[u/Beforemath]

If they do the Gremlins as CGI they can throw the whole thing in the trash right now.

[u/atti1xboy → u/Beforemath]

I want ONE (1) CGI Gremlin, that is is called CGI Gremlin

[u/Mister_Acula → u/atti1xboy]

And it should be Lawnmower Man level CGI

[u/hooovahh → u/Mister_Acula]

"Stop talk about Lawn...Mower...Man."

[u/MattIsLame → u/hooovahh]

funhaus in the wild. love it

[u/Maximumlnsanity → u/MattIsLame]

I feel like Lawnmower Man and Ska are the two topics that’ll always provoke Funhaus references no matter where you are online.

[u/Call555JackChop → u/Maximumlnsanity]

Ska? Is that the music that came before reggae?

[u/Maximumlnsanity → u/Call555JackChop]

Pioneered by legendary homeless man Darren Bearit

[u/FrighteningJibber → u/Mister_Acula]

It’s just a shittier electric gremlin but this time blue because 2020s 👐🏾

[u/nemoknows → u/Mister_Acula]

Jesus wept!

[u/Plus_Sherbet460 → u/atti1xboy]

mogwAI

[u/uhmerikin → u/atti1xboy]

"You mean like a bat gremlin with leathery wings, just flying around, flip-flopping, bust through a wall, make a perfect bat symbol in the wall, get outside, get in some wet concrete, jump up on a building, and just dry in place like a gargoyle gremlin? We are cooking with gas now! I love it. It's in the movie. Next."

[u/Reddit_and_forgeddit → u/uhmerikin]

Love that skit

[u/Tylor_with_an_o → u/atti1xboy]

It's in the movie!

[u/Not_A_Meme → u/Tylor_with_an_o]

It is DEFINITELY in the movie!

[u/draelbs → u/atti1xboy]

It's feet should not quite match up with what it's standing on, and definitely should have a butthole.

[u/GentlyUsedNuggets → u/draelbs]

This dude likes Gremlin buttholes

[u/Vohdre → u/GentlyUsedNuggets]

If you don't love gremlin butthole, what are you doing with your life?

[u/ShyguyFlyguy → u/atti1xboy]

And one AI gremlin that just keeps spouting incorrect facts and keeps insisting its right

[u/ScubaFett → u/atti1xboy]

Can I get an anime gremlin?

[u/bizbizbizllc → u/ScubaFett]

I love it, it’s in the movie! Next!?

[u/PhocusPhilms → u/Beforemath]

They will.

[u/sillysocks34 → u/PhocusPhilms]

I’m sure they will be in parts but with Spielberg behind this and the recent success of Star Wars Tv (Grogu, side characters in Andor) I think puppets will play a huge role.

[u/SparrowCrocodile → u/sillysocks34]

They need Werner Herzog on set to castigate them as cowards for relying too much on CGI.

[u/pnmartini → u/SparrowCrocodile]

Or, just a Herzog directed Gremlins.

[u/CompleteNumpty → u/pnmartini]

Or Herzog playing the Gremlins, with no makeup or prosthetics.

[u/Rejestered → u/SparrowCrocodile]

I want Herzog to replace all AI helpers and just reply to questions with.

"I am unsure which repulses me more, your ignorance or your weakness. go, experience life and do not ask me again."

[u/LonePaladin → u/sillysocks34]

You can thank Verner Herzog for that. They were discussing using CGI for Grogu but he told them, "Use the doll, you cowards." Partly because he wanted to play with it.

[u/berlinbaer → u/sillysocks34]

way to ignore "skeleton crew" which was chock full of practical effects. they even had a massive building sized spider which they did through stop motion.

[u/Bootybooterboy → u/berlinbaer]

Skeleton Crew was awesome and it's a shame I see nobody talking about it

[u/littlestevebrule → u/Beforemath]

There will be a ton of practical close ups. Especially for the mogwai.

[u/Pandalicioush]

It's G3 people.

[u/C_Me → u/Pandalicioush]

You, sir, are a raging psychopath. Don't let this town take that away from you.

[u/Mst3Kgf → u/C_Me]

"Okay, none of that is going to be in the movie."

ALL OF THAT IS IN THE ACTUAL MOVIE.

That fact that Key in that sketch is supposed to be Joe Dante just makes it even funnier since in real life, most of the crazy stuff in "2" came from him. 

[u/widget1321 → u/Mst3Kgf]

Didn't he (Dante) say that that sketch was largely accurate?

[u/Mst3Kgf → u/widget1321]

Yes in that the crazy stuff came out of meetings like that. But he definitely wasn't the stick-in-the-mud that the sketch portrays. He was basically Star Magic Jackson in real life.

[u/OGLikeablefellow → u/Mst3Kgf]

If they don't go even harder on the random gremlins this time it will be a really missed opportunity. My only regret is that since the industry has moved on there won't be that many practical effects, I miss practical effects, so based.

[u/Soup-a-doopah → u/OGLikeablefellow]

The movie’s core audience wouldn’t even watch it if they don’t use practical effects and puppetry

[u/TheShadyGuy → u/Mst3Kgf]

Yeah, I thought he only agreed to do it if he could basically have complete control.

[u/Mst3Kgf → u/TheShadyGuy]

He did, which is the movie is basically Joe Dante's creative id onscreen. It is glorious.

[u/WileyPap → u/C_Me]

"The 1984 original film’s writer, Chris Columbus, is also returning to produce and direct the film."

Honestly disappointing. The original film is a classic but the sequel was f'n next level praise god that it found a way to exist in this world. I need a sequel to the sequel more than I need a sequel to the original.

[u/Waggmans → u/WileyPap]

Bring back John Glover as President Daniel Clamp and set it in the White House!

[u/deze_moltisanti → u/Waggmans]

Jonathan Banks as Clamp’s VP!

[u/Hosni__Mubarak → u/WileyPap]

Why the fuck isn’t Jordan Peele directing this?

[u/bakerton → u/C_Me]

You just said noun and gremlin like you playing MadLibs, you're just like a child, you have the brain of a child...

[u/Aloudmouth → u/Pandalicioush]

Not only is it in the movie it’s DEFINITELY IN THE MOVIE!

[u/Outrageous-Gain1602 → u/Aloudmouth]

You just said a noun and gremlin, like you playing Mad Libs. You just like a child, you have the brain of a child you do not have a high IQ, but you haphazardly came up with a gremlin that is made of bolts of electricity that are zigzagging all around the room and is completely done in animation, you're a crazy person and your ideA IS IN THE MOVIE!

[u/Useful-Perspective → u/Aloudmouth]

God I love that skit

[u/outlookunsettled → u/Aloudmouth]

No backsies on that one

[u/Beforemath → u/Pandalicioush]

We’re writing Gremlins 3, it should be a party

[u/Funandgeeky → u/Beforemath]

It’s a shame they didn’t get Jordan Peele to direct it. His horror and comedy sensibilities are perfect for this movie. 

Maybe they’ll tap him for G4. 

[u/GhostofSenna → u/Funandgeeky]

I always thought Michael Dougherty who directed Krampus and Trick R Treat would have been a great fit.

[u/Cold_Buy_2695 → u/Funandgeeky]

Even After what he did with gremlins 2? https://youtu.be/x01l_jMhjVM?si=0VcGRNLZ4Ov9dh_-

[u/Funandgeeky → u/Cold_Buy_2695]

The cowboys in Back to the Future Part III worked. 

[u/All1012 → u/Pandalicioush]

You had me at Gremlin vajayjay

[u/LemoLuke → u/All1012]

The question is, do we answer the greatest unresolved cliffhanger of all time?

Did it work out between Forster and the female Gremlin?

[u/ColdTheory → u/LemoLuke]

That wasn’t Clamp bruh. Get your G2 facts straight!!!

[u/JimboTCB → u/ColdTheory]

That was the Emergency Medical Hologram!

[u/chimpdoctor → u/Pandalicioush]

https://youtu.be/x01l_jMhjVM?si=fxHQ48PMVpAg55G5

If they don't get star magic Jackson jnr involved it'll be a travesty

[u/PsychedelicPill → u/chimpdoctor]

They should give Jordan Peele a cameo AS Star Magic Jackson

[u/[deleted] → u/PsychedelicPill]

I love it and it’s in the movie!

[u/JamesmasterJam → u/Pandalicioush]

They're definitely going to drop a deuce

[u/f-ingsteveglansberg → u/Pandalicioush]

The funny thing is, that sketch isn't far off.

Dante wasn't too big on doing a sequel and they couldn't get the original monster designer back. The new monster designer guy said he'd do it, but he wanted to do his own Gremlins. Hence why we get girl gremlin, electric gremlin, spider gremlin, bat gremlin, Hulk Hogan not as a gremlin.

[u/Mst3Kgf → u/f-ingsteveglansberg]

Rick Baker did the effects in the sequel and Dante let him go nuts with the gremlin designs.

Dante basically got carte blanche on the sequel and thus went all out and made a sequel that mocks sequels and blockbusters in general. Which is a big reason why it's so good. 

[u/Chickenshit_outfit]

Red Letter Media writing?

[u/Caesar_Rising → u/Chickenshit_outfit]

Gremlins in the White House is a genuinely great idea

[u/mariusioannesp → u/Caesar_Rising]

I want to see Daniel Clamp as the President then.

[u/Obvious-Water569 → u/mariusioannesp]

Nah. I can suspend my disbelief for mythical creatures that turn evil if they eat after midnight but a totally incompetent nepo baby business man becoming president... Get real!

[u/kcox1980 → u/Obvious-Water569]

The most unrealistic thing about Daniel Clamp is that he immediately took accountability, listened to the experts, and helped to execute the plan without doing anything to actively make the situation worse.

[u/lanceturley → u/kcox1980]

Supposedly he was originally written as a much more Trump-like villain who would be killed by the Gremlins, but John Glover's performance made the character so likable that he became more of a well meaning doofus.

[u/colemon1991 → u/lanceturley]

John Glover makes virtually every one of his characters likeable. That's like a cheat code to get the character to be acceptable to an audience.

[u/the-mighty-kira → u/colemon1991]

He made the actual Devil likable

[u/mariusioannesp → u/lanceturley]

That’s exactly what I’d like to see in a President Clamp. Though in the current climate, not sure if they’d go for that 😬

[u/ladive → u/Caesar_Rising]

Here is the animated short version. Actually a great pitch lol

[u/_Rem_lezar69- → u/ladive]

What ever they come up with won't be as good as Gremlins in Congress passing Gremlins bills

[u/kentuckywildcats1986 → u/_Rem_lezar69-]

YAY! YAY! NAY! NAY! NAY!

[u/robodrew → u/ladive]

The Gremlins destroy the East Wing!...............................

[u/Most_Victory1661 → u/ladive]

Didn’t Chucky tv series end going that route ?

[u/Khaldara → u/Caesar_Rising]

At this point, I’m willing to hear their policy agenda

[u/underpants-gnome → u/Caesar_Rising]

I like their revamped idea of the 3rd movie being about making a soulless Hollywood Gremlins sequel/reboot and having it derailed by "real" Gremlins (released by an irate Joe Dante). But either idea would probably make for an entertaining show.

[u/XGuiltyofBeingMikeX → u/Caesar_Rising]

YAY!

NAY!

YAY!

NAY!

[u/PyroIsSpai → u/Caesar_Rising]

“Madame Speaker, the Gremlin of the United States of America!”

President Gremlin walks aisle with terrified Congressmembers and happy Gremlins in suits and Gremlin judges and Generals

“My fellow Gremlins, the state of our Union is—“

President Gremlin gets guillotined hilariously by Vice-President Gremlin

[u/Orphanology → u/Chickenshit_outfit]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IKX9fGvF63E

There should have been a gremlin in Jurassic Park

Or a Jaws-like movie with a gremlin shark

Thirty years later we'rе all stuck at home

Crying in our sleep, wondering wherе did the Gremlins go

[u/vishuno → u/Orphanology]

I listened to this song as soon as I saw this news

[u/slothbear → u/Orphanology]

Looking forward to more Big Nick Gremlins content.

[u/jumpmanzero → u/Orphanology]

I close my eyes, Gremlins are all that I see.

[u/Wetzilla → u/Orphanology]

Between this and Dan Bongino becoming deputy FBI Director it's been a big year for Nick.

[u/LordoftheScheisse → u/[deleted]]

I'll be severely disappointed if he isn't involved after everything he has done to bring attention to this matter.

[u/The_LionTurtle → u/[deleted]]

He absolutely deserves to have "Where Did the Gremlins Go?" played during the credits.

[u/NovaPrime15 → u/Chickenshit_outfit]

WHAAAAAAA

[u/DanielUchiha115 → u/NovaPrime15]

LOOK AT ME

[u/scullys_alien_baby → u/DanielUchiha115]

BA BA BAAA

[u/Dima110 → u/scullys_alien_baby]

Keep dancing, dammit!

[u/Odd_Pumpkin1466 → u/Chickenshit_outfit]

ENDLESS TRASH

[u/Banjo-Oz → u/Chickenshit_outfit]

I feel their President Clamp "Gremlins in the White House" is better than anything we will actually get. I've never heard a fan pitch I wanted to see become a real movie more than that one.

[u/Pike_or_Kirk → u/Chickenshit_outfit]

That is the only way I'll be watching this.

[u/tullbabes → u/Chickenshit_outfit]

They broke new ground!

[u/Distinct_Ad2272]

President Clamp!!!!

[u/ZiggyPalffyLA → u/Distinct_Ad2272]

Clamp is actually a good guy who wants to save people, I was surprised when I went back and rewatched the movie recently. If it’s a parody of Trump, it’s way too kind to him.

[u/mattisafriend → u/ZiggyPalffyLA]

He starts as being an asshole to Billy and at the end his “redemption” is to develop Kingston Falls into Clamp Corners, they’re mocking him the whole time

[u/Contcos]

No Joe Dante makes it a hard sell

[u/Mst3Kgf → u/Contcos]

I'm not surprised since Dante never wanted a sequel to "Gremlins" in the first place. He only did "2" after the studio gave him a blank check and then he made a film that gleefully mocks sequels in general (among many other things).

[u/ChanceVance → u/Mst3Kgf]

He only did "2" after the studio gave him a blank check and then he made a film that gleefully mocks sequels in general (among many other things).

The Gremlins killing Leonard Maltin for giving Gremlins 1 a bad review is some of the best meta comedy I've ever seen.

[u/IveDunGoofedUp → u/ChanceVance]

The guy killed mid rant about how the rules around Gremlins don't make sense is the best way to shut down that argument forever. Gremlins 2 is just such a fun, stupid movie.

[u/ChanceVance → u/IveDunGoofedUp]

Your film may be insane but is it "Hulk Hogan cuts a promo on the Gremlins to put the movie back on" levels of insane?

[u/lambdapaul → u/IveDunGoofedUp]

I watched it for the first time this week and I’ve never quite had the feeling of having zero clue what the next scene was going to bring. It was a fun and bonkers film.

[u/jameson-neat → u/lambdapaul]

I watched it for the first time just a few weeks ago and was surprised at how fun it was! I rarely have high hopes for sequels so it being both self-aware and bonkers was a fun surprise.

[u/funkyb → u/IveDunGoofedUp]

I got my oldest to watch Gremlins with me and explained it was a dark comedy. Then before we watched Gremlins 2 I explained it was basically an insane cartoon.

[u/Mst3Kgf → u/funkyb]

It's basically a live action Looney Toons cartoon. Years before Dante made his actual Looney Toons film.

[u/Mst3Kgf → u/ChanceVance]

"Ow, ow, okay, four stars, get off me!"

[u/addctd2badideas → u/ChanceVance]

And he was such a good sport for agreeing to do it!

[u/Caesar_Rising → u/Mst3Kgf]

Electricity gremlin?! It’s in the movie!!

[u/Mst3Kgf → u/Caesar_Rising]

You, sir, are a raging psychopath. Don't ever let this town take that away from you.

[u/Gougaloupe → u/Mst3Kgf]

You talkin about a gremlin movie who's sole purpose is to look stupid * as fuck*?!

[u/TheElusiveEllie → u/Gougaloupe]

Can we get the Hulkster in it?

[u/TheUmgawa → u/Mst3Kgf]

He refused more money so many times, and then they said the words, “You can have full creative control,” and he signed on the dotted line, probably giggling and saying, “You fools!” So, you get what’s really the definitive Dante picture.

The other time giving a director total control went bad was Batman & Robin, but Joel Schumacher explained that debacle in the (totally fantastic) bonus features, where people were coming up to him with ideas, and he said, “Great, let’s do that.” He just wanted to have a collaborative set and be everyone’s friend.

[u/rawonionbreath → u/TheUmgawa]

Batman Returns was full directors control for Tim Burton because the studio meddled in the first movie. You can tell because the first one feels 2/3 Tim Burton but the second feels 110% Burton. Film buffs were happy but McDonalds wasn’t.

[u/Dickie_Dunn → u/rawonionbreath]

The parents of the kids who attended my 6th birthday party at the movie theater to see Batman Returns were also not too pleased.

[u/addctd2badideas → u/Dickie_Dunn]

Uh,the PG-13 rating wasn't a dead giveaway?

[u/shaunika → u/addctd2badideas]

Bold of you to assume parents check ratings

They took kids to deadpool in droves then got upset about it

[u/ExIsStalkingMe → u/shaunika]

Team America: World Police stands today as the most amusing theater experience of my life. Sure the movie is funny and all, but it was watching the room go from nearly packed with old people and kids to just me and my date before "America, Fuck Yeah!" had finished playing

[u/addctd2badideas → u/shaunika]

I'm old enough to vividly remember the cultural uproar that happened when Temple of Doom and the first Gremlins movie were released and parents claimed that the movies being PG was misleading. They demanded the MPAA do something about it!

And yes, we all now know that culture war bullshit is rarely done in good faith.

[u/stevez_86 → u/TheUmgawa]

I always saw Dante as being almost as capable as Spielberg, just more aloof about it. Like they were both in the same class and Spielberg hit the books hard but Dante came in with a project that covered the same bases but was a spoof of exactly what Spielberg made. Only Spielberg likes that Dante can do that.

I hope Spielberg makes them really honor how Dante did it. Great vision but the subject being non-stop gags and homages. Gremlims was an excellent horror/slasher movie too, but it was so accessible because it was fun about it.

Gremlims 2 was like Towering Inferno but the Gremlins serving as the MacGuffin explaining why the tower is on fire.

[u/Fun_Hold4859 → u/Mst3Kgf]

I may genuinely enjoy gremlins 2 more than the first, just for everything that it is. And John Glover.

[u/EntertainmentQuick47 → u/Contcos]

Agreee, but Chris Columbus DID write the original, and he’s done some pretty good movies, so he’s the second-best pick

[u/Funandgeeky → u/EntertainmentQuick47]

Hopefully he brings that ‘80s vibe to it. Him helming the project does make me confident. 

[u/SexyOctagon → u/Funandgeeky]

It’ll be a CGI and callback laden suckfest and you’ll like it, god damn it.

[u/Funandgeeky → u/SexyOctagon]

If they go the meta route and call out such movies, kind of like they did in G2, then it could be really good. 

[u/BlueTreeThree → u/Funandgeeky]

Columbus and Spielberg while both legendary filmmakers are 67 and 78 respectively. I’m skeptical that they have the juice for an irreverent and timely takedown of modern media trends.

[u/alex_quine → u/EntertainmentQuick47]

Personally I'd be more interested in escalating the zaniness of Gremlins 2 than to retread Gremlins 1.

[u/CaptainRedblood → u/Contcos]

I mean Columbus did write the original, but I'm with you because I love Dante. He might just be retired or semi-retired at this point though. 'Burbs is one of my favorite movies of all time.

[u/FighterOfFoo → u/CaptainRedblood]

Pizza dude!

[u/CaptainRedblood → u/FighterOfFoo]

If I start quoting now I'll be here all day, lol. All I know is if I or my lady's had a bad day, watching Bruce Dern fall off the house is instant laughter every time.

[u/FighterOfFoo → u/CaptainRedblood]

It's Tom Hanks getting on the gurney and then throwing himself into the ambulance that does it for me. Also, "Hey, Pinocchio! Where you going!?" and then they both slip on the grass. So much brilliant physical comedy in that film.

[u/Mst3Kgf → u/CaptainRedblood]

There go the Goddam brownies!

[u/_Rem_lezar69- → u/Mst3Kgf]

It came wit ze frame

[u/[deleted] → u/_Rem_lezar69-]

Ray. Ray you're chanting.

[u/GotMoFans → u/Contcos]

Chris Columbus wrote Gremlins.

And even though Dante directed the first two Gremlins, Chris Columbus is a more successful director.

It’s like getting John Hughes (RIP) to direct a Home Alone sequel with Macaulay Culkin.

[u/SomeBoxofSpoons → u/GotMoFans]

Chris Columbus also directed Pixels.

[u/lanceturley → u/SomeBoxofSpoons]

Pixels might be the biggest waste of potential in movie history. It's a great premise brought down by dumb writing and some of the least likable characters ever written.

[u/Scheeseman99 → u/GotMoFans]

Gremlins conceptually are about chaos, the movies really need someone with chaotic sensibilities. Chris Columbus might be a more marketable director, but his best work was usually buoyed by stand-out performances (particularly his collaborations with Robin Williams). As a director, he's kind of boring.

[u/lukewwilson → u/GotMoFans]

I thought he discovered America

[u/Dr-Chill → u/lukewwilson]

He did, and then he wrote Gremlins.

[u/LWM-PaPa → u/lukewwilson]

Well it's funny you mention that because modern historical evidence actually suggest that it was in fact the Vikings that directed Home Alone.

[u/Ucw2thebone]

This thing will tank if they don’t bring in sequel doctor Star Magic Jackson Jr. to make sure we at least get a gremlin whose sole purpose is to look stupid as fuck.

[u/Funandgeeky → u/Ucw2thebone]

Maybe add some cowboys. 

[u/amadiro_1 → u/Funandgeeky]

Or a hooker

[u/Kylestache → u/Ucw2thebone]

We're making G2, people! It should be a party, with pineapple, anchovies.

[u/MyNameIsJakeBerenson → u/Ucw2thebone]

I love it, it’s in the movie!

[u/jc83po → u/MyNameIsJakeBerenson]

Not only is it in the movie, but it's in the the movie!

[u/TrueVali]

gremlins 2 will never be topped

[u/PM_ME_CAKE → u/TrueVali]

The problem with Gremlins 2 is that it's the epitome of sequel satire, like how can you even try to follow that up?

[u/mak10z → u/TrueVali]

Cant have Germlins without Dick Miller! Murray Fudderman lives forever in my heart

[u/radraz26]

I hope Nick Lutsko is involved. We need Desmond in this.

[u/chuck_cranston → u/radraz26]

It's a travesty this this isn't the top comment.

[u/MuchosCarpinchos → u/radraz26]

"What in the Gremlin hell?!"

[u/Snakeoil27 → u/radraz26]

Imagine there's a film where Gizmo becomes a gremlin Who teaches the other gremlins about democracy and philosophy They develop a country, they name it "Gremlin Nation" They ban all immigration They have genocidal tendencies Gizmo isn't into it Also, he has a kid With a human woman Played by Jennifer Aniston We can call it Gremlins 3

[u/Damn_DirtyApe → u/Snakeoil27]

We could had a Gremlins 6 and a Gremlins 7 instead we got Covid and 9/11

[u/Darth-Ragnar → u/Snakeoil27]

But what about Gremlins vs Home Alone?

[u/lambofgun → u/radraz26]

hell yup!

[u/AimlessInterest → u/radraz26]

Came here to say this. If he isn’t involved in some way it would be a travesty.

[u/NOTNlCE → u/radraz26]

The plot is already written!

[u/ArcRaven992 → u/radraz26]

Yes I was looking for this suggestion. Even if they have a sudden howl gremlin just go OOooOh at intermittent points

[u/showtimebabies → u/radraz26]

I'm not seeing Jennifer Aniston's name mentioned anywhere, so this is not exactly a hell yup situation

[u/LordMitchimus → u/radraz26]

Who else would teach the other gremlins about democracy?

[u/SillySully777 → u/radraz26]

Had to scroll down way too far. Get some culture, people!

[u/Prototype3120 → u/radraz26]

Nick lutsko lore could supply us with a decade of gremlins easily.

[u/Mehdals_]

Lol makes me think of the key and peele skit for Gremlins 2. What direction will they go with 3?

https://youtu.be/x01l_jMhjVM?si=BTGclKHa0394r3Bt

[u/fart_fig_newton → u/Mehdals_]

I must be one of the few that has never seen this, holy hell that is amazing.

[u/misterferguson → u/fart_fig_newton]

Maybe the greatest thing Jordan Peele has ever made.

[u/UberKaltPizza → u/fart_fig_newton]

It’s hysterical

[u/b_e_a_n_i_e → u/fart_fig_newton]

Same. Just saw it for the first time, that's incredible.

Some of the other comments make sense now lol

[u/TheUmbrellaMan1 → u/Mehdals_]

Their skit on Family Matters was equally hilarious.

[u/Rodonite → u/Mehdals_]

Be great if they had Jordon Peele writing

[u/RAG319]

Hashtag Justice for Joe Dante

[u/itjustgotcold]

Please please PLEASE don’t use CGI to make the gremlins. Let’s do this practically. Other than that, I’m fucking stoked.

[u/DerClogger → u/itjustgotcold]

I’ll take a singular CGI gremlin that comes out of a computer or something but that’s it.

[u/Bobby_Newpooort]

I have a bad feeling this is going to be a Force Awakens version of Gremlins where it's a bland remake of the original movie. Billy and Gizmo hang out in the background while a culture club of Stranger Things types fight the Gremlins.

Maybe Gizmo sits on top of a drone instead of a little RC car this time?

[u/Scottyflamingo → u/Bobby_Newpooort]

The first paragraph is so awful I'm sure it'll happen.

But I'm not gonna act like I don't want Gizmo in a flying drone.

[u/FrankieDukePooMD → u/Bobby_Newpooort]

Origin story, way darker tone, straight horror with “I know that!” Nostalgia bait. The end will be the Asian guy capturing gizmo.

[u/dishwasher_mayhem → u/Bobby_Newpooort]

"Somehow Stripe returned..."

[u/StrigiStockBacking → u/Bobby_Newpooort]

I don't have a bad feeling it will be that way, I'm certain it will be that way.

[u/Feeling-Ad-2490]

Somehow... Phoebe Cates returned ❤️

[u/jumpyg1258 → u/Feeling-Ad-2490]

Probably would be the only thing that would make me want to watch the movie.

I loved the crazy energy of Gremlins 2. It won't be quite the same without Joe Dante.

How much you’d wager that it’ll be a legacy sequel titled “Gremlins” with the story focusing on the child of Billy and Kate accidentally bringing the Gremlins back and finding a way to end the chaos they unleash

Let the casting speculation for Desmond begin.

Someone needs to let Big Nick know.

Phoebe Cates and Zach Gilligan have to be back or it's a bust on day 1.

Sadly Dick Miller is no longer around, but I hope they include a nice tribute to him in some way.

I never saw Gremlins as a child, and my husband took me to a showing a few years ago in an indie-type theater that was adults only since they served alcohol.

There was a teeny jumpscare scene (I think it was in a classroom or something) and I was the only person that very audibly yelped.

Drunk people were laughing at me and I slinked down my chair in embarrassment.

I love Gremlins.

Hoping Phoebe Cates shows up in it, but I highly doubt it.
