Could We Be Getting Gremlins 3D Soon?

You ARE one, mother****er.

If we can get maybe Billy and Kate as the parents of whatever bound to be new kid to have Gizmo, then I'd be cool. Then it can be a pseudo-sequel/reboot of the franchise.

Gremlins and Gizmo were like one of my favorite things growing up.

You ARE one, mother****er.

let me be the second one then. i loved when they started mutating.

Let's give Gremlins 2 some love here. I loved it when they stopped the movie, and cut to Hulk Hogan sitting in a movie theater getting p*ssed off!

Gremlins 2 was awesome. Christopher Lee, the talking Gremlin, the female Gremlin all over Robert Picardo, John Glover as Mr Clamp, the Gremlins singing 'New York, New York', The bat gremlin and spider gremlin, Gizmo going Rambo etc.

Greatness.

I had a Gremlins backpack and lunchbox in 5th grade.

I had the stuffed Gizmo and almost any of the other stuff a young kid back then would have.

Is it a coincidence that both Ghostbusters and Gremlins were released on the same day of June 8, 1984 and he we are talking about them? that is cool.

In regards to using CGI for the Gremlins I agree on it for massive groups of Gremlins when their attacking but I still prefer the use of puppets for those close ups of their pearly whites.

I definately love to see a 3rd. Film. But this isn't really much news on it happening. Just wb buying domain names which is a pretty normal move to hold web rights for sites.

I'd love for a Gremlins 3 providing they mostly used puppets (and CGI for wide/crowd scenes and perhaps sequences with very intricate movements) and Joe Dante was directing.

I always enjoyed Gremlins 2 more than the first so I'd love to see something more in keeping/tone with that too.. or perhaps some sort of a happy medium between the 2nd and more serious 1st.

This post is full of win. If they do make a part three, I hope it's puppets and it stays as satirical as possible.

cgi gremlins could work only if they use weta

baby ceasar was so adorable and cute and even looked real

 

[the_ultimate_evil]

i'd go with puppets the cgi can be used to enhance or to add to crowds, but puppets will always work better with actors

 

[terry78]

They can just do what Wild Things and Hellboy did. Provide animatronics and puppets to use for reference, but CG enhance their facial features and what not.

 

[dark_b]

Wild Things and Hellboy had characters where actors could be used. gremlins are very small.

i think what important for Gremlins is that they are ugly,dirty and wet. its important that they are wet.

GREMLINS Reboot May Kind of Sort of May Be Possibly Happening One Day

Eventually, all successful franchises will probably get a reboot. It’s simply a matter of when. The notion of rebooting Gremlins has been kicked around for a while, and Vulture is reporting that Warner Bros. is in talks with Steven Spielberg‘s Amblin Entetainment to reboot the 1984 horror comedy. Of course, there are tons of caveats: these negotiations have been on and off for years, Spielberg wants too much money, and his creative input would be required. Nevertheless, Vulture’s sources say “it might just actually come off this time.” The website didn’t specify why this time would be any different, and how anything has substantially changed.

So there you have it: a Gremlins reboot could possibly happen at some point in the future. Thankfully, this means we currently don’t have to fret at the prospect of some hacky director coming along to create CGI gremlins that lack the fun and chaotic energy director Joe Dante brought to the original films.

Exclusive: Warners Looking To Breed Gremlins Again

Bright light! Bright light! Our sources tell us that, in keeping with Hollywood’s mandated pop culture recycling program, Warner Bros. Pictures is negotiating with Steven Spielberg’s Amblin Entertainment to reboot their 1984 horror comedy, Gremlins.

We’re also told negotiations of this sort have happened several times over the years, but making Spielberg’s deal always proved too daunting a financial prospect and his involvement might simply be a requirement for making the film at all, so don’t hold your breath. Having said all of that, our sources tell us that it might just actually come off this time. This wouldn’t be something Spielberg would direct, of course – he only executive produced the original, with Joe Dante behind the camera – but it never hurts to have the Great Man’s name on your project. A Spielberg spokesman said that the appropriate executives were not available for comment. We’ll keep you updated…

They should go full-tilt horror like they originally intended.

 

[TheDreamMaster]

I still wouldn't mind this happening.
i love both films.

That said, anyone seen the fan video from youtube that someone made as an alternate scene for the DVD version of Gremlins 2, instead of the theater/video scenes with Hogan or Wayne?

[Whiskey Tango]

I expect a spineless kid-friendly movie with none of the wit or charm the original had. That and zero personality cg gremlins because "it's cheaper than puppets and we have a cash grab to shove out the door"

But maybe I'm wrong. We will see.

 

[terry78]

What would be the lesser of two evils, doing a sequel to the franchise decades later, or just rebooting it?

 

[Whiskey Tango]

I don't know. I'm not even sure why the idea rankles me so much. Normally I support remakes & reboots since I consider attempting to improve on things a worthy goal (even if they rarely succeed) and they really don't affect the originals, no matter what people say to the contrary.

I guess I'd personally prefer a sequel, as long as Galligan and maybe Cates return. And I'm sure Feldman would be up for it.

 

[Rowsdower!]

If they bring the Gremlins back, I hope they make it a big joke like they did in Gremlins 2. That is still one of my favorite movies of all time. I'm not a big fan of the first one.

 

[dark_b]

i dont have a problem if they are 100% cgi as long as they dont move very fast. they should be hyperactive but not super fast. they can not show full body shots of gremlins climbing and running.

 

[Rowsdower!]

I just want a talking Gremlin who wears glasses and sings Frank Sinatra songs. If we get that again, I'm sooooooo there.
