GREMLINS Star Thinks New Movie Is Inevitable

Gremlins star Zach Galligan thinks Gremlins 3 is inevitable. Especially if HBO Max’s animated series called Gremlins: Secrets of the Mogwai gets “Mandalorian-big.”
He tells EW: “They are doing a ten-part animated series called Gremlins: Secrets of the Mogwai for HBO Max coming out later this year. You just simply have to look at the nature of the way large entertainment corporations deal with franchises and properties over the years and decades. 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 Mandalorian-big, then I think Gremlins 3 is inevitable.”

This update comes after Chris Columbus promising the new film will use tangible puppets instead of CGI: “I would love to do [Gremlins 3]. I wrote a script, so there is an existing script. We’re working out some rights issues right now, so we’re just trying to figure out when the best time to make that film would be. I would still do it the same way – I would do it as tangible puppets, not CGI… We had one stop-motion scene in the first Gremlins, but I don’t think I’d use much CGI in Gremlins 3.”
Gremlins begins when a gadget salesman looking for a special gift for his son finds one at a store in Chinatown. The shopkeeper warns him to never expose the mogwai to bright light, water, or to feed him after midnight. All of this happens and the result is a gang of gremlins that decide to tear up the town on Christmas Eve.
