Platinum Dunes Producing Monster Squad Remake

[KenK]

The Bad:
-Parts of this draft are trying WAY too hard to be Kevin Smith lite. The self-referencing is cute, but very "1996."
-No Frankenstein, no Gillman. Maybe due to Universal's legal hurdles?
-There's some very BIG gaps in the story's logic that makes this feel like a half-baked draft. Again, if it is legit, then I hope that Platinum Dunes has someone else working to tighten it up.

Uh, the original had some of the flimiest logic of any film I've ever seen (which is actually part of the charm of the film for me). For Christ's sake, the United States Military actually responds to a letter written to them in crayon by a seven year-old, with a full-on battalion and a tank that rolls right into the middle of town square at the end of the film!

That draft that thing was talking about I don't know if it was real or not.

I'm just saying, any arguments about logic in relation to Monster Squad have to be carefully vetted.

You could say that for almost any film really.

Yeah, 'cause any film is bound to feature the United States Military actually responding to a letter written to them in crayon by a seven year-old, with a full-on battalion and a tank that rolls right into the middle of town square at the end of the film!

I just think it was many of the jokes of the movie.

That was bad ass lol but to be fair he probably included his version of the whole book story which thinking about it would probably be even more sillier then them actually responding
