I wish they’d just do re-releases. Get people to see the originals and have a blast, marvelling at how a movie like that was even conceived, let alone made in the first place lol the bar scene in the first film is one of my favourite. It’s hilarious.

No thanks. It'll probably use garbo CGI Gremlins and no practical effects.

[-]

dudly825@reddit

Word is it will be all practical effects 👀

HeywoodJaBlessMe@reddit

If they go CGI instead of practical effects my disappointment will be immeasurable

[-]

prolikewhoa@reddit

It’s inevitable

[-]

HeywoodJaBlessMe@reddit

Im sure you're right

Things you will probably see in this movie:

Gremlins taking selfies and doing video calls with smartphones
Influencer gremlin
Gremlins singing Baby Shark

Let's have an original movie for once. Stop trying to make an easy buck off our nostalgia.

[-]

They'll never stop, but at least it's slowing down a bit. And it's a sequel instead of a reboot or remake. I'll take a sequel if it means a new story for the characters we care about, it isn't on the 2020 side of woke, and it doesn't have Leto in it. I'll take that.

I think gremlins still freak the shit outta me.

DariosDentist@reddit

I didn't see Beetlejuice, the Naked Gun, Top Gun and I won't see this. It doesn't matter if they're good or not Hollywood can't keep doing this shit

[-]

Of course they can and they will.

Is Kristi Noem gonna play the Lady Gremlin? She's a dead ringer.

[-]

_meestir_@reddit

The world needs more Steven Spielberg movies.

No Joe Dante = no deal. Plus it's gonna be a typical sequel cashout with bad CGI and scripts.

[-]

VVrayth@reddit

This is going to be trash, and everyone should know this by now, given how badly they keep screwing up beloved '80s and '90s franchises with these terrible revivals.

Gremlins is a product of awesome puppetry and practical effects wizardry. There is no way a modern sequel doesn't absolutely desecrate that. Also, it's not like Phoebe Cates is going to come back, so why even bother?

I just hope they maintain the integrity of the original pictures.

If Dante isn’t involved Jordan Peele damn well better be

As long as the pitch meeting is like the Kay & Peele sketch it could be ok

Originality is dead

[-]

This might be controversial but Chris Columbus hasn't really made a good movie since Mrs. Doubtfire.

[-]

OG_Cryptkeeper@reddit

He made the first two Harry Potter films. I’d say that those are far beyond “good”.

[-]

inko75@reddit

They are both so bad

[-]

Ok-Brush5346@reddit

That's why I felt like it could be a controversial. I'm sure plenty of kids liked Percy Jackson, too.

[-]

psilosophist@reddit

Not controversial at all, he's very much a blank slate director who'll happily take studio notes. He's the safe choice for corporate IP slop.

[-]

Aught_To@reddit

Sure hope it's better than that beetlejuice sequel.. that was a disaster

[-]

odin_the_wiggler@reddit

I couldn't even finish B², it was that terrible.

[-]

psilosophist@reddit

Joe Dante explicitly made Gremlins 2 as a way to kill any potential franchise, by creating a movie so ridiculous that it'd be impossible to follow up.

Calling it now, much like every bland and boring IP revival, this one's gonna suck too.

[-]

odin_the_wiggler@reddit

Can't wait for all the AI slop.

Only way they can pull this off is if they use a mix of practical effects and CG, like the newest Dark Crystal.

[-]

jessek@reddit

No Joe Dante, no interest from me.

[-]

NopeYupWhat@reddit

I imagine they will make the movie more like the 1st in tone. It’s not the 80s anymore, and I don’t think audiences would go for the fun but crazy second movie. Maybe they go another direction entirely? Fun fact: Raymond Cruz, who played Tuca in Breaking Bad, was in Gremlins 2 for a small part.
