Now that 'Gremlins: Secrets of the Mogwai' is out on Max, perhaps it'll finally lead to the long talked about 'Gremlins 3'.
The Big Picture One of the biggest movies of the 1980s was the Joe Dante-directed Gremlins. Its unique story about pint-sized monsters terrorizing a small town was part horror film, part 1950s creature feature, and a little bit of E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial. Its adorable hero, the Mogwai Gizmo, took over pop culture long before Grogu from The Mandalorian did. It seemed certain that there would be a sequel soon after. In fact, Warner Bros.
That doesn't mean that fans were done with the potential franchise. The years have been kind to Gremlins 2, with it now regarded as a minor comedy classic, and with nostalgia for the 1980s continuing to be alive and well, so has the desire for a Gremlins 3. So far, all we've gotten is false hope in headlines that go nowhere. In 2010, there were rumors of a Gremlins 3D. In 2011, Warner Bros. renewed the domain for Gremlins3.com, which kept the hope alive.
"It is real. I am involved. When I finished Gremlins, and the first Gremlins was released, I was asked to write the sequel, and said there was no place else to go. Now this was before the pre-crazy-franchise-era of Hollywood where everything is a franchise. So obviously a long 30 years has passed, and I thought, “Okay, we can do this. We can actually find a way not to remake the first movie, but to take those characters and do something interesting.
