Gremlins 3 waiting on Steven Spielberg script approval
Gremlins 3 has a script and is waiting on approval from Steven Spielberg. 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.

"Gremlins 3" Gets Promising Update
Yara Sameh '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. 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 Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs 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

GREMLINS 3 Script Is Written and Ready to Go, but It's Waiting on Steven Spielberg's Greenlight — GeekTyrant
Several months ago we learned that Gremlins 3 was in development, and now it seems like its very close to going into production. According to Zach Galligan, who played Billy Peltzer in the original Gremlins films, the third installment has a completed script. All that's left is a thumbs-up from Steven Spielberg. 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. Via: TikTok
