Director Michael Kurinsky reveals Scoob! A Holiday Haunt is now complete — though don't expect it to see the light of day any time soon. 'I’m glad it got finished because so many people worked so hard to make something so beautiful and really great.'
A few months after it was canceled, director Michael Kurinsky reveals that Scoob! A Holiday Haunt has been completed, but still won't be released. The animated follow-up was expected to be a prequel to the 2020 animated movie reboot, which would explore the iconic Mystery Inc. gang in their younger years with Frank Welker, Iain Armitage, Ariana Greenblatt, Pierce Gagnon and Mckenna Grace all slated to reprise their roles.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY In a recent interview with Variety, Michael Kurinsky opened up about Scoob! A Holiday Haunt's cancelation. The director revealed that he has completed the movie, in spite of it being axed, but says that it doesn't mean the animated prequel will see the light of day anytime soon. See what Kurinsky explained below:
The reason we were able to finish this movie is because it was already paid for. I can’t say it was [Warner Bros] saying, 'Please finish this movie, we want you to.' I think it was more like, 'Finish the movie because we’ve paid to finish the movie.' At the end of the day, I don’t care why and how it got finished. I’m glad it got finished because so many people worked so hard to make something so beautiful and really great.
As Kurinsky notes, even though WBD allowed him and his team to complete Scoob! A Holiday Haunt, the likelihood that the film will ever see the light of day remains slim to none. The primary reason comes from the fact that, by taking a tax write-off to shelve the film in favor of releasing it, the studio would ultimately owe money should they ever try to monetize it in the future.
Unlike Batgirl before it, however, it is interesting to hear that Kurinsky and his team were allotted the opportunity to complete Scoob! A Holiday Haunt, leaving some hopeful that the studio may one day change their minds on the possibility. Even if they don't, audiences won't be hurting for Scooby-Doo-related content in the near future, with Mindy Kaling's Velma set to premiere on HBO Max in early 2020 and bring an adult-oriented approach to the franchise.
