Buffy the Vampire Slayer star Sarah Michelle Gellar may actually sign up to be a part of the real Scooby Doo gang.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, Gellar and her real life boyfriend Freddie Prinze Jr. have been approached and are in talks to take on the roles of Daphne and Freddie, respectively.
Previously, rumors had been flying that Jennifer Love Hewitt was in the running for the Daphne role, which may have been, but nothing came of that. In addition, as previously reported, though not as yet officially confirmed, Christina Ricci is said to be a strong contender for the role of Velma. Rumors still continue that suggest that Mike Myers may be up for the role of Shaggy, though it would seem to be questionable casting with the rest of the cast being closer in age to the cartoon originals. Raja Gosnell (Never Been Kissed, Home Alone 3) will direct the coming film which just recently was given the green light. The film will start production in February and shoot in Australia.
