"Gremlins 3" Gets Promising Update
'Gremlins' lead actor Zach Galligan recently said during an appearance at Comic-Con Manchester (via Games Radar) that Warner Bros. is 'incredibly interested' in 'Gremlins 3.' Not only that, but the script is on the desk of executive producer Steven Spielberg and awaiting his sign-off.
Galligan played the lead role of Billy Peltzer in 1984's 'Gremlins' and 1990's 'Gremlins 2: The New Batch.'
'After 35 years, they've come up with a script,'Galligan said. '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.''
Warner Bros. released 'Beetlejuice Beetlejuice' in theaters in September 2024 to the tune of $452 million at the worldwide box office.
Like 'Gremlins,' Tim Burton's original 'Beetlejuice' was a beloved movie classic from the 1980s.
'Gremlins' has franchised with the 1990 sequel and various video games. An animated series, subtitled 'Secrets of the Mogwai' for Season 1 and 'The Wild Batch' for Season 2, started airing on HBO Max in 2023, with the last batch of new episodes hitting the streamer earlier this year in April.
Galligan had a recurring guest voice role on the animated series.
In an April interview with Deadline, Warner Bros. Pictures co-chief Pam Abdy let it slip that the studio was working with Spielberg's Amblin Entertainment on 'developing new entries in the 'Gremlins' and 'Goonies' franchises.'
News broke earlier in the year that Potsy Ponciroli had been hired to write the script for 'Goonies 2,' with Spielberg returning as a producer.
As far as 'Gremlins 3,' no writer or director has been announced for the project by Warner Bros. The original 'Gremlins,' which famously led to the creation of the PG-13 rating along with Spielberg's 'Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom,' was a box office hit with $212 million dollars worldwide.
The sequel was less successful with $41 million but became a cult classic.

"Spider-Verse" Spinoff Movie "Spider-Punk" in Works with Daniel Kaluuya
Yara Sameh The Spider-Verse is expanding once again. 'Spider-Punk,' a spinoff of 2023's animated hit 'Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse,' is in early development at Sony Pictures Animation. Daniel Kaluuya, who voiced the character in the comic book sequel, and Ajon Singh are developing and co-writing the feature. Plot details haven't been sorted out, but the film will center on the punk-rock version of Spider-Man — aka Hobie Brown — whose main weapon is his guitar. Kaluuya's character was introduced — along with many other iterations of the beloved web-slinger — in the multiversal adventure 'Across the Spider-Verse.' He is expected to return in 'Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse,' from producers Phil Lord, Chris Miller and Amy Pascal, who will also produce the 'Spider-Punk' project. It's unclear when 'Spider-Punk' will swing to theaters. For now, 'Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse,' the third entry in the web-slinging trilogy, won't be hitting the theaters until June 25, 2027. Though little is known about the threequel, the story picks up after the cliffhanger at the end of 'Across the Spider-Verse,' with protagonist Miles Morales (the main Spider-Man in this world) as a fugitive on the run while also trying to save his family from imminent danger. Sony's 'Spider-Verse' films have been critical and commercial winners, with the original 2018's 'Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse' grossing $384 million globally — in addition to winning the Oscar for best animated feature — and the sequel amassing an impressive $690 million at the worldwide box office. Kaluuya broke out in 2017 as the Oscar-nominated star of 'Get Out.' The British actor has since appeared on screen in 'Black Panther,' Steve McQueen's crime drama 'Widows,' Jordan Peele's 'Nope' and the Fred Hampton biopic 'Judas and the Black Messiah,' which earned Kaluuya his first Oscar statue. He is also currently developing a live-action 'Barney' movie for A24 and Mattel. read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Arts & Culture Lebanese Media: Fayrouz Collapses after Death of Ziad Rahbani Sports Get to Know 2025 WWE Evolution Results

Ed Sheeran Reunites with Doppelgänger Rupert Grint for New Music Video, 14 Years after "Lego House"
Yara Sameh Ed Sheeran fans are in for a double treat once again. Fourteen years after the pop star first tapped Rupert Grint to play his stalker/doppelgänger in the 2011 ' Lego House ' music video, the two ginger have teamed up once again for a new music video arriving very soon. Releasing Thursday alongside a new song titled 'A Little More,' the video will feature the Harry Potter star seemingly reprising his role from the 'Lego House' visual. In a clip posted by Sheeran on Monday, Grint steps out of a prison — where he appears to have spent the past decade and a half in custody — and starts walking as the memories of his past crimes flash through his mind. The montage that plays features clips from 'Lego House,' showing Grint getting tackled after he sneaks into a concert venue and pretends to be the Grammy winner onstage. '14 years later me and @rupertgrint are reunited,' Sheeran captioned the footage. 'I had this wild idea after writing the song, and thankfully rupert was up for it. It's an utterly bonkers video for a very upbeat, fun, but angry song.' The musician also confirmed that 'A Little More' will appear on his upcoming album Play, noting that he thinks it'll be 'a lot of people's fav song' on the September-slated project. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Ed Sheeran (@teddysphotos) Shortly prior to the official song announcement, Sheeran posted a funny clip of himself and Grint singing along to the lyrics. The two men have been poking fun at their similarities as fellow red-headed English stars for years. After Grint played Sheeran's obsessive fan in 'Lego House,' the Knock at the Cabin actor joked on an MTV News comedy skit that Sheeran was never a real person, but instead a character he made up. 'After Potter, all I wanted to do was stretch myself, create some real magic, so I created a character,' he said in the sketch. 'He'd have the voice of an angel, impossibly wispy facial hair. So I bought a guitar and a bunch of flannel, and I called him Ed — Ed Sheeran.' read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Arts & Culture Lebanese Media: Fayrouz Collapses after Death of Ziad Rahbani Sports Get to Know 2025 WWE Evolution Results

Margot Robbie in Talks to Lead & Produce Tim Burton's "Attack of the Fifty Foot Woman"Remake
Yara Sameh Margot Robbie is in early negotiations to join Tim Burton's remake of 'Attack of the Fifty Foot Woman' for Warner Bros. If the deal closes, Robbie would produce the remake with LuckyChap partners Tom Ackerley and Josey McNamara with an eye to star. News broke last February that Burton was working on a reimagining of the 1958 science-fiction horror movie, which follows a wealthy heiress who grows into a giant after an alien encounter and exacts revenge on her cheating husband. 'The Nightmare Before Christmas' creator planned to direct, as well as produce alongside Andrew Mittman and Tommy Harper. Kai Dolbashian serves as executive producer. 'Gone Girl' writer Gillian Flynn penned a first draft of the screenplay, but has since exited the project due to other commitments. The producing team is currently searching for a new writer, and Robbie's involvement as the lead actor would depend on the final version. The potential collaboration would be a union between two of Warner Bros.' most successful recent collaborators. The studio was eager to continue doing business with LuckyChap following the success of the Oscar-winning 'Barbie' — the highest-grossing movie of 2023 with $1.45 billion globally, as well as the biggest film in the studio's 100-year history — and signed the company to a multi-year, first-look feature film deal to collaborate on future projects. Robbie, a three-time Oscar nominee, next stars in WB's 'Wuthering Heights,' Emerald Fennell's adaptation of Emily Brontë's classic, which hits theaters next February, and LuckyChap is also developing an 'Ocean's Eleven' movie at the studio, with 'Twisters' director Lee Isaac Chung in talks to direct. Likewise, in 2024, the studio enjoyed big success with Burton's 'Beetlejuice Beetlejuice,' the long-awaited sequel to his 1988 classic 'Beetlejuice.' Despite debuting nearly 40 years after the original, the poltergeist scared up a strong $452 million at the global box office. read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Arts & Culture Lebanese Media: Fayrouz Collapses after Death of Ziad Rahbani Sports Get to Know 2025 WWE Evolution Results
