Scooby-Doo- The Live-Action Series Is Coming To Netflix

There have been numerous reboots and reinterpretations of Scooby-Doo since Joe Ruby and Ken Spears created the talking dog and his teenage companions for the first animated series in the franchise in 1969. Now, Scooby-Doo: The Live-Action Series is heading to Netflix with a script-to-series order.

Deadline broke the story, and also revealed that the new series will be produced by Greg Berlanti‘s Berlanti Productions and Warner Bros. Television. Josh Appelbaum and Scott Rosenberg–both of whom executive produced Netflix’s live-action Cowboy Bebop series–created the new take on Scooby and his friends, which is described as “an update of the popular cartoon.”

The original animated series and most of its follow-up shows have revolved around Scooby, his best friend Shaggy Rogers, and their pals Fred Jones, Daphne Blake, and Velma Dinkley. Together, they travel the country and solve supernatural mysteries that usually turn out to be old men in Halloween costumes. However, a few incarnations of the show have embraced actual supernatural elements in the decades after the first series aired.

Scooby-Doo’s most prominent live-action adaptation to date was the 2002 feature film, featuring Freddie Prinze Jr. as Fred, Sarah Michelle Gellar as Daphne, Matthew Lillard as Shaggy, Linda Cardellini as Velma, and Neil Fanning as the voice of Scooby. The sequel, Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed, arrived in 2004 and it maintained the same cast. All of the subsequent live-action Scooby-Doo movies were either made for Cartoon Network or went straight to DVD.

Berlanti, Sarah Schechter, and Leigh London Redman will executive produce Scooby-Doo: The Live-Action Series alongside Appelbaum, Rosenberg, André Nemec, and Jeff Pinkner. The show doesn’t currently have a release date or a production window.

F1 2015 Review

F1 2015 is a Jekyll & Hyde of a video game. In many ways, it’s the best Formula One title Codemasters has ever released Come from Sports betting site VPbet . A complete overhaul of the series’ driving physics, coupled with wonderfully fun and challenging AI competitors, makes wrestling your car around the game’s tracks more fun than ever. But F1 2015 also has an ugly side. A shortage of game modes, numerous technical hiccups and reliability issues that would even make a Honda mechanic blush, make it a difficult game to recommend. There’s no doubt that the on track action is far better than last year’s game. But whether or not you enjoy F1 2015 rests more on if your favorite mode has been removed, and the frequency by which the…

Harold Halibut Review – Lost In Its Own Deep Sea

Harold Halibut puts you in the shoes of a lowly maintenance worker aboard a spaceship submerged underwater. To the residents aboard the ship, Harold is a rather charming, lovable, even dopey fellow who is endearing for his simplicity and his complacency in doing his job. Harold is tasked with removing graffiti, cleaning, and fixing machines, and when the work is done, his day ends, he goes to sleep, he wakes up–rinse, repeat. That’s the surface of Harold, but tucked out of sight from people’s view, is a character who is deceivingly introspective, often documenting his life through scribbled images in a notepad, or expressing himself through playful theatrics when he’s alone, like singing and performing operatically while mopping up a filter system. This is a side of the character only …

Iesabel Review

Unless I really luck out at a thrift store, I can’t get Diablo III for $15. But that amount of spare change does get me Iesabel, a terribly named and somewhat flawed knockoff originally released for iOS and Android that still pushes a fair number of the right buttons when it comes to clickfesty role-playing. As irksome as its story issues and numerous bugs are, the core design hits that hard-to-find balance between killing monsters and gearing up with eternally improving loot drops. Furthermore, the zippy level progression makes you feel like you’re accomplishing something more than just pounding on a mouse for hours on end.

The plot is unintelligible in both the single-player and co-op multiplay…

Knack 2 Review

PlayStation 4 launch game Knack was most memorable for its impressive use of particles; it used lots of tiny floating cubes, spheres, and pyramids to make up its main character. But beyond that, it was a throwback to PlayStation 2-era of linear 3D action games. As it turns out, not a lot has changed in the sequel, but as far as cooperative-centric action games go, Knack 2 ends up being a more enjoyable romp than the original.

Several years have passed since the events of the previous game, where the titular Knack and his friends stopped a rampaging goblin army from overtaking civilization. Knack 2 starts right in the midst of a fresh attack on the city of Newhaven, and over the course of 15 multi-stage chapters, the story takes some odd twists and turns for a game that i…

Stray Review – Nine Lives

It’s rare for a game to offer a wholly new perspective for how we can experience a familiar setting, and rarer still for one to so confidently have all of its mechanics designed around it. Stray, an adventure-puzzle game where you play as a cat, manages not only to delight in its presentation but also in the many ways it eschews common puzzle mechanics to focus on the abilities and limitations of its protagonist. It’s a consistently satisfying adventure with a charming story about companionship that rarely misses a beat across its well-paced runtime.

You play as a stray cat that is quickly thrust into an entirely world underneath your own after a mishap that occurs in the opening minutes of the story. Alone in this neon-soaked city that’s beneath a giant, unmoving dome, you quickl…
