We’re excited to bring a fresh take on a classic monster story and have some fun doing it.” Mitchell said, “Coming back together always feels natural, and this lets us tap into everything people love about our dynamic while trying something totally new. It’s funny, it’s scary, and it’s a great ride” (via The Hollywood Reporter).
