Well, we know Hoyt Axton won't be back.

And before anyone asks, in an interview a few months ago he said if there ever was a third film and he was involved it would use practical puppets.

Society has time on it's hands when it has distinguishing phrases like "CGI puppets" and "practical puppets".

I can't wait to see what they'll do. I always liked the RLM concept that they take over the White House next.

Good to know. I think that if CGI has to be used, I think it would be better for it to be mixed.

They’d probably improve things massively right now TBH.

Can't be any worse.

Would they risk doing a parody of January 6th with Gremlins invading the senate chamber?

Billy-Oh my god. Look at what they did to congress!

*Gremlins swinging from the ceiling.*

*A gremlin banging the gaval on another gremlins head*

I'd be way more excited if Joe Dante was returning.

Personally, I'd just have the main character vacationing for Christmas on a tropical island while a hurricane happens. Instant chaos.

i wonder what gremlins 3 is gonna be about

set around in the mid 90s like a few years after the gremlins invaded that building in gremlins 2

Yeah. Gremlins 2: The New Batch is one of the greatest movies ever made and I doubt Columbus will be able to live up to it.

I don't know how this will turn out, but I'm prepared to give it ago. If they can tap into the real flavour of the originals then they can bring it to a new audience and turn away from the usual Hollywood blockbusters then it could be fun.

I would *hope* that they are real fans of the original and honour it.

Crap. Instant nightmare full. A beach( water)
