UPDATE: Rob Cohen Talks 'Monster Squad' Remake?!

Update: Rob Cohen quotes inside. 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. Read on for more info straight for the horses mouth.

The Wolfmans got Nards! What a great line" Cohen jokes with Bloody-Disgusting. "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 (third Mummy) 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!

Cohen is one of the original executive producers of The Monster Squad, directed by Fred Dekkar in 1987.

Bleurgh!!! I loved the original. Leave it at that. Rerun it in the theaters if they want people to see it again. Just lay off my precious "Re-Animator" remake hounds! At least Brian Yuzna has the good sense not to sell the rights off to it...yet. :/

Oh god! The original Monster Squad was good for WHEN it was released in the way that Bad News Bears was good for when IT was released. The remake of the Bad News Bears was HORRIBLE. I see the remake of Monster Squad being just as bad.

Well hopefully they will at least update the monters or something...read: not Universal Studio's creatures...maybe a good way to tie in Freddy and Jason...or have a zombie outbreak (with other monters of course)...maybe they should not remake but sequal or update it.

Oh, please god. Don't touch Monster Squad! The only director that I think could even get away with something like this is Del Toro, and even then its unlikely.

Keep on supporting remakes and they will keep on making them. Thus, another reason not to see the Nightmare remake. Wake up horror fans!

you wanna raid the 80's hows about jaws??? some day this will happen, jaws needs a new flick, the video game was popular, heck even a new back to the future would be fun or teen wolf, actually with the popularity of buffy the tv show i was surprised a new teen wolf didn't pop up. a movie that could stand a modern redux would be the shocker.

Ahh..Monster Squad. It's been rare that the Creature From the Black Lagoon gets to come back into films. The Wolfman, Dracula, Frankenstein, and the Mummy have been remade so many times I can't count. I really like the gill-man but I'm getting off track here. What I meant to say is - fuck this remake.

ive never been so pissed about a remake in my life, this is one of my favorite movies, as if im not mad enough about them remaking evvvverything else ...this has certainly done it for me, and of course all the asses that have never seen it are gonna be all about it once it comes out, and the real fans have to deal with the aggrevation of seeing a perfectly well made movie turn into shit, there are so many aspects of that movie that i love, its the movie that got me into horror when i was a kid...im crying inside,and i want to hit someone
