“Scooby-Doo” Movie Premiere – Quotes From the Red Carpet

ISLA FISHER (Mary Jane)

So what’s it like to be Shaggy’s love interest in this film?
It’s fun, it really is.

Your character gets introduced into an already established group that people know. Did you feel in the least bit nervous about being the ‘new’ character?
No. I knew that when I met the director, I knew instantly that he wouldn’t let me make an idiot of himself.

Were you a fan of “Scooby-Doo” before getting the role?
Oh yeah. I grew up watching it in Australia.

How was it to work with the animated Scooby?
Well, he was animated and it was difficult to kind of relate to him – but it was great.

What’s the best part of being Mary Jane?
The best part of making this movie was being part of an institution, something that has been in people’s childhoods and is something that means a lot to a lot of people.
