"Gremlins" Japanese Theatrical Poster
Vulture reports that Warner is in negotiations with Steven Spielberg’s Amblin Entertainment to reboot the 1984 horror comedy, Gremlins. No details have emerged, but we expect to hear some major updates in the next few days.
Directed by Joe Dante, the original Gremlins is about a boy who unleashes a horde of malevolently monsters in a small town after he breaks three important rules concerning his mysterious pet. The widley popular film spawned a sequel in 1990 called Gremlins 2: The New Batch. Warner has been planning a third installment, but now that news of the Gremlins reboot has surfaced, say bye-bye to Gremlins 3.
They got it ass-backwards. Ghostbusters needs a reboot, and Gremlins needs a sequel.
