Doing the Doo

Sarah Michelle Gellar has been speaking to Sci-fi wire.com about her role as Daphne in Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed.

Sarah revealed that you will see Daphne go through a personal journey during the film.

"I think the first story revolved around Daphne finding her place, that same in-between [place] that I think a lot of teenagers and young adults find [themselves in], which is: Where do I fit in?

"This one is more about public image, and how, in the beginning, you find Daphne, and she is confident. She's confident because she's deriving her strength from what other people think, the press and the fans, and it's about public image. And what she soon realizes is that the public image can change. It's fickle, and you have to find your strength from within before you worry about how everyone else perceives you."

Sarah also commented that the cast and crew were a bit unsure how to pitch the original movie, but this time around they knew exactly what approach to take.

"I think... we weren't exactly sure what our niche was the first time," she said.

"Were we a movie for kids? Were we going to be a little more esoteric and go for a little bit of an older, more satirical audience? And we shot everything both ways. And it was really put together in the edit and really made for a family film. Now, coming in, you know we're coming in to make a family film. We know our characters. The story is set. And it makes it much easier to just jump into a story."

In the sequel, the Scooby gang investigate a mystery in their hometown of Coolsville. Several classic monsters from the original Scooby-Doo animated series make an appearance, and the film features the return of Jeremiah Wickles (Peter Boyle). Two new characters played by Alicia Silverstone and Seth Green also appear.
