Introduction
There has been no word from Warner Bros. about a new Gremlins movie, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t one in development. The original movie was released in 1984 and was a huge success, grossing $153 million at the box office. The movie became a cult classic and spawned a sequel, Gremlins 2: The New Batch, which was released in 1990.
While there has been no official announcement from Warner Bros., there have been several reports that a new Gremlins movie is indeed in development. In 2015, it was reported that Seth Grahame-Smith, who wrote the screenplay for the Tim Burton-directed Beetlejuice 2, was attached to write and produce a new Gremlins movie.
There is no word on what the plot of the new movie would be or if any of the original cast members would return, but we will be sure to keep you updated as soon as we know more!
What is a Gremlin?
A gremlin is a small, mischievous creature that is said to cause mechanical and electronic failures in aircraft, automobiles, and other machinery. The word “gremlin” first appeared in print in a story by British Royal Air Force (RAF) fighter pilot F. W. Saumarez Smith in the March 1940 issue of Flying magazine.
According to Smith’s account, he was on a night training flight over Norfolk, England, when his engine began to fail. He suspected that a gremlin had gotten into the engine and was sabotaging it. After he landed safely, he found that the engine had indeed been damaged by some kind of creature.
Although the word “gremlin” was originally used to refer to a specific type of creature, it has since come to be used more generally to describe any mischievous or troublesome entity. The word has also been used as the name of various fictional characters, including those in the 1984 film Gremlins and the 1990 sequel Gremlins 2: The New Batch.
The original Gremlins movie
The original Gremlins movie came out in 1984 and was a big hit. It was about a young man, Billy, who gets a strange creature called a Mogwai for Christmas. The Mogwai comes with three simple rules: don’t expose it to bright light, don’t get it wet, and never, ever feed it after midnight. But of course, things go wrong and soon there are lots of little creatures running around causing havoc. The movie was so successful that a sequel was released in 1990.
The sequel, Gremlins 2: The New Batch
Gremlins 2: The New Batch was released in 1990 and was a sequel to the 1984 film Gremlins. The film was received positively by critics and grossed over $41 million at the box office.
Will there be a new Gremlins movie?
As of right now, there are no concrete plans for a new Gremlins movie. However, that could always change in the future. The original movie was released in 1984 and was a massive hit, grossing over $200 million at the box office. There have been rumors off and on over the years about a possible sequel or reboot, but nothing has ever come to fruition.
In 2015, original producer Steven Spielberg said that he would be open to making another Gremlins movie if he could find the right story. “The challenge is to come up with an idea that’s as good or better than the original,” he said. “I wouldn’t want to make it just for the sake of making it.”
So, as of now, it doesn’t seem like there are any immediate plans for a new Gremlins movie. However, if Spielberg and company can come up with a story that lives up to the original film, we could see another installment in this beloved franchise sometime in the future.
Who wants a new Gremlins movie?
It seems like every few years, there are rumors that a new Gremlins movie is in the works. And every time, fans get excited at the prospect of seeing their favorite, furry little creatures back on the big screen.
So far, nothing has come of these rumors and it doesn’t seem like anything is currently in development. But that doesn’t mean that a new movie will never happen.
The original Gremlins was released in 1984 and was a huge success, both commercially and critically. It spawned a sequel, Gremlins 2: The New Batch, in 1990. Both movies have remained popular over the years and have developed a cult following.
With that being said, it’s not surprising that there is demand for another movie. And with Hollywood always looking for the next big franchise, it’s possible that a new Gremlins movie could eventually happen. For now though, fans will just have to keep hope alive and wait for any news on a possible new installment in the beloved franchise.
Who doesn’t want a new Gremlins movie?
It has been over 30 years since the original Gremlins movie was released and there have been no new movies since then. In recent years, there has been some talk about a new Gremlins movie being made, but so far nothing has come of it. It is not clear if there is any new interest in the franchise or if anyone is actually working on a new movie.
What would a new Gremlins movie be about?
Although there is no set release date or indication that a new Gremlins movie is in development, it’s possible that the franchise could be revived in the future. The original film was released in 1984 and was a critical and commercial success, spawning a sequel in 1990.
It’s been over 25 years since the last Gremlins movie, so any new installment would likely focus on a new generation of characters. Given the popularity of nostalgia-driven properties like Stranger Things and IT, it’s possible that a new Gremlins movie could tap into that same sense of ’80s nostalgia.
Of course, any new Gremlins movie would have to be handled with care, as the original film is considered a classic by many fans. It would be interesting to see how a modern audience would react to the mischievous creatures, and whether or not they would still hold the same appeal.
When could a new Gremlins movie come out?
It’s been nearly 35 years since the release of the original 1984 film Gremlins, and fans have been clamoring for a sequel ever since. In 1990, a sequel titled Gremlins 2: The New Batch was released, but it has been met with mixed reviews over the years.
Now, it seems that Warner Bros. is finally considering making a new Gremlins movie. In May 2018, it was reported that Warner Bros. was developing a reboot of the franchise with screenwriter Darren Lemke attached to the project.
There is no word yet on when a new Gremlins movie could come out, but with Lemke attached to write the screenplay, it seems that Warner Bros. is serious about making it happen.
Conclusion
Yes, a new Gremlins movie is currently in development. It is being written by Justin Lin and will be produced by Amblin Entertainment.
