We have word today that the 80’s Horror Film Monster Squad will be getting a remake. Cheers to Bloody-Disgusting for the following news:
This afternoon SpookyDan conducted an exclusive one-on-one interview with Rob Cohen, director of Universal’s upcoming The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor, who revealed some interesting news about Fred Dekker’s classic ’87 movie. Cohen tells Bloodyy-Disgusting that Paramount Pictures has acquired the remake rights to Monster Squad, which followed a group of kids hunting down Dracula and his minions who are attempting to take over the world. Cohen also reveals that he is planning to produce the remake, but does not intend on directing.
Cohen is one of the original executive producers of The Monster Squad, directed by Fred Dekkar in 1987.
I have no knowledge of this film and am seeking some of horror fans to help me on this one. What are your thoughts on Monster Squad, and would you welcome a remake?
I do think it’s cool that Cohen is producing the film for the second time. He enjoyed the experience so much that he desires to do it again! It will be neat to see how this plays out with the same producer on board. I will have to get my hands on the original film before the remake premiers to satiate this curiosity.
