Hey folks, Harry here. Ya know... Sometimes there are projects that just never ever seem to move out of development, and the SCOOBY DOO film is one of those. Developed forever and forever. They had a prefectly fun script from Craig Titley once, but then due to a studio acquisition... His script was thrown out simply because... other execs had been in charge of it, and with them gone... everything they were developing had to be shit... Right? Sigh. Then Mike Myers got his paws on it and turned in a script that the buzz is so low on that noone is willing to waste paper in getting me a draft. So now they turn to James Gunn. Well, he wrote TROMEO AND JULIET... and THE SPECIALS, a movie in the theme of MYSTERY MEN, but produced by those wacky cool guys that created FREE ENTERPRISE. I have never read this writer's work, BUT... He has got to be a child of Scooby Doo cause he was born in 1970, and no male child born in that year or 5 years either side of it, is not by definition a Scooby Doo freak. We all are. So... I look forward to his draft. Perhaps he'll get it. Of course, they could always go back to the really cool draft that they already own, but probably have never read... Nahhhh... That'd never happen. I have my fingers crossed on this, I love Scooby.
Hey Harry.
James Gunn has been hired to write Warner Bros. Scooby-Doo, which will be produced by Chuck Roven. Gunn recently did a rewrite of Spy vs. Spy for Jay Roach, and now is rewriting Scooby Doo. Mike Myers and Jay Kogan previously wrote a script for it, but withdrew after the script was rejected.
