{Gremlins 3} IGN Reports: No Gremlins 3 For Joe Dante
Not really new news at all but interesting nonetheless.
http://movies.ign.com/articles/111/1119169p1.html
“There are no plans in the offing to do another Gremlins movie” he revealed. “I think that because of the CGI situation and the fact that you can now do anything when you make a movie… the originalfilms were limited by the scope of what we could do technically, and that’s what the movies became about. Now it’s so wide-open, you can almost do anything, and I don’t think they’ve got a handle on what kind of movie it would be.
There you have it folks, right now he does not know of any plans for Gremlins 3. This doesn’t mean it isn’t happening, it just means it is not happening right now….stay tuned for more details…
For more information head over to IGN to read the rest of the article, and keep checking back there for the full interview.
Gremlins 3 Remake? Reboot? Sequel?
There has been a lot of rumors and discussion regarding Gremlins 3 actually being a remake or reboot instead of a sequel, and looking at the current Hollywood climate, it sure seems likely, but why?
Logically a remake would attract more theatregoers than Gremlins 3 would.
Fans of the gremlins franchise will see anything Gremlins in the theatre, be it Gremlins 3 or a remake/reboot. So those are guaranteed customers and do not factor in to the math.
However, as it has been nearly 20 years since we have last seen Gremlins in any form (commercials, games, and DVD releases not withstanding) there is an entire generation of potential ticket sales that have never even seen Gremlins in the media. Those customers are unlikely to see a sequel to a movie they never have seen before. Sure some might rent the previous films but they frankly do not have the legacy that other long-dormant movie franchises (like Ghostbusters) do.
Let’s try it this way:
Say there are a million people who are guaranteed ticket sales. They love the previous movies, and would absolutely see a new one in the theatre, regardless of it being a reboot or sequel.
Remake: 1 Million
Sequel: 1 Million
Now let’s take the rest of the moviegoing poulation, and pretend it is 10 million more people. They are undecided.
Undecided: 10m
Remake: 1m
Sequel: 1m
Of that 10m undecided a good number are going to be under the age of 18, as most people who make up the bulk of ticket sales are youth. Let’s number them at 7 Million.
Undecided Adults: 3m
Undecided Youth: 7m
Remake: 1m
Sequel: 1m
Here is where we diverge.

{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!

{Rumor Mill} Gremlins 3 A Prequel?? & Deleted Scenes updated!
Heyas all!
First off, the Deleted scenes section has been updated with a few more scenes from the first Gremlins film, so check that out when you have a chance!
Ok on to the Rumors…
There has been quite a bit of talk about Gremlins 3 being a prequel set in china, telling the story of a young Mr. Wing and how he came about finding the Mogwai.
This is simply wishful thinking & rumor, there is no basis to this speculation at all. There has been no word officially on Gremlins 3 in about a year now, and while a prequel is possible, it is just people talking.
I assure you when there is movement on Gremlins 3 or anything Gremlins related, you will hear it here first!
Keep the info coming!

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
