Gremlins now showing on G4!
Heyas all!
For those interested, if you get the Cable station G4, Gremlins is now playing as part of their “Movies That Don’t Suck” series.
EXCLUSIVE! Interview With Sacha Feiner, creator of the Gremlins Mash-up Fan Film!
THE FILM – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=REGCV6z3VkM
A: First of all, thanks for your invitation. I hope my written english will be ok! I’ll briefly talk of my career: I made graphic communication studies, and was graduated in 2005. I didn’t like it that much but I succeeded in diverting it to cinema and animation;
my graduate project was an interactive political sci-fi animated movie. After that, I made several short movies and cartoons, also working as a graphist. My first big professional work (but still personal), the one I am the most proud of today, was the “World In Progress” series, that was played before each screening at the Brussels International Fantastic Film Festival in 2007 (you can watch that series on Youtube – type “sacha feiner”). After co-directing a recut trailers series last year, a very interesting editing exercise, I am now making another more personal series for 2009, but it is still in pre-production so I shouldn’t talk too much! Same thing for my first long feature, which french producers are interested in…
(The rest of the interview follows after the break!)
Gremlins for Christmas & 25th Anniversary Rumors!
Heyas all!
First off, for those of you who follow the time honored Gremlins Online tradition of watching Gremlins every year right around christmas time, but haven’t broken down and purchased your very own Gremlins Special Edition DVD, Gremlins is airing on AMC pretty regularly through the holidays. Surprisingly, it is the unedited version with the complete microwave, blender and fireplace sequences!
If you have cable, be sure to check it out at the following upcoming showtimes:
Sun Dec 28 @ 6:30AM | 5:30C
Mon Dec 29 @ 1AM | 12C
Mon Dec 29 @ 7:30AM | 6:30C
I have also gotten word that there is supposed to be a new dvd release of Gremlins with some all-new special features in 2009. This would coincide with the 25th anniversary of the original film, so hopefully Warner Bros will go all out for this one and give us a version that has the deleted scenes included in the flow of the film! More updates as I discover more!

Updates on Gremlins toys and Family Guy mogwai!
One of our super Gremlin fans, Andrew, was awesome and informed me about Sunday’s episode of the cartoon Family Guy which had this beyond amazing clip……
So it looks like some of the writers/staff of Family guy are hardcore Gremlins fans.
Evidence?
1. They pronounced “Mogwai” correctly.
2. Peter feeds his Mogwai a chicken drumstick, the same thing that the Mogwai in the first Gremlins film ate.
3. The…..Gremlin…..is exterminated in the same manner as was one of the gremlins in what may be one of the most memorable moments out of the two films.
4. The rules are understood and not butchered. (i.e saying they can’t get wet after midnight)
5. Peter’s Mogwai is proportionately drawn and recognizable even while being a parody.
There were a couple updates to the site over the last week, while I have been dealing with some personal obligations.
-The Ride section updated with info and more pictures.
-Video Vault is getting cleaned up as we speak
-Video Games updated slightly
So, 2007 has the first serious rumblings of Gremlins 3 being actually made, it has an accurate parody of a Mogwai/Gremlins in a major television show, and from what a little bird told me, things are a little too quiet on the Gremlins merchandising front.
What does this all mean?
Nothing at all.
Unless you want to speculate, which is all kinds of good fun.
Then you can speculate that it is possible that the reason that there hasn’t been any Gremlins merchandise is there is interest in either
1. A new licensee taking over
2. The license for gremlins is in limbo.
or 3. They are gearing up for something.
It is not uncommon for a license to disappear for a short time before a major marketing push, while production begins on a new line of toys/shirts/dolls/books/posters. Companies like to refocus their energies all the time, to ensure that their money invested will be returned. This leads to a lull in shipping or production, as the new product is being prepared.
Then again, maybe the companies just decided to not make anything this year, and conveniently ignore requests at various official events to explain the absence of gremlins in their 2007 line-ups. Yes. That makes sense, ignore multiple people at multiple times on the same subject.
Sounds suspicious to me.
Remember this: Gizmo Furby was a big deal, and it was used to find out the market reaction to Gremlins being reintroduced to a newer market.
Folks this is a great news day, and there will be more to spawn here in the coming weeks around here, once certain tapes of the red variety get sliced through.
Remember you heard it here at Gremlins Online…
Something Will Be Hatching Soon.
