GREMLINS 3 Script Is Written and Ready to Go, but It's Waiting on Steven Spielberg's Greenlight — GeekTyrant
Speaking at Comic-Con Manchester, Galligan told fans, 'After 35 years, they've come up with a script. Warner Bros. is incredibly interested in doing it, apparently it's waiting on Mr. Spielberg to read it and approve it.'
That's big news for fans of the mischievous Mogwai. Galligan also pointed to the success of Beetlejuice Beetlejuice as the driving force behind the revival of legacy sequels.
That movie brought back Michael Keaton nearly four decades after Tim Burton's original, and now Warner Bros. seems hungry to revisit more of its classic IPs, including Gremlins 3 and a new The Goonies sequel.
Back in April, Warner Bros. Pictures co-chair/CEO Pam Abdy said, 'We're super excited about Amblin developing with Chris Columbus new entries in the Gremlins and Goonies franchises.'
If these films are going to actually happen, I just hope that the stories and scripts are strong! I think it's pretty wild that we actually might be getting a Gremlin's 3 movie and it will be interesting to see what story it will tell.
This isn't the first time Gremlins 3 has sparked excitement. The film has been in some form of development hell for years, with Chris Columbus, who wrote the original film and directed Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone , frequently championing the project.
In fact, back in 2017, Columbus revealed he was 'aggressively working' on a 'twisted and dark script' with writer Carl Ellsworth.
Importantly, Columbus has made it clear that Gremlins 3 would not be a reboot. It's a direct sequel and he even said in 2020 that the team would stick with practical effects rather than CGI, using classic puppets and animatronics to bring the creatures to life once again.
If Spielberg gives his seal of approval and things move quickly, filming could begin next year. That means we might finally see Gremlins 3 hit theaters in 2027.
Until then, you can stream Gremlins and Gremlins: The New Batch now on Amazon Prime. Keep your Mogwai dry, and stay tuned for more updates.

‘Four Daughters' and ‘Daughters Courageous': Romance and More
My family recently took the TCM Classic Films Tour at the Warner Bros. lot in Burbank, California. When our guide asked if there were any particular shows, films, or actors about which we wanted to learn more, my sister responded with John Garfield and Errol Flynn. The guide blithely skipped over the first name to inform us she knew many stories about Errol Flynn. Despite being a largely unremembered star in the Warner firmament, Garfield was one of the studio's biggest stars from the late 1930s through the mid-'40s, particularly in the crime and gangster genres. Garfield started out as a stage actor. His screen career began auspiciously with the film 'Four Daughters' (1938). This film not only catapulted the young actor to stardom but also spawned a successful trilogy. Meanwhile, a spin-off, 'Daughters Courageous' (1939), featured almost the same cast in a different story. 'Four Daughters' Classical flutist and conductor Adam Lemp (Claude Rains) has four musically gifted daughters, Thea (Lola Lane), Emma (Gale Page), Kay (Rosemary Lane), and Ann (Priscilla Lane). Thea and Emma are being respectively courted by wealthy Ben Crowley (Frank McHugh) and florist Ernest Talbot (Dick Foran).

Hudson asked the musician if he was dating someone, and Common had the perfect response. "I'm in a relationship that is with one of the most beautiful people I ever met in life," he said. "She's smart, she loves God, she has something real down-to-earth about her, she's talented." Hudson gave PEOPLE an update on her relationship in June 2024 at the 2024 Daytime Emmy Awards. 'Everything is wonderful," the American Idol winner said at the time. "That's all you need to know." The following month, Common told PEOPLE about their collaboration on his song "A GOD (There Is)" from his collaborative album with producer Pete Rock titled The Auditorium Vol. 1 . "I loved it, because when I played it to musician friends, they were like, 'Who is that singing?' " he gushed. "I'm like, 'That's Jennifer!' It doesn't sound like things you've heard from her before. I love that we were able to utilize her gifts in a new space. She brought it, man." The Jennifer Hudson Show returns for season 4 on Monday, Sept. 15. Read the original article on People

John Cena Talks SUPERMAN's Impact on PEACEMAKER Season 2 and His Loyalty to James Gunn — GeekTyrant
With James Gunn's Superman soaring high in both critical and box office circles, eyes are now on what that success means for the second season of Peacemaker . According to series star John Cena, the positive momentum is a good sign for the future of the DCU—and for the man behind the vision. When asked about his surprise Superman cameo, Cena didn't hesitate to credit Gunn for the easy decision to jump in. "The cameo came about because he asked me, and he could ask me to go to the ends of the Earth and if I could do it, then I'll do it. He's one of the people on a short list, which I admire and respect and really do as much as I can for them. He's changed my life completely, as I stand here in [the Peacemaker costume]." It's that deep respect for Gunn that makes Cena especially excited to see the audience rally behind Superman as the new DC Universe's foundation. "I think to have audiences around the world, embrace James' vision of Superman, which is James' vision for the DCU, is exciting for all of us. It shows that people are interested and they know that Superman is more than just a standalone movie. It's an installment in something larger and I think everyone is eager to see the next chapter." That next chapter is Peacemaker Season 2, which will keep its gritty, unfiltered tone but go even deeper into the DCU web Gunn is weaving. The new season finds Peacemaker facing a version of life he's always dreamed of, only to be forced into a reckoning with his past and an uncertain future. James Gunn returns to write all eight episodes and directs three, including the season opener. Cena is back in full gear, joined once again by Danielle Brooks, Freddie Stroma, Jennifer Holland, and Steve Agee, as the crew steps into a bigger narrative than ever before. This time, the story stretches far beyond Team Peacemaker. Frank Grillo enters the scene as Rick Flag Sr., connecting threads between Superman , Creature Commandos , and what lies ahead for the DCU. Fans can also look forward to crossover appearances from Superman characters like Isabela Merced as Hawkgirl, Nathan Fillion as Guy Gardner, and Sean Gunn as the shady Maxwell Lord. On top of all that, Peacemaker Season 2 will introduce a new face with Red St. Wild, played by Michael Rooker, another staple of Gunn's cinematic world. With Superman clearing the runway and Peacemaker set to take off again, it's looking like a wild, fun, and connected ride ahead for DC fans.
