Yea but run more effectively

Note: The idea of President Clamp and gremlins in congress was thought up by Red Letter Media and probably others but that’s where I first heard it.

Re: Gremlins 3
 

Clamp was a thinly veiled Donald Trump so might as well.

I introduced my 10 year old son to the two Gremlins movies within the last 6 months or so and he absolutely loved them. They jumped to his favorite movies list. He asked for Gremlins toys for Christmas and his birthday and I was surprised at how much Gremlins merchandise is out there considering the last movie was over 30 years ago.

Keep the Gremlins as puppets and I’d be down for a third one.

Re: Gremlins 3
 

I always thought of him more as an amalgamation of Trump and Ted Turner.

Hope Dante is back if this actually happens.

Re: Gremlins 3
 

His directorial output since Looney Tunes Back in Action (2003) is NOT great, though he's done some episodes of CBS procedurals.

Re: Gremlins 3
 

Very true. Since I’m a completionist, all those turds are in my collection. They don’t get rewatched much.

Re: Gremlins 3
 

Have you shown him the new Gremlins cartoons? My kids liked them.

Warner Bros. just scheduled a release date: November 19, 2027. Chris Columbus co-writing and directing.

Sucks there's no mention of Dante being involved. I assume Zach Galligan returning is a given. Just saw him at a horror convention a couple weeks ago and he looked great. Too bad there's probably not a snowball's chance in hell getting Phoebe Cates to sign on.

Would love to see the President Clamp idea actually happen (perfect timing for it), but I suspect this will distance itself from the meta/screwball stuff from The New Batch and go back to basics - especially with Columbus at the helm.

Re: Gremlins 3
 

No Dante is a huge handicap to a Gremlins 3. Don't know how involved he'd want to be but he still cohosts a movie podcast I occasionally listen to so it's not like he's senile.

Re: Gremlins 3
 

With Chris Columbus writing & directing, I immediately lost any interest

Re: Gremlins 3
 

I'm sure it'll be as good as the last couple of Ghostbusters, Trons or Indiana Jones.

Re: Gremlins 3
 

Why not Joe Dante? :sad:

Re: Gremlins 3
 

Its been rumored forever but I do hope they use practical effects the majority of the movie.

Re: Gremlins 3
 

Not a chance. Maybe 1-2 main Gremlins and Gizmo, but that many puppets is too complicated and cost prohibitive. It'll be mostly CG.

I also doubt it'll actually happen. It's been rumored (development hell?) for decades.

Re: Gremlins 3
 

I'm in! I don't expect it to have the edginess of the first film, but a feel good legacy sequel endcap sounds good to me. Would be nice to have Dante involved in some creative capacity, but we'll see.

Re: Gremlins 3
 

24 years in development hell.

Is that some kind of record?

Re: Gremlins 3
 

I tried to find out, but all I came up with is that the film with the longest production time was The Other Side of the Wind, with a period of 48 years between principal photography in 1970 (to 1976) and subsequent post-production/release in 2018.
