Gremlins 3 Feasting After Midnight With Original Franchise Writer Returning

Looks like Gremlins are making a comeback! It’s rumored that… The Third Installment of Gremlins is being developed, and the original creator, Christopher Columbus, is said to be revisiting the series he kick-started in 1984.

Originating from the cherished horror series, the initial launch was with the Christmas-themed horror-comedy titled “Gremlins,” which played a significant role in introducing the PG-13 rating. Six years following this, “Gremlins: The New Batch” emerged, offering a more whimsical portrayal of Gizmo and his companions that resembled the antics of “Looney Tunes.” Since then, enthusiasts have been eagerly awaiting the release of Gremlins 3.

Now, due to some significant changes at the helm of Warner Bros., those dreams are edging ever closer to being actualized.

Gremlins Grossed $212 Million Worldwide In 1984

When taking care of a mogwai, there are three rules you must always follow:

  1. They hate sunlight. Don’t expose them to it.
  2. Never feed them after midnight.
  3. Never get them wet.

Adhere to these basic guidelines, and everything will run smoothly. However, if things don’t go as planned, your movie won’t have a compelling storyline. Thus, when Billy inadvertently makes Gizmo wet and subsequently feeds numerous mogwais past midnight, a mix of horrifying and hilarious mayhem unfolds.

Under the direction of Joe Dante and penned by Christopher Columbus, who later became famous for movies like Home Alone, Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, Mrs. Doubtfire, and others, Gremlins emerged as a massive success. It grossed an impressive $149 million domestically and $212 million internationally, all on a budget of just $11 million.

The latest installment of “Gremlins,” titled “Gremlins: The New Batch,” didn’t perform as well financially, raking in just $41 million domestically compared to its $50 million production cost. Despite this, it has since garnered the same cult status as the original, sparking requests from fans for a third movie, “Gremlins 3.

Christopher Columbus Is Working On Gremlins 3

Due to Deadline’s updates about Warner Brother’s reorganization, we’ve learned that Christopher Columbus is developing a script outline for Gremlins 3. While this doesn’t guarantee he’ll write the film, it’s the strongest indication so far that we might see Gremlins 3 become a reality.

Initially, Columbus penned the screenplay for “Gremlins” as a means to gain entry into the world of Hollywood filmmaking. His inspiration stemmed from nocturnal rodents that frequently disturbed his sleep in his lofty quarters.

However, when darkness fell, it seemed as though a small army of mice were active, and their scurrying noises in the darkness gave me quite an eerie feeling.

35 years ago, fate placed the script into the hands of the legendary Steven Spielberg, and ever since, it has become a part of cinematic history. Here’s to crossing my fingers that destiny brings us another magical moment like that once more!
