Netflix is bringing Scooby-Doo to life, I mean, live-action. If you are going to do that, you would want a real dog to play the title role, not just one created with CGI. Well, at least the producers want a living puppy. I am wondering who did the casting because it is the worst likeness since Kristen Stewart played Princess Diana.
I always thought of the cartoon talking dog being a Great Dane, but this little guy looks more like a German Shorthaired Pointer, according to a Bing visual search.
Will a dog who doesn’t look like the pup we have known for over 55 years affect us when checking out the series? I don’t know, but I would ask the people behind the Sonic the Hedgehog movie about that.
I respect them for casting a real dog, but couldn’t they find one that looks like Scooby, and not just some random brown dog? How ruff could that be?
Scooby-Doo: Origins will be released next year. The series is described as: A modern reimagining of the iconic mystery-solving group of teens and their very special dog. During their final summer at camp, old friends Shaggy and Daphne get embroiled in a haunting mystery surrounding a lonely lost Great Dane puppy that may have been a witness to a supernatural murder. Together with the pragmatic and scientific townie, Velma, and the strange, but ever so handsome new kid, Freddy, they set out to solve the case that is pulling each of them into a creepy nightmare that threatens to expose all of their secrets.
Are you going to watch, or are you barking mad with their live-action Scoob?
