Gremlins 3 confirmed and it’s not a remake

A third Gremlins film is definitely happening, according to star Zach Galligan.

Galligan was speaking in London at a special screening of Gremlins in which he revealed to BBC that the next movie in the series will not be a remake.

“It’s not going to be a reboot. It will not be a remake in any way, shape, or form. Chris Columbus has come out and said that the first film is very near and dear to his heart and as long as he is alive it will never be remade. So the only thing they will be – and apparently are going to be – doing is something along the lines of like Jurassic World, where it will be 30 years later.”

He added that events would be linked to the first film, and that some of the characters would be back.

“I swear on my life, I don’t know if I’m in it or not, but I think there is probably a decent chance since I’m one of the few people left standing from the first movie. Hopefully they won’t use too much CGI, or the CGI will be really good like the Planet of the Apes movies, and hopefully we’ll have some practical effects too.”
