Oh dear, yet another "drag it out of the past" movie from the
talentless lazy-ass morons in Hollyweird that's bound to be a dismal
failure and / or pale imitation and / or idiotic reboot (despite claims
it isn't). :-(


Gremlins 3 script finished, says Chris Columbus
-----------------------------------------------
SlashFilm just posted a new interview with Chris Columbus
where the original Gremlins writer confirms he has
completed the latest Gremlins 3 script, which may center
on trying to kill the adorable Gizmo in order to save
humanity from the Gremlins he's capable of unleashing!

"I think it probably is a good idea to be honest with
you. Too many people are dying," Columbus said. "I'm
really proud of the script. It is as twisted and dark as
anything, so we'll see. It's always a budgetary
conversation when we're going to shoot it. I wanted to
go back to the really twisted sensibility of the first
movie. I found that was a very easy place for me to fall
back into and start writing again, so hopefully we'll
see that movie soon."

Warner Bros. previously hired screenwriter Carl Ellsworth
(The Last House on the Left, Red Dawn, Disturbia) to pen 
Gremlins 3, which started life as a reboot before
Columbus turned it into a direct sequel. Columbus also
assured fans the creatures will still be puppets this
time.

"Oh, withou/t a doubt, minimal CGI," Columbus promised.
"CGI will enable us to remove wires and make the
puppeteers' lives a little easier.

The original 1984 classic Gremlins was directed by Joe
Dante and has become infamous for being one of the films
"responsible" for the creation of the MPAA's PG-13 rating.
It also became a box office smash, bringing in over $150
million domestically and making way for a sequel,
Gremlins 2: The New Batch. A farcical meta-take on the 
mischievous creatures, the sequel didn't replicate the box
office success of its predecessor but has managed to
garner a cult following.
