WB Plans New Scooby-Doo Movie

Animated film will be produced by same team that developed recent live-action Scooby-Doo movies.

Scooby-Doo and his crime-busting pals will soon be embarking on a new animated adventure, as Warner Bros. Pictures prepares to bring the Hanna-Barbera franchise back to theaters on Sept. 21, 2018.

The film will reunite Oscar-nominated producers Charles Roven and Richard Suckle (American Hustle), who previously produced the studio’s live-action features Scooby-Doo and Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed. Joining them is Allison Abbate (The Iron Giant, Tim Burton’s Corpse Bride and Frankenweenie). The film will be directed by Tony Cervone (Space Jam, Cartoon Network’s “The Looney Tunes Show” and Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated).

“Like countless fans, I have always loved the Hanna-Barbera cast of characters," says Greg Silverman, president, creative development and worldwide production, Warner Bros. Pictures. "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.”
