Development

[edit]

In January 2013, Vulture reported that Warner Bros. Pictures was negotiating with Amblin Entertainment to reboot the Gremlins franchise.[1] Seth Grahame-Smith was tapped to produce, alongside David Katzenberg.[2] In January 2015, Grahame-Smith stated that the project has been put on hold.[3] In November 2015, Zach Galligan confirmed that the third film will be a sequel and not a reboot.[4] In a December 2016 interview with Bleeding Cool, Galligan again spoke about a third film saying that "Warner Bros. definitely wants it, Chris Columbus wants to do it because he’d like to undo the Gremlins 2 thing as he wasn’t thrilled with it, and Steven Spielberg wants to." He claimed Gremlins 3 is being written by Carl Ellsworth.[5] In an interview with SlashFilm in 2017, Columbus wrote dark and twisted script.[6] In November 2020, Columbus stated that CGI would not be used for the gremlins and that traditional puppets and animatronics would continue to be used.[7] In a February 2021 interview, Galligan said "It's not difficult to make an educated guess that the cartoon is a way of seeding the younger generation that's not aware of it. If it is successful, if it gets like The Mandalorian-big, then I think Gremlins 3 is inevitable.[8] In January 2025, Deadline Hollywood reported that a treatment from Columbus for a second The Goonies film, much like a third Gremlins film, had been put in development by Warner Bros.[9]

Casting

[edit]

In December 2016, Galligan said he may star in the movie.[5]
