Freddie Prinze Jr. is one of those stars of the 2000s that no one forgets, someone who currently does not have much of an impact in the entertainment industry but who is remembered for his previous work. More than twenty years ago he took the role of Fred in the movies of Scooby DooHowever, the memories he has of the first are not kind. For People magazine, the actor admits that it was a bitter experience and that he would never accept being involved in a third film in the franchise.

Based on the popular animated television series of the same name, Scooby-Doo (30%) hit theaters in 2002. It follows a group of teenage friends who used to solve mysteries together in their youth, but broke up after a big fight. When an eccentric businessman offers them a great job on a remote island, where they must investigate a series of strange occurrences, the group reunites and heads to the island. There they discover that a supernatural force is at work and face numerous dangers as they try to uncover the truth behind the island’s mysteries.
In addition to Freddie Prince Jr. as Fred, the film featured performances by Sarah Michelle Gellar as Daphne, Matthew Lillard as Shaggy, Linda Cardellini as Velma, and Neil Fanning Like the voice of Scooby-Doo. It’s an interesting mix of live action and animation, and it’s a fun take on the original cartoon series. But although many people who were children back then keep her in her heart, Freddy It’s not in the same tune. This was what she responded to People when he was asked about the possibility of making a third film, especially now with the nostalgia boom:

It wouldn’t be for me, man. There were too many lies in the first movie. The studio was not honest with me in any way, shape or form. They were not clear. I’ve been on two jobs that I’ve regretted doing, and Scooby was one of them. I’m a very honest guy… when I’m lied to, you’re dead to me. I don’t trust you anymore. I’m telling you, never again. So some of those people would still have to be involved if it was remade. And that’s not a business I want to get involved in.
The 47-year-old actor has a somewhat different take on Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Loose (21%), a 2004 sequel that was less well received than its predecessor. Time has shown Freddy that many people appreciate that second part and that at least that effort has been worth it.
I didn’t fully appreciate Scooby until I saw him and the kids came up to me, like, ‘Oh my gosh. And when I was able to appreciate the experience through their souls, because that’s what they’re doing, they’re taking their souls, ‘When I was a kid, I saw this and I made my dad watch it 30 times,’ and they’re sharing their life, that it’s your soul, right? Then all of a sudden I was like, ‘Hey man, we did good. We got it right, there are millions of legitimate people who love this movie. It wasn’t the movie I wanted to make, but I appreciate it and it made me change my perspective on it.
During recent years there has been an increase in animated productions for the Scooby-Doo characters, the most recent being Velma (54%), a controversial animated series launched for the HBO Max platform.
