“Scooby-Doo” journalist James Gunn has revealed that their want to feature the brainy detective Velma as an “explicitly gay” character into the 2002 live-action film had been axed by studio professionals.
The revelation arrived in reaction to a tweet from an admirer on Sunday asking Gunn to “make our live-action lesbian Velma dreams be realized.”
“we attempted!” the filmmaker penned on Twitter. “But the studio simply kept watering it straight straight down & watering it down, becoming ambiguous (the variation shot), then absolutely nothing (the version that is released & finally having a boyfriend (the sequel).”
I attempted! In 2001 Velma ended up being clearly gay in my own initial script. However the studio simply kept watering it straight straight straight down & watering it down, becoming ambiguous (the variation shot), then absolutely absolutely absolutely nothing (the version that is released & finally having a boyfriend (the sequel).
“Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed,” the 2004 followup to “Scooby-Doo,” presents Patrick Wisely (Seth Green) as Velma’s (Linda Cardellini) love interest, but Gunn included that watchers can easily see deleted scenes from previous phases regarding the task that hint at Velma’s attraction to ladies.
This is simply not the time that is first as well as others involved in the franchise have spoken down on how storylines involving Velma’s sex had been omitted through the last form of the movie.
