Principal Photography Begins March 15 in Southern California

Original Cast & Crew Re-Team Following Cartoon Network’s 2009
Record-Setting Scooby-Doo! The Mystery Begins

New Film Slated for Fall TV/Spring DVD Release


BURBANK, CA – March 12, 2010 – Warner Premiere is in production on
Scooby-Doo! Curse of the Lake Monster, an all-new, live-action/CG
movie follow-up to 2009’s record-setting Scooby-Doo! The Mystery
Begins, it was announced today by Eva Davis, EVP and General Manager,
Warner Premiere.  The film commences principal photography on March 15
in various locations around Southern California.  The family-targeted
feature will premiere on Cartoon Network in fall 2010 and release on
DVD through Warner Home Video in early 2011.

Scooby-Doo! Curse of the Lake Monster continues the Mystery Inc.
gang’s adventures from the 2009 hit Scooby-Doo! The Mystery Begins,
which premiered as the most-watched telecast in Cartoon Network
history, and set targeted demographic records across the board.  This
new film will once again feature the familiar cast of characters in
their high school years as they continue to develop and sharpen their
combined sleuthing skills.

“After more than 40 years, the Scooby-Doo franchise continues to grow
stronger as generations of audiences embrace these timeless
characters, and that adoration has been clearly reflected in box
office, DVD sales and television ratings,” said Davis.. “These new
live-action films, with their contemporary approach, bring excitement
and thrills to an altogether new era of Scooby-Doo fans.”

Scooby-Doo! Curse of the Lake Monster finds the Mystery Inc. gang
heading toward summer jobs at a country club owned by Daphne’s uncle,
only to stumble onto strange happenings around the local lake –
including mystical moonstones, creepy characters and a Frog Monster on
the loose.  There’s mystery afoot and romance in the air that only the
fearful foursome-plus-one – Fred, Daphne, Velma, Shaggy and Scooby-Doo
– can solve in this Warner Premiere production. Warner Bros. Home
Entertainment will distribute the film on Blu-ray, DVD, OnDemand and
For Download.
