And lo, today you get both, as Warner Bros. is now hard at work on rebooting the <strong><em>Scooby-Doo</em></strong> film franchise, itself based on the animated TV series.</p> <p><span id="more-187564"></span>Warner Bros. has hired newcomer <strong>Randall Green</strong> to pen the thing, which, at this point, could be either live action, animated, or a combination of the two.</p> <p>12 years ago, the <em>Scooby-Doo</em> live action film scored nearly $300 million in worldwide box office receipts; however, its sequel, <em><strong>Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed</strong></em> didn’t do quite as well, making nearly $100 million less. So what’s that mean? Reboot, reboot, REBOOT. Right?</p> <p><strong>What do you think of the Scooby-Doo news?</strong></p> <p><em>Source: <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20140625230435/http://www.slashfilm.com/scooby-doo-reboot/" target="_blank">/Film</a></em></p> <div class="wp_rp_wrap wp_rp_plain" id="wp_rp_first"> <div class="wp_rp_content"> <h3 class="related_post_title">Related Posts</h3> <ul class="related_post wp_rp" style="visibility: visible"> <li><a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20140625230435/http://screencrave.com/2013-09-12/harry-potter-spinoff-films-coming-jk-rowling-pen-script/" class="wp_rp_title">Harry Potter Spin-Off Films Are Coming, J.K.
