{Gremlins 3 Rumor Mill} Zach Galligan comments on Sacha’s Gremlins Clips & BT Commercial.

From Zach Galligan’s Personal Blog: (source)

People have been asking me lately if I’ve seen the BT spot that features gremlins. I have, and you can see it here.

People have also been asking if the tremendous response to the spot in the UK has in any way given momentum to future Gremlins projects, including a possible Gremlins 3.

The answer to that question is: in a way, yes. That’s all I can say right now.

Additionally, a young man named Sacha Feiner has created one of the most astounding Gremlins clips ever. It really defies description, so if you’re a fan, you can watch it here. But be sure to watch the jaw-dropping, hard-to-believe-but-true “Making Of” clip here. I guarantee you, you won’t forget it.

And yes, I can tell you that the people responsible for Gremlins have seen it too, and are pretty darn impressed.

That is all.

What does that mean for us Gremlins fans? Only time will tell! Stay Tuned for more info as it pops up!

Keep in mind he is an acting teacher at NYU and his schedule prevents him from blogging regularly, so updates may be infrequent.

Den Of Geek interview with Zach Galligan!

Is Stripe a Transformer?!

I have gotten a few emails recently regarding the upcoming Transformers movie, and the voice talent being used to bring life to the robots of yesteryear and today.

One of the original voice actors from the Transformers Cartoon series, Peter Cullen, is reprising his role as the leader of the valiant Autobots, Optimus Prime. This was revealed last year sometime to the general public, and it was quickly assumed that Frank Welker would be returning as well for the voice of Megatron. (Nerd Trivia Note: The original voice of Megatron was performed by Earl Hammond, but most people remember Frank Welker’s later work as Megatron’s voice, though both did a spectacular job.) Unfortunately, the studio decided that Frank was “too old” for the role, and instead cast venerable elf-lord and machine agent, Hugo Weaving as the Decipticons’ first-in-command.

How does this relate to our green reptilian creatures of the nocturnal persuasion? Well, Frank Welker was the memorable voice that brought Stripe to life in Gremlins, as well as various gremlins in the film and also Mohawk in Gremlins 2. (and most likely random background gremlins in the sequel.)

So is Stripe a Transformer this time around? Yes and no. Frank Welker was Megatron in the cartoon series, but will not be in the feature film….However, Frank will be returning to the role of Megatron in the Transformers video game coming out this summer that is based on the 2007 film.

I have to admit that having the original voices of Megatron and Optimus Prime together again in the video game does lend an appeal to a movie tie-in game that I would normally avoid, so we shall see if the movie warrants the game’s rental.

Now let’s see Frank return for GREMLINS 3! Hell, let’s just see them make a Gremlins 3!

As the summer is slow with news, don’t expect very frequent updates, but they will pop up here and there.

Stay tuned to Gremlins Online and remember to drop us an email if you have any tidbits of Gremliny goodness.

Meet Zach Galligan at Collectormania 11 in May!

Heyas all,

Silvermoonlight informed me that Zach Galligan, Mr. Billy Peltzer himself, will be a guest at Collectormania 11 this May.
He will be joined by some fantastic stars such as Michael Beihn, James Marsters, Rene Auberjonois, and a personal favorite of mine, Michael Winslow.

The good news is this gives you plenty of time to make plans to get there….

The bad news is that Collectormania 11 takes places in Buckinghamshire, England, so many of us US fans will miss this opportunity.

The event is from Friday 4 May-Monday 7 May at the Middleton Hall.

I will update everyone once more information becomes available, in regards to specific times and details of appearances.

Those of you who can make it, be sure to take some pictures and say hi on behalf of Gremlins Online to Zach!
