Gremlins 3 waiting on Spielberg script approval
Gremlins lead actor Zach Galligan has revealed that Warner Bros is 'incredibly interested' in making a follow up to 1984's Gremlins 2 and are just waiting on executive producer Spielberg to approve the script.
According to Games Radar, Galligan – who played Billy Peltzer in Gremlins and it's sequel - said during an appearance at Comic-Con Manchester: '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. But you can thank the success of Beetlejuice Beetlejuice.'
Back in April, Warner Bros. Pictures co-chief Pam Abdy, revealed new entries in the Gremlins franchise were in the works.
She told Deadline: 'Adding to things we're excited about, Andy Serkis doing the Gollum film, Drew Goddard writing a new Matrix. We're super excited about Amblin developing with Chris Columbus new entries in the Gremlins and Goonies franchises. We just had a dynamite check-in with Philippa Boyens on Gollum, and I think we're about to get that script in May. Cat in the Hat and the second Dr. Seuss adaptation Jon M. Chu is co-directing … there's really great stuff on the horizon.'
Gremlins was a horror comedy directed by Joe Dante from a script written by Chris Columbus.
The first movie starred Galligan, Phoebe Cates and Hoyt Axton with Howie Mandel voicing the character of Gizmo.
In the film, Galligan's character is gifted a mogwai named Gizmo but things go horribly wrong after he fails to follow the three strict rules for looking after him.

Ocean's prequel to be helmed by Twisters director Lee Isaac Chung
Lee Isaac Chung is to direct an Ocean's prequel. The 46-year-old filmmaker - who recently helmed Twisters - is attached to direct a prequel to the 2001 crime flick Ocean's Eleven for Warner Bros., Deadline has said. While the project is said to be in early development and plot details are being kept under wraps, the screenplay is being written by A Family Affair scribe Carrie Solomon. The Ocean's prequel - which will be based on characters created by George Clayton Johnson and Jack Golden Russell - will be produced by Warner Bros. and Margot Robbie under her LuckyChap Entertainment banner. The actress was previously said to have been also attached to star in the Ocean's prequel alongside her Barbie castmate Ryan Gosling, though current reports indicate no one has officially been cast in the movie yet. While story details are unknown, it was reported the Ocean's prequel would be set in 1960's Europe and would feature Robbie and Gosling as the parents of Danny (George Clooney) and Debbie Ocean (Sandra Bullock). Austin Powers filmmaker Jay Roach had initially been attached to direct the movie, but Chung's involvement in the project indicates that is no longer the case. The first Ocean's 11 released in 1960, and starred five members of the Rat Pack - Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr, Peter Lawford and Joey Bishop - as they tried to pull off the ultimate heist in Las Vegas. In 2001, the franchise was rebooted by director Steven Soderbergh, and starred George Clooney, Julia Roberts, Matt Damon and Brad Pitt. Ocean's Eleven follows the charismatic thief Danny Ocean (Clooney) as he assembles a team of specialists to pull off an audacious heist: robbing three of Las Vegas's biggest casinos in a single night. As the elaborate plan unfolds, slick deception and personal stakes collide in a stylish game of risk and reward. The film was followed by the sequels Ocean's Twelve in 2004 and Ocean's Thirteen in 2007. Then in 2018, the series was continued with the all-female Ocean's 8, which starred Sandra Bullock, Cate Blanchett, Anne Hathaway, Rihanna and Helena Bonham Carter. In Ocean's 8, Danny Ocean's sister Debbie (Bullock) recruits a team of skilled women to execute a daring heist at New York's Met Gala. Their target: a $150 million Cartier necklace, and the perfect plan to walk away with it undetected. As well as the Ocean's Eleven prequel, another sequel is potentially also in the works, which would reportedly bring back Clooney's Danny Ocean, Pitt's Rusty Ryan and several other stars from the original team. In 2023, Clooney teased the project and told Uproxx: 'We have a really good script for another Ocean's now, so we may end up doing another one. It's actually a great script.' When asked whether the possible project was intended to become Ocean's Fourteen, the Wolfs star said: 'Well, I don't want to call it that … I mean, the idea is kind of like Going in Style.'
