youtu.be/upyhCqgBO4AThis brings the count to 3, including Holiday Haunt and the one Cole Rothcker worked on (possibly the Krypto crossover)

Update: so the movie is “Scooby-Doo And The Haunted High Rise” which was listed on Amazon Uk, as Doo posted in the Movies thread.

No relation to Krypto confirmed at this moment. He worked as the Assistant Production Manager on the first Halloween Guess Who (Trick Or Treat) of the two they worked on.

He worked on Haunted High Rise, not Krypto

Maybe Krypto was just held back to 2023 now that we know it wasn't Krypto which was canceled.

Well that's sad. What the heck is going on over at WB? Is this all because of the penny pinching Discovery guy?

Well that's sad. What the heck is going on over at WB? Is this all because of the penny pinching Discovery guy? Probably. So much weird stuff is going on in the world right now I can't even keep up. The world economy is sinking and artificial intelligence is being used by governments now. None of this is sustainable. www.lockheedmartin.com/en-us/capabilities/autonomous-unmanned-systems.htmlI think it's very possible that film companies are losing a lot of money after hiring and spending during the Covid streaming boom. Even Ted Turner, who saved Scooby and marketed the franchise to my generation, made one bad merger and that was it for him. He lost his own channels. Unionization in the industry is also driving up the cost to produce a film, which is good for the artists but bad for the production costs. It's hard to say if this Discovery merger was good or bad, but the economy is terrible and changes in the Scooby franchise do seem to follow mergers. www.google.com/amp/s/amp.cnn.com/cnn/2022/09/28/economy/recession-global-economy/index.html

AI has been around for ages, I did my masters degree in AI around 30 years ago and it was alreay a well established field then, albeit with a lot of things 'just 10 years away' and nothing like the computing power needed to deliver.

I didn’t even know about this project till now or the other canceled projects, this sucks. Scooby projects we’re doing just fine before they got baought by this lame company, now I have no idea if will ever get another Scooby project past Velma again, funny they keep the one a good portion of the fandom actually wanted canceled.

I think WB is just trying to get tax credits. They cancelled a release for a different movie franchise and refuse to release it, from what I was told they can call the production budget a "loss" and cut tax liability. Even when it's in Pre-production there's writers, story boards etc...That can all be written off. And since t wasn't fully produced...they save that money. I expect that flick, and Haunted Holiday to be released end of this year to generate added revenue without the overhead associated with either film since they were written off already.

I don't know how tax write offs work but this is an interesting theory.

While i'm not up-to-date on everything is there proof the DTVs have any tax-writeoff connection? Cancelling the streaming films for them makes sense because of how much money their budgets are that won't be recouped from streaming subscriptions.
DTV's are much cheaper and have a much more easier profit line. Unless there's some direct confirmation there i'd otherwise assume the reason for any of them being dropped was more because in the AT&T era they greatly increased the number of DTVs across all the libraries (whether they be Scooby, Tom and Jerry, Looney Tunes, DC comics, Adult Swim, etc) and so now budget cutting wants to cut those down
While either way it sucks it's cancelled, but there is an important distinction between a tax writeoff and just a normal budget cut. There's no legal red tape to undoing the latter like there is the former.

No, they won't. They wrote them off as tax write offs - to bring them back would incur legal response and burecratic red tape that they're not going to think is worth it. I wish it was otherwise, but unless there's another change in management some years down the road you and I just have to accept we lost out on seeing these films.

I'm not the biggest fan of new-era Scooby, but this sucks. These films seemed like really cool ideas! (better than some of the DTVs that they've done the past 10 years) Sad to see them canceled.
