[KyoZz]

Another legendary IP for the trash bin

 

[AJUMP23]

WHY?

Gremlins 2 I think is a masterclass of movies that will not be topped.

Chasing nostalgia.

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

If it's chris columbus it could be great.

 

[JimmyRustler]

Another sequel no one asked for.

 

[Shadowplay1979]

Theres no way for them to do this properly and they will be too afraid to do it improperly, which is why gremlins 2 worked.

 

[JeTmAn81]

Our greatest explorer back to direct? I'm in.

 

[GymWolf]

Jesus why?

 

[Miyazaki’s Slave]

Ugh…no way they will do practical FX work for this.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

Another victim of Ghostbusters syndrome

Time was the enemy. Both movies were good, and I remember the sequel more...

It's pointless; they should have released it in the 2000s or late 90s.

It's going to end up like Beetlejuice 2, its enemy was time.

I always wanted a Gizmo plushie

 

[diffusionx]

if they do it with shitty cgi then no chance of being good

 

[Delt31]

I'm excited. Chris and Steve know better to not CGI this. It's in good hands

 

[nush]

Don't worry about that, the shelves will be stacked with unsold baby Yoda's repackaged with fur stuck to them when the movie is released. You'll be able to get one then.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

The most memorable scene of the sequel



My favorites are

 

[MaestroMike]

 

[JeTmAn81]

If someone else didn't drop this I would have

 

[Pejo]

God dammit. You just know it's going to be ruined like everything else.

 

[DKehoe]

Continuing to pander to the childhoods of Millenials and Gen-Xers feels like a dead end.

 

[AJUMP23]

Jesus why?

He has nothing to do with it.

 

[Billbofet]

More man baby memberberries.

 

[AREYOUOKAY?]

They waited too long and now the Hulkster is gone.

 

[Hookshot]

Red Letter Media to sue for stolen ideas.

 

[Mr Hyde]

Cautiously optimistic. Love the first two movies, but I'm wary of these sequels that comes 20 years later. The only good ones I can think of is Trainspotting 2 and Beetlejuice 2. But if Columbus and Spielberg approaches this project with practical effects instead of being cheapskates and fuck it up with CG, along with a funny script and likeable characters, this could end up awesome.

 

[DeepEnigma]

I have zero hope for this.

They waited too long and now the Hulkster is gone.

The "uh oh" when he said "listen up" is still great

 

[Phobos Base]

They waited too long and now the Hulkster is gone.

They can just CGI him in, the Hulkster ain't doing no job for the Reaper brother.

 

[nush]

Continuing to pander to the childhoods of Millenials and Gen-Xers feels like a dead end.

They've salted the land too much at this point.

 

[Werewolf Jones]

The 2nd came out when I was still in the womb.

Fucking hell.

 

[Chuck Berry]

From what I recall from my childhood, most people HATED Gremlins 2 when it released.

As a kid though I was all over it. And the Sunsoft game was the shit.

 

[Rentahamster]

I hope they do Red Letter Media's idea for Gremlins 3.

Played the Game Boy game like crazy. Gremlins was everywhere. If you grew up in the 80s and 90s, you surely had a girlfriend who had a Gizmo doll.

 

[falconhoof]

No Joe Dante?

I had one!

Haha, exactly what i was thinking. Just blow the cg budget on 30 seconds of the hulkster, and rock the rest practically.

My wife introduced me to Gremlins, continuing to make me a more cultured man.

 

[Rentahamster]

 

[Trunx81]

I had one!

I had (and still have) the Alf puppet.
We were different

 

[Badlucktroll]

will have old billy peltzer i bet and be about his family

 

[Trilobit]

I hope it's actually scary.

 

[Stitch]

They waited too long and now the Hulkster is gone.

I think the John Wayne Version is better

 

[SirKicksalot]

NOUN GREMLIN

 

[Rran]

I like how Gremlins 2 felt like a bunch of Mega Man bosses. There was the smart one, the electric one, the spider one...

 

[Space Runaway]

Hmmmm

Zach Lipovsky and Adam Stein will co-write the screenplay.

Bah

 

[Poppinfresh]

This only works if they bring back Zack Galligan and Phoebe Cates and set it in the original town.

 

[Dacvak]

There's been a resurgence in practical recently, so I'm hopeful they'll continue that here.

 

[Durien]

Rated NC-17 for Gremlin like violence and torture.

 

[lachesis]

Would be nice if there was Phoebe Cates type of protagonist.

 

[Beretta]

Probably going to be all CGI that will ruin everything.

 

[Valonquar]

Guess they are still just biding their time until the owners of Back to the Future die so they can finally mine that out.

 

[Dirk Benedict]

Ugh…no way they will do practical FX work for this.

If they do cgi, dead in the water. I don't ont even entertain the thought of seeing this if CGI.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

 

[FinalBossWithTheMostPower]

Apparently it's a sequel to the first movie.

I could see this working, Gizmo is timeless.

After all this time the concept is fresh again.
