    Archived from the IMDb Discussion Forums — Matthew Lillard


    Nathanred — 1 year ago(December 09, 2024 08:45 AM)

    It didn't.
    https://variety.com/2024/film/news/matthew-lillard-scooby-doo-flop-rejecting-dancing-with-the-stars-1236196696/
    Matthew Lillard thought his career would explode when the success of 2002’s live-action “Scooby-Doo” (the film earned $275 million worldwide) launched a franchise. The actor signed up to reprise the role of Shaggy in 2004’s “Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed” and earned the biggest payday of his career. The only way forward for his career was up. Or so he thought.
    “I thought I’d be No. 1 on the call sheet for the next 10 years of movies,” Lillard recently admitted to Business Insider. “And the reality was the exact opposite happened.”
    “Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed” was a critical dud and flopped at the box office, failing to cross the $200 million mark worldwide that the original easily cleared. The failure of the “Scooby-Doo” sequel resulted in Lillard’s career coming to a screeching halt and forced him to reprioritize his goals as an actor.

                  He is. He just hasn't gotten a lot of good roles. He can really hit the mark in emotional scenes and he's funny.

                    No he isn't, no he can't, and no he isn't.
                    Making weird faces isn't and has never been funny unless you have the mind of a child.

                              I lived in SLC around the time of this movie, huge cult following there.

                                    Case point example. Is that supposed to be Lillard being a Jim Carrey wannabe?

                                      He is but I think he's more of a "character actor". A lot of normal leading man roles wouldn't suit him.

                                        he needed to do more offbeat roles and darker/quirkier material, like Scream. He tried to go commercial with kids and teen romcom movies and failed because they are a well that runs dry.
                                        They could put him in some A24 psychological horror/drama movie like they do with other washed up 90s actors, and have a good chance at being nominated for an Oscar tho, like he always dreamed of
