Fantastic Fandom & Rumor Mill Update!
Well, after quite some time with nothing of much interest to report, we have a video from a very talented Gremlins fan, 
and a Gremlins 3 Rumor Mill Update!!
Let’s get that pesky rumor mill tidbit out of the way first.
A short bit ago, I recieved a message from one of our readers, Tony Anderson, who reports
“Just talked to Joe Dante yesterday (10/6/07) and asked about GREMLINS 3. He said there is nothing happening as far as he knows. He also mentioned that it is extremely unlikely he will have anything to do with it, if it does happen. So, there you go, from the man himself after a screening of MATINEE and GREMLINS 2 here in San Francisco, at the Castro theater. :)”
While this is nothing new, it does somewhat put the Direct-To-DVD rumor on the back burner, for better or worse.
We have long known that Joe Dante likely would not have had anything to do with it, after what he has said numerous times in interviews and personal Q&A.
So right now: Nothing is happening. This does not mean the film is not going through talks or negotiations behind the scenes, but simply there is nothing concrete involving Joe Dante. Keep up hope all you Gremlins out there!
Thank you Tony for keeping us informed, and who knows, if enough people keep bugging him “IS THERE GONNA BE A GREMLINS 3?” maybe he will consider coming back for a threequel.
Now, on to our newest Fan submission!
First we have a “proud certified black nerd” celebrity, Andre Meadows, who you may remember from CW’s Beauty And The Geek.
Andre sent me an email with a bit of info on his love for all things Gremlins and wanted to give us a heads up on his video where he shows off his Nerd Crib with his Gremlins collection, DDR and Nintendo. (A man after my own heart!)
Around 1:20 in is the Gremlins segment and a fantastic Tony Randall (The Brain Gremlin) Impression!
If you go for nerd comedy, (and if you don’t, what are you doing on this site anyways?) you need to check him out, he has a great site at www.blacknerdcomedy.comwhere you can check out his quite unique brand of comedy in the form of V-logs (video blogs), clips and even a couple of his TV appearances!
Hopefully we will hear more from andre in the near future

CGI Gremlin Turntable model
This is the most awesome CGI Gremlin I have ever seen, it is unrivaled in detail and realism.
The gremlin was created by Matt from scratch. This is NOT from Gremlins 3, though it is a good example of how gremlins 3 could be done right if done in CGI!
Video Vault Spring Cleaning
I spent a bit of time today going through the videos in the Video Vault to make sure they are all working, but sadly a few of them are now gone, with no signs of returning. For the remaining videos that were not functioning, I found replacements, so enjoy some Videos if you get bored…or on lunch or….just want to watch some Family Guy Gremlin-y fun!
If you have any videos (not clips from the films) on youtube, google video, veoh, or wherever, just drop me a line at Jypsy27@gmail.com and I will take a peek and see if we can include them in the Gremlins Online Video Vault!
{Rumor Mill} NECA Making More Gremlins Toys In 2008?
One of our regular readers, “Camacho” got in touch with some of the guys at NECA toys to find out what is the hold up with new Gremlins toys. Most of the info he is bringing us comes from a Q&A that NECA had this summer.
“NECA has no new gremlin stuff for 2007….but 2008 is a different story…no details were given of what might come out….when asked about bringing the bat and spider gremlin to cult classic series, they said they would like to see them but nothing is for sure.
They said we would have to wait till 2008 for gremlin stuff…the bat and spider is pure speculation..but they commented on it by saying that “they would love to see them in the cult classics” They also added that they love both movies”
Thanks Camacho for your tip! Too bad we won’t see anything Gremlin-y this year, so it looks like we will not be getting the Board Game anytime soon either, so let’s hope 2008 will be a better year!
