According to The Hollywood Reporter, a third installment of the live-action Scooby-Doo movie franchise begins shooting in Vancouver today. Unfortunately (hey, I thought the second one was a pretty faithful adaptation), the movie will be a direct-to-video release and all our favorite characters have been recast with unknowns. At least the voice of Scooby will now be performed by veteran voice actor Frank Welker, who has voiced the cartoon dog in tons of series and films and even worked on the original Scooby-Doo, Where Are You?, for which he actually played “Freddy”.
Because there are likely few people talking about Scooby-Doo 3 and there are plenty of people instead discussing the possibilities surrounding the third installment in the Batman Begins-The Dark Knight series (such as who will play Catwoman, if the character is involved), here’s a clip from the animated classic Scooby-Doo Meets Batman that combines the two properties. Man, I’d sure love to see a live-action version of this. If only Heath Ledger’s Joker wore a tree log as part of a disguise. It might have been even better than his nurse uniform scenes.
