S.c.o.o.b (2018)

http://www.slashfilm.com/hanna-barbe...atic-universe/

The new Scooby-Doo reboot is intended to launch a cinematic universe for the Hannah-Barbera line

Cinematic Hanna-Barbera universe... Okay, sounds fake, but okay.

Space Ghost LA movie, I'm in all the way.

Every studio wants to create a cinematic universe now with every property they own. What a weird crazy time we live in.

It's the new "everything must be trilogies".

They are finally realizing what comic companies have known for years. Crossovers sell!

Cinematic Universes are the thing now.

The Hanna-Barbera Universe is ironically one of the first shared universes ever not too distant from the original comic universes so those calling them out on it is irrelevant since they've always been a shared universe. Now I always think of their shared universes as separate, the Yogi Bear Universe being separate from say the Scooby one, etc. They only all ever interacted in the Olympic shows which were clearly non-canon. Not a fan of Scooby being in the same universe as Yogi. Yeah Cinematic Universes are becoming too popular and they aren't understanding why Marvel's worked in the first place. I've always been a fan of shared universes but it seems here they're just doing it because it's what's in and not because they understand how they can all interact.

This movie is also nothing new, we knew about for a while as well that it was the start of a new cinematic universe so nothing new there. I wonder if its live action or CG, it doesn't make too much sense for it to be live action with the other properties they want to share the universe with and cartoons well Scooby already has plenty of direct to video movies to warrant a cartoon on the theaters so maybe its CG? I personally liked the live action Scooby-Doo movies, the target audience was just for kids. The first I think is genuinely good (Scooby adaptation) while the second and Cartoon Network prequel are good for children since we're not really the target audience.

First the Universal Monsters cinematic universe... now this.

Complete failure on the part of studios to understand why Marvel's own world has worked so well.

There is also gonna be a cinematic universe with several of Hasbro's properties.

....This is really dumb

I hope Harvey Birdman is the one who brings it all together.

Well it'll be interesting to see how universe will work but as for Scooby itself I'm glad it'll finally get another proper movie. The live action ones weren't very good. They were ok I guess but could have been better.

The direct to video ones are good but they vary from one to another.

I would have preferred a connected universe for animated Hanabara TV series then live action movies.

Scoob? How refreshing. Not.

YESSS
So appropriate on so many levels.

So, is Spider-Man gonna be in this one, too?

No Scooby story will ever beat the one where he and Shaggy join the Sinestro Corps so I can't even stomach anything less.

That moment was absolute perfection.

Director confirmed, as are rewrites. Seems they got cold feet on the S.C.O.O.B title

Dax Shepard appears to be climbing inside the Mystery Machine as Variety today reports that the actor and director is in talks to co-direct the studio’s upcoming animated Scooby-Doo movie. Tony Cervone, who served as animation director on Space Jam, is also attached to the project, which has previously been referred to as S.C.O.O.B. Today’s update, however, does not make any reference to that title.

Matt Lieberman originally wrote the film, the script for which Dax Shepard will now collaborate on. Initially, the plan was to use the feature to expand the Hanna-Barbera franchise with plans to incorporate some non-Scooby-Doo characters into the plot. Whether or not that is still the plan remains to be seen, but check back for updates as they become available.

“Like countless fans, I have always loved the Hanna-Barbera cast of characters,” said WB executive Greg Silverman when plans for the feature were first announced. “As one of their most famous brand ambassadors, Scooby-Doo will take the lead in re-introducing this pantheon of enduringly popular animated stars on a grand scale with an exciting new movie.”

Renowned animation icon Dan Povenmire (Phineas and Ferb) is also bringing his creative sensibilities to the Scooby-Doo movie as an executive producer.

Dax Shepard is no stranger to working with Warner Bros. He’s writing and directing the studio’s upcoming comedy CHiPs and is also slated to star alongside Michael Pena, Vincent D’Onofrio, Adam Brody and Rosa Salazar. Look for it to hit the big screen August 11, 2017.

The new Scooby-Doo movie, meanwhile, will be a Warner Bros. Pictures presentation released under the Warner Animation Group banner. Look for it to hit theaters on September 21, 2018.

Will Scooby-Doo ever die out?
As ridiculous as it seems I almost feel like the character is going to be as immortal as Tarzan or Odysseus. They just don't stop making Scooby-Doo stuff!
