Shane Black is interested in a Monster Squad sequel

August 18, 2016 by Gary Collinson

Shane Black is currently hard at work developing a sequel to Predator, and it looks like he’s also interested in revisiting another 80s property from his C.V., with the filmmaker discussing the possibility of a follow-up to the 1987 cult classic The Monster Squad.

“The cult surprised [me]” said Black in an interview with IGN. “I didn’t even realise it had been successful. I loved it, I had fun working on it and it was one of the first things I’d ever written. And it wasn’t just that it wasn’t a hit – it was a huge failure. No one saw it. I don’t know how on earth it caught on years later.”

On the possibility of a sequel, Black responded that: “When you say the kids are grown-up the first thing I go to is the movie, or the book really, It by Stephen King, which is about kids who fight monsters when they’re young, then as grown-ups they’re sort of beckoned and they have to return to their childhood hometown. And I think that’s kind of close to what you’re saying in a way. I don’t know how you would distance yourself from that.”

“It would be interesting to have two movies – one The Monster Squad, and one The Monster Squad and they’re 30 years apart and so are the kids; the characters have aged,” he continued. “As long as people understood that’s what we’re doing, I think that could be fun. That’s a good idea.”
