Monster Squad remake? Will Wolf Man still have nards? I dunno... Updated with a comment from Fred Dekker
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. It's not a surprise I'm the one posting this as I'm the resident Monster Squad fanatic around these parts.
It was only a matter of time before the powers that be decided to remake Monster Squad. If it had stayed the childhood favorite not on DVD or Blu-Ray we might be able to keep it, but the trade-off of the DVDs moving like hotcakes and the film getting a second life is that there's now a perception of money in the franchise... and they're not wrong. I'm sure it's a sound business decision? I mean, a kids adventure movie with classic monsters is a great concept.
Deadline's Mike Fleming broke the news that Paramount is moving on a remake with original Squad producer Rob Cohen eye-balling the director's chair this time out.
The big question is what kind of Monster Squad movie could possibly be made in this studio environment? There's not going to be the same edge... don't forget that original director Fred Dekker co-wrote the script with Shane Black. The script to the '80s movie is sharp, funny and edgy for the concept. It's also filled with genuine love and nostalgia for the original Universal monsters. I don't know if a movie like that is going to come out of the studio system today.
This is an uphill battle to say the least. We gotta see who writes and who ends up truly directing, but if it's Cohen I don't think I could get excited for it.
UPDATE:
Quint here again with a little comment I received from original Squad director and co-creator Fred Dekker regarding the proposed remake:
It'd be one thing if another filmmaker wanted to soil my sandbox... but if it weren't for Rob Cohen, the original movie would never have been made. So I don't begrudge him wanting to play in his own sandbox. I wish him well, and thank him for the opportunity he gave me in the first place.
Obviously that's a very political statement and Fred's a very nice guy in general, so I don't doubt its sincerity. But as a fan, I don't know if 2010 Rob Cohen is the right guy to helm this project if the studio is hellbent on forcing a remake. They need someone hungry, someone fresh and someone with a real, deep-rooted respect and love for the classic monsters to even give this flick a chance.
I've never met Cohen, he could have that love in place, but it doesn't sit well with me that he wants to direct a remake to a movie he produced 23 years ago.
We'll see where this one goes, yeah?

King of the Wild Frontier! <P> Don't give a shit about this news. Came to the conclusion not to long ago that remakes dont ruin the originals, and they arent worth a shit. Like cover songs. You can waste your time listening to them and hating them the whole way through, or you can just outright ignore them. They are cover songs after all. Nothing original or new.
-
I hope they make this "dark" and "edgy" lol
-
Because what is really extraordinary about the original, is that the kids actually act like kids. They swear, they are kind of assholes to one another, and they feel honest. And while the plot is incredibly thin, it's got that heart that actually makes it seem like someone cared and it's got really great practical monster effects. No fucking way do any of those things happen in any modern remake.
-
....'Van Helsing' coming....
-
The original is feeling its age. Go for ordinary looking kids with real, suited monsters and you never know.
-
will consists of The triumphant return of Macaulay Culkin and Corey Feldman back to the big screen! Also we can't go wrong with the slapstick antics of Micheal Cera and the comic relief of Bobb'e J. Thompson, (the lil' potty mouth kid from Role Models)

Has been said in every fucking AICN thread related to this film. Why stop now...

It holds up really well. And I never knew Shane Black co-wrote it. They use the word 'faggot' like five times in the first twenty minutes. Ahh, the 80's were such a simpler time..

There is no way this will get made. And if it does, it will forever taint our fond memories.

In the studio environment? I know how this will be/has been pitched already. "This time..........the KIDS are the monsters!" You'll get a TWILIGHT leader boy, a Harry Potter With Attitude witch girl, a ghost dork best friend, a metal-loving werewolf, an Asian kid who is a demon/devil who can do martial arts and is indestructible, and they'll all have to fight AWEEEEYEAAHHHHHHHHHH awesome versions of the old monsters who will not resemble the old monsters at all. Come on. You couldn't figure that out? Can't you even see the poster now? THIS TIME...WE'RE THE MONSTERS.

Macaulay leads his Monster Squad into the Cloverfield's monsters lair in an attempt to slay it with Sauron's ring that Micheal Cera confiscated from Gollum after literally talking him to death while apologizing at the same time. <p> The group of unlikely heroes quietly approach a Cloverfield Monster who is sound asleep and unaware of they're presence. <p> Macaulay reaches into his backpack which reads "I'm the real Kevin" on it, fumbling frantically for his weapon of choice. <p> Corey Feldman is shadowing him along with the other two, they are all afraid but find courage to push forward. <p> Dripping in sweat and pissing himself, Cera makes a sound... <p> Micheal Cera: UMM, UMMM--excuse me guys? I'm terribly sorry, But I-I don't think I'm going to make it. You see, I pissed myself and it's quite wet and I I I think I better go clean myself up. <p> Corey Feldman: (Who is obviously irritated and angry from last night's coke binge) Shhh! Shhh! Shut up! What're trying to do? --get us killed? <P> Bobb'e J. Thompson: Yeah shut up! You acting like a BITCH! <p> Finally Macauley pulls a slingshot from his bag and arms it with a smooth shaped rock. <p> Corey Feldman: What're doing? What is that? A rock? <p> Macalay Culkin: Not just any rock, it's my lucky rock.... It's gotten me out of sticky situations a bunch of times! <p> Corey Feldman: Are you serious? What happened to the ring? <p> Bobb'e J. Thompson: You mean that cheap ass ring that was in white boy's bag? Man I pawned that shit and bought some boobies! <p> Macaulay Culkin: Don't worry, I got the situation under control. (Pulling the slingshot back and aiming it toward the huge monster) I'm gonna hit him right between the eyes. <p> Corey Feldman: Wait a minute: (Grabbing Macaulay's arm) You're going to take on a 10,000 pound, 50 foot tall monster with a FUCKING ROCK? AND IT'S NOT EVEN A CRACKROCK? --ARE YOU INSANE? As he pulls in closer towards Macaulay's face which was hidden somewhat in the shadows. <p> Hey! You're not Haim! What is this shit--I'm outta here! I'm calling Bonaduce, he's been itching to kick your ass! (stomping away furiously) Fuckin' hack! <p> Suddenly, our Heroes are frozen in they're tracks by the abrupt slamming of a door. <p> Bobb'e J. Thompson: (eyes bucked) Did you hear that? <p> Micheal Cera: If you mean the abrupt closing of a door that has no place inside a cave with a fairly large creature in it that would have no use for a door then yes, I heard that. <p> Suddenly a television sitting angled off in a corner of the cave pops on and the Jigsaw puppet appears. <p> Jigsaw: Hello, Macaulay, Corey, I want to play a game. Up until now, you have spent your lives among the dead, piecing together what's left of your careers. Sulking about the death of Micheal Jackson and Corey--Corey? I'm sorry which one are you? It doesn't matter. <p> You're good at this because, you, like them, are also dead. Dead on the inside. You identify more with a cold corpse than you do with a living human. I know Corey, I saw the sex tape you made at the city morgue. <p> Corey Feldman: Hayyy! I was lonely! I had no one to hold! YOU'RE NOT MY JUDGE! <p> (Everyone in the room looks disgusted and slowly step backwards, separating themselves from Feldman.) <p> Jigsaw continues: I believe you want to rejuvenate your careers, I can give you a choice. I can offer you roles in Judd Apatow Comedies. By the time this tape is finished, you will have one minute to find a way out. At the end of that minute... An electric charge will run underneath the Cloverfield monster and awaken him. You should know better than anyone, what happens then. There is a single key that will unlock the door, that the Paranormal Activity demon skillfully closed. <p> Macaulay, Corey, It is right in front of you. Hiding in the stomach of one of you-- <p> (Pointing in the direction of Micheal and Bobb'e ) <p> who have worked with Apatow last. All you have to do Macaulay and Corey is reach in and take it. But do it quickly, the acid will dissolve the key in a matter of seconds. Is it Cera or the lil' potty mouth kid from Role Models, Make your choice. <p> Before Jigsaw can finish his last sentence Corey Feldman has already furiously stabbed Bobb'e J. Thompson to death and searched through his butchered remains. <p> Corey Feldman: Well, sigh (wiping blood and sweat from his brow), It wasn't him. Let's see what frail boys holdin'. <p> The scene fades out with Corey Feldman holding a knife and Macaulay Culkin approaching Micheal Cera clinching his face with both hands screaming <p> Macaulay Culkin : Not bad.. you need to work on your pitch, here let me help... <p> Fade to black

We need a big screen, A list director and writer to remake 'IT' and stay true to the Universal Monsters as killers it protrayed. But Never EVER Never let King write the screenplay. Word.

Original is a timeless classic with balls. Kids cursing (like kids in real life do) and kids shooting guns and smoking. U can't recapture this magic. This pisses me off. I love this film with all my heart

Montage at the end all the kids are jumping to get the pic of the topless babe from frankienstien including her brother patrick!! That was the only wtf moment. He wanted to see his sisters tits? Lol I love this film

is what films are they going to remake in another 20 years? Very little original material is coming out of Hollywood, are they just going to remake the remakes? Probably. <p> Here is the problem fellow movie geeks: When the original Studio System went down it was replaced by a battle between the new Hollywood Auteurs (Coppola, Scorcese, Spielberg, etc...) and the Corporations that purchased the Studios and still had no idea what they were doing. Which is why we had a decade of incredible films in the 70's (easily Hollywoods best decade) as the auteurs got free reign to do what they wanted. Then STAR WARS happened and the corporations that had purchased the studios realized a great genre movie could make a shit-ton of money. This created a perfect alchemy: auteur filmmakers that wanted to change the system mixed with the corporation-owned studios that wanted to repeat the success of STAR WARS. And we got...........the 80's. Movie geek heaven, and the perfect blend between art and commerce. It can never be like that again. <p> The way it works now is the studios take a known property, hire a music video director, television commercial director, or SFX guy that can give it a slick look but is no storyteller. Then they expertly promote it (which is what they have gotten truly good at). But no REAL filmmakers are in control anymore. With a few exceptions of course, a few interesting things have slipped through the cracks in the last two decades.

i would have to say that Cohen directing a remake of The Monster Squad feels fishy; like i'm going to end up watching his take of the movie and it'll be similar to watching the anchor bay edition of 'Night of the Living Dead' where J. Russo shot 'new' footage for insertion. it's out of our hands; i'm just asking that it not be completely child-safe 'cause the original had nards and the new one better have some nards too... -n
-
<p>I loved THE MONSTER SQUAD when I was a kid. We didn't use the word nards in England and I had no idea what they where saying. Adults may have known, but I thought they were saying either norks (but that was a word for tits) or nads (as that was a word for balls, but it didn't sound like that was the word they were saying).</p><p>I have no idea if the movie is actually good at all as it is up there with THE GOONIES as being one of the movies that I wont watch in case it is a massive disappointment.</p><p>I have a 6 year old son now though, maybe it is time to show him THE MONSTER SQUAD and THE GOONIES. What does everyone think?</p>
-
first: only time i ever heard 'nards' used was in The Monster Squad. only time anyone i knew ever used 'nards' were referencing that movie. secondly, you're on to something. The Monster Squad technically was of "The Goonies Meet Frankenstein" spirit. Then again, when watching The Goonies film you can also see how it draws a lot of direct influence from Robert Altman's M*A*S*H...i could be wrong, i suppose.
-
A Wolfman has nards.....

This time let Shane direct it. You know it makes sense.
-
...I've got two young daughters and they both were extremely fidgety for the first fifteen minutes but soon as it got going they were hooked. When Frankie-Stein goes into the vortex they were both in tears. Such a great film and in my top ten of 1980's kid's movies.

<p>Thanks electronegativity. I didn't know that most people will have been confused by the word Nards. I remember my friends having the same opinion as me, but I assumed that was because we were English.</p><p>workshed, maybe I will get a copy and try him out with it. I could make a double feature with that and THE GOONIES. Hopefully they will both hold up to my memories of how amazing they were when I watched them as a kid.</p>
-
Now I'm not saying Sommers should do this (Although maybe he should get Paul Weitz and Brian Hedland to work on another "Van Helsing"...), but when it comes to monsters, Cohen partially fucked up the "Mummy" series. However, Cohen DID also work with Richard Roxburgh in "Stealth", and (As this probably wouldn't happen, but it'd be cool) it would be nice to see him do another variation on Drac. Anna out. :)
-
I almost don't want to buy the Blu-rays so they don't think they can make $ off a new BTTF movie.
-
is if there is no cgi and walter groggins stars as every monster and also he stars as the team fighting the monsters. So essentially its Groggins vs Groggins. Hes the man you know so its justified

I bet we get a black kid in the best friend role, Roddy doesn't smoke and there is no fat kid. I also can't see the kids using guns either. This is a bad idea.

in January of this year, I thought it was really cool, it almost seemed like a satire/subversion of 80's kids movies what with all the swearing and the gratuitous yet awesome shot of one the kid's sister in her pink underwear, it's a crying shame I never saw it as a kid because I would have freakin loved it

Rob Cohen is one of the worst 'name' directors around...
by Stegman84
Not only is he incredibly generic, with no real sense of scope, vision or style, he has only gotten worse with age. He's the epitome of a man just pointing the camera and doing a job without passion or enthusiasm, and his films suffer for it. At least back in the day he mustered some enthusiasm and energy for some of his work, but I haven't seen anything approaching that from him in a long time now. He is directorial Ratner-Breed, and we should kill him and his kind before they spread.

I piss all over this filth. It's sad to say my childhood....
by Dr. Samuel Loomis
is beyond fucking raped.
-
I think people that have a deep love for this film are the same ones that say "Goonies was the BESTEST FILM EVAAAAH!"</p><p>Essentially, both film consist of kids runnign around screaming while decidedly unfunny things happen around them. I ADORE Universal monsters but I can't be bothered to spend the $8 it would cost to buy this Blu-ray at Walmart. THAT'S how completely retarded Monster Squad is.</p><p>So unless Cohen can have a HUGE comeback from the shitstain that was Mummy 3 and create a Universal monster film that doesn't have kids running around screaming throughout, I have approximately ZERO fucking interest in this remake. In fact, I hope it's total shit just to piss your rummy ass off. :)
-
Remake the fucking GATE! Now THAT was some badass shit! And Stephen Dorf isn't running around screaming like some pint-sized fuckin' Abbot and Costello!
-
He started off pretty good. Dragon: The Bruce Lee story is a good fuckin' movie! I don't know how truthful it is and I frankly don't give a shit.</p><p>Dragonheart wasn't too bad. Yes Dennis Quaid's voice was bizarre and the last few minutes with the stars reflected in his eyes and all that happy horseshit was stupid, but overall, good film.</p><p>Daylight is a taught little action film. Wasn't quite the second comeback Sly was hoping for, but I really like that film.</p><p>Most people think The Fast & The Furious is the best in the series. I just might think it's the worst, but he does deserve kudos for the slick-assed way he filmed the first race. Why he didn't do the rest that way, I don't know.</p><p>XXX was almost entirely crap. The action was bizarre and completely unrealistic. Vin's lines are mostly stupid. The only thing I really liked about it was Asia Argento's uber whore.</p><p>Stealth was garbage barely worth mentioning, except to say it was garbage.</p><p>And Mummy 3 I already stated was nothing but diarhea dripping down his leg.</p><p>Beware folks, I don't know why this hasn't been mentioned anywhere, but he is actively developing Mummy 4: Rise of teh Azteks! No I'm not fucking kidding. Go check out IMDB.

Wasn't there a raping of Pogue's script for DRAGONHEART as well
by Monkey_King
Charles Edward Pogue wrote two great scripts for DRAGONHEART and KULL THE CONQUEROR. Both films suffered from rewrites due to uncreative suits or Directors. KULL suffered horribly with it's new 'Star Warsy' dialogue, while DRAGONHEARTs ending and more was changed. At least it was popular enough to get a DtV sequel/prequel.
