Gremlins Online!

Screencrush has reported that Chris Columbus, writer of the 1984 Gremlins film, claims that Gremlins 3 and Goonies 2 are in “Heavy Development”.(Whatever that means)

From their article:

“The stuff that I’m involved with — the Gremlins and Goonies reboots, for instance — they would do that without me. So, I’m staying involved just so I can be protective and actually protect what people love about those movies so it doesn’t go off track.”

What this really means is not clear, nor has there been any further details on the project but at least there is hope.
While I would like to get excited by this, instead I find myself weary of every snippet of news that comes down the pipeline for this film, as every few months we hear either it is “Shelved Indefinitely” or it is “On The Fast Track”.

I think most Gremlins fans will agree we would rather wait for a quality new film rather than some forced direct-to-dvd cash-in that would bury the franchise.

It is unfortunate posting another passing in such short time after Sir Christopher Lee, but that is how life goes, and I hope that this little post helps more people remember and rediscover a very funny actor that many people didn’t know by name.
Another actor who has entertained millions, though few may remember his name, has passed away. Rick Ducommun is known as “that guy with the nasally voice” in many films such as Gremlins 2, Scary Movie and of course, The ‘Burbs. In Gremlins 2 he had a small part where he played the security guard who managed to stop Billy from shutting off the Clamp water supply and was attacked by Daffy.

From Community Season 6 Episode 2:

Community, a much-beloved, and often canceled comedy series has returned tonight with two new episodes, and an interesting parody of Gremlins in the second episode.

Without spoiling the details until more people have had a chance to watch it, the Gremlins moments are uproariously funny and fit the show perfectly.

Welcome back community…
For those who haven’t seen it, the epsiode is available here:

I will most likely be adding details and screenshots in the next few days as more people get a chance to see the episode.

In the meantime, tell me what you thought in the comments below!

You do not want to miss this wonderful commentary/podcast by the Movie Crypt featuring Zach Galligan. Zach goes on many tangents that give you a whole new perspective on the 1984 film. The commentary is much more laid-back than the 25th anniversary commentary, and goes a bit more into his personal feelings and experiences on-set and how everything came about.
