Look everyone - Freddy Prinze Jr. is still making crappy movies! Production Weekly reports that the Scooby Doo star has signed on to star in Dick and Jane vs. the World. Pic, which is written, directed by and starring Vanessa Parise will tell of two roommates who fall in love and then decide to write a manifesto that details their rules for life. However, Jane has a really big secret and, by hiding it from Dick, she breaks rule # 1: "Be Honest".

Okay, well I'll be honest instead - I don't need Freddy Prinze Jr. telling me his rules for life. In fact, if I were to write a manifesto, the first rule would probably go something like this: "Don't watch any film that includes Freddy Prinze Jr. somewhere amidst its cast." I'd imagine rule number two would have something to do with the fact that I'm sick of the names Dick and Jane and wish someone would change it up. Lou and Gina? Augustus and Sunshine? Help me out here.

While Parise is also acting in the film, it hasn't been said if she'll be playing the role of Jane, though it appears she will be. Shooting will begin this May in Los Angeles.

Even though at least one member of the Scooby Doo gang is down for another go-round, that may not be enough to get a third film into theaters. Linda Cardellini, who plays Velma in the film, told MTV that she "had the time of my life making those movies." Heck, all that time spent with Freddie and Sarah Michelle would have me jumping through happy hoops as well. She adds, "Every six months or so, I hear a whisper or a murmur that there will be another [sequel]."

Velma's in, so what's the problem? Well, it appears as if everyone else (Sarah Michelle Gellar, Freddy Prinze Jr., Matthew Lillard and writer James Gunn) have all jumped ship, leaving this one seemingly without enough star power for a theatrical release. So if there is another film (Scooby Doo 3: Velma and Scooby search for their missing cast members?), it's more than likely that Warners will continue the series through the ever-evolving straight-to-dvd market.
