A remake of the brilliant 80’s movie The Monster Squad is in the works, with Rob Cohen (The Fast And The Furious) set to produce and possibly direct the film. The original was one of the first scripts penned by the hugely talented Shane Black (Lethal Weapon, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang) and centred on a gang of kids who were like the younglings from The Goonies only cooler. When Dracula came back to life and brought a gang of monsters with him, the Monster Squad were the only thing standing between him and the end of the world. Cohen said "I am talking with Paramount about the ownership rights, we just found out that because of all the different companies being bought and sold, (it was so hard to do) but we believe all the rights are back at Paramount. I have been waiting to finish this (The Mummy 3) film, to really start the talks about remaking it. Maybe I would direct, maybe someone else with me producing. I really think highly of that that film... I mean, how great is it with The Mummy, the Wolfman, The Creature from the Black Lagoon, Dracula, Frankenstein they all were in it! It would be a prime remake!" Yes, it would Rob; but just make sure you get Shane Black to write the script again and don’t cast a Nickelodeon actor in the lead role. I don’t want my childhood memories tarnished.
