Platinum Dunes Behind Monster Squad Remake
Source: Shock Till You Drop
March 18, 2010
Old news first: It's been over a year since Rob Cohen - out promoting his third Mummy film - revealed that he was actively working with Paramount to remake The Monster Squad. Cohen was a producer on the original directed by Fred Dekker.It's been quiet since then...
Now the fresh news: Deadline is reporting that Cohen's efforts live on. And we can confirm Platinum Dunes - Michael Bay, Brad Fuller and Andrew Form - is going to produce! Dunes, as I'm sure you're well aware, produced The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Friday the 13th and A Nightmare on Elm Street remakes. This is sure going to ruffle some feathers.
A writer is now being sought. We've got a call in to Dunes for more details.
The Monster Squad, written by Shane Black and Dekker, was released in '87 and told of a monster-lovin' group of kids who side with the Frankenstein monster and must do battle with Dracula, the Wolfman, the Mummy and the Gill-Man.
