Horror Gremlins 3?

[Drizzle]

No matter what, I just hope they stick to a lot of practical effects and puppetry for Gizmo and the Gremlins.

That’s what Columbus is promising.

I know people were hoping for Dante but he’s 78 and hasn’t made a film in over a decade.

Columbus just worked with Amblin on The Thursday Murder Club so I can see why he’s the frontrunner (as well as the original creator).

As long as he brings his early 90s magic.

Disappointing.

Chris Columbus gives update on Gremlins 3: ‘Sequel has to be perfect’

EXCLUSIVE The acclaimed filmmaker reflects on Stephen Spielberg’s role in the original, promises no CGI mogwai, and reveals updates on The Goonies and Labyrinth sequels

Asked how he would approach the sequel in light of those changes, Columbus was clear that the mischievous monsters themselves remain the heart of the series. “Gremlins exists without actors, it’s about puppets,” he said. “For me it’s going be very difficult to work with puppets again after working with such great actors.”
And despite advances in technology, Columbus said fans can rest assured the mischievous mogwai won’t be CGI creations: “No, we would do practical puppets, yeah.”

Original Gremlins writer Chris Columbus says they "haven't cracked" Gremlins 3 yet: "There's a bunch of scripts, nothing has been approved"

Exclusive: Don't expect Gremlins 3 anytime soon

Got to give Spielberg this, no matter how close they’ve announced they’ve cracked a new Gremlins or Goonies script, it seems Spielberg sends them back at it again lol

I can't believe this is finally happening.

No Joe Dante though?

He might be retired from directing but I'd be shocked if he's not involved with this in some kind of producing role.

Oh man these movies were a huge part of my childhood. So much so The Gremlins terrified me and I had nightmares about them. But of course as I grew older began to love the movies for what they were. Gizmo was also my absolute favourite as a kid. I even named my favourite teddy bear after him.

I love the first one but the second one just takes it to a higher level IMO. It's funny to think a lot of the things it was criticized for at the time were actually ahead of their time and people would go on to love years later.

No Joe Dante really hinders my hype here

 

[DarkKnight88]

Agreed, but since Chris Columbus invented the first movie it’s the next logical choice.

I love the second film; but I’m ready for this to go back to the tone of the darker tone of the original.

He was a consulting producer on that Secrets of the Mogwai Gizmo animated series so I'm sure he'd at the very least have a similar title in this. As long as Dante is willing, I can't imagine they wouldn't ask him to be involved.

Involved is one thing, but those movies are great cause of Dante's quirky humor. Especially Gremlins 2 in that regard. So you're missing that without him being the storyteller. James Cameron was involved in Terminator Dark Fate. That movie was garbage. So involved doesn't necessarily mean much

I get it, but Columbus also wrote the original script for Gremlins so I think we're still in good hands. They could very well have asked Dante if he was interested in directing this and he turned it down. There's no official word but given that he hasn't directed a movie in over a decade and he's pushing 80, he could be retired from directing too.

He probably is retired and that's fine. But his lack of being in that chair keeps me at a distance from this project until we see how it turns out. Regardless if he did turn it down.

I wish they would have gotten someone new. Plenty of new young directors who could have done wonders with this. I respect Chris Columbus. Still excited.
