FILM NOTES

Warner Bros. released Scooby-Doo in June 2002, bringing the beloved Hanna-Barbera animated series to live-action for the first time. Directed by Raja Gosnell, the film was a major summer release that leaned into its campy source material while attracting a broad audience. The theatrical trailer circulated widely in 35mm, making original trailer cells genuinely scarce today.

This cell captures the Daphne Blake Fighting Zarkos sequence, showing Sarah Michelle Gellar as Daphne Blake suspended near a metal cage structure on the Spooky Island set, with Sam Greco and Tim Bradbury bringing Zarkos to life above her in his distinctive masked headdress. It is a kinetic moment from one of the trailer's more memorable action beats.
