shakeup since Warner Bros merged with Discovery in April and named David Zaslav CEO of the enterprise. Zaslav removed numerous executives, and the turnover was stamped with the recent exit of DC Films President Walter Hamada. Hamada was frustrated by the scuttling of the Batgirl film just before it crossed the finish line; since his departure, the company axed billions of dollars...

The Human Condition (Criterion) Masaki Kobayashi’s epic (574 minutes) adaptation of Junpei Gomikawa’s six-volume novel was originally made and released as three separate films (1959-61), and is rightfully regarded as a landmark of Japanese cinema.

Four-disc set bonuses include: Interview with Kobayashi; Interview with Nakadai; Featurette; Trailer; Essay by critic Philip Kemp. Widescreen. Dolby 3.0 surround.
