Sarah Michelle Gellar Declines Scooby Doo 3 ????

Wednesday 30 June 2004, by Webmaster

Scooby Doo 3 may have to do without a number of the original cast.

The Movie Hole website reports that although a third Scooby Doo film is likely, it will probably feature a whole new cast and crew.

Warner Bros are keen to replicate the box office success of the first two Scooby Doo films, but nobody else seems keen.

Sarah Michelle Gellar has already told the press she no longer wants to work with husband and Scooby co-star Freddie Prinze Jnr. Now Matthew Lillard, who plays Shaggy, has purportedly declined to return.

James Gunn, the screenwriter of the first two films told Movie Hole that he doesn’t want to pen a third script at the moment, and director Raja Gosnell is also not keen.

"We are probably not doing Scooby 3 right away, at least not with us. We all love Scooby, but all of us involved, including myself, Raja, Matt and the others, would like to get a couple other projects under our belts before we did anything with Scooby again," Gunn said.

But who could possibly replace Sarah Michelle Gellar in the role? Perhaps Isla Fisher, reportedly up for the role originally and given a small part in the first film, might be the new Daphne.

    YESS!! They can’t make a scooby doo 3 without SMG, so anybody will see it, i mean the movie wasn’t great, i gone for sarah to see this and i’m pretty sure a lot of people did the same...so it doesn’t gonna have millions in box office...if not sarah so they can’t make it...will be senseless!
  • This is old news. Sarah had already stated after she finished Scooby Doo Too she would not be appearing in any more of the sequels.
  • IM NOT REALLY FUSSY IF THEY MAKE ANOTHER SCOOBY DOO MOVIE......BUT IM MAINLY CURIOUS WHY SARAH DOESNT WANT TO WORK WITH HUBBY FREDDY PRINCE JR????

    Hmmm... the screenwriter for the first two movies name is Gunn. Two ’N’s.

    Coincidence? I think not.

    I am a concerned fan of Sarah’s, I have been wondering if Sarah and Freddie is having problems with their marriage or if they are going to split up. You never see the two of them in new pictures together and Freddie is never with Sarah,It is like I have seen pictures of her but she has a bodyguard. And now I readed this and this has really made me start to wonder even more. I hope that they are ok,because they looked so happy together at one time. Sarah look’s sad in alot of her pictures when with a freind.

    Concerned Freind,

    this is a good thing, scooby doo did nothing for her. it made her look like she can’t act! I think she and freddy are fine, she said a while ago she just didn’t want to work with him, she probably gets treated differently by the other actors if her husband’s around. also i would imagine she probably feels like part of a two-some instead of an individual person. i don’t think its actually anything against him.

    I’m a really big fan of sarah and honestly I don’t want her to be sad. but if I had to tell the truth I would say that I don’t like freddy for her. may be she has realised that she loves david boreanaz, ha ha ha. whatever, don’t worry people, because if things are going badly, she’ll find the way to be better. SHE’S THE BEST!
  • The comments Sarah made have been taken out of context. They don’t even directly quote her. She’s worked with Freddie on five films now, how many other husband-wife actors have done that? It’s quite hard to work with someone you have that close and emotional bond to. It can affect your relationship, so it’s best to avoid it. However, if Sarah and Freddie are having problems, it’s nobody else’s business. They’ll tell people if and when they want to. Sarah not going back to Scooby is the best news I’ve heard for a long time. I love Sarah, but could barely watch those movies.

    sarah should be in this movie because no one and i mean no one can replace her it is like if in the show friends if matthew pery aka chandlera didn’t want to be in friends any more because he did not like cortny cox aka monieca because he had to get married to her it would be so differnt and that is wot it would be like if sarah wasn’t in scooby doo 3. Sarah.m.Gellar if u read this u r my role model and by not being in scooby doo 3 u r leting me down so much

    I don’t think Scooby Doo 3 should be made if a different cast is needed. I loved the first two movies but I have a hard time watching sequels where the cast is different than the previous film.
