Goddammit. I wzas JUST saying the other day how Gremlins 2 is a perfect sequel in a franchise-dominated world, AND prevents a third movie from being considered. At least from Joe Dante, who is the best person suited to make those movies.

Produced by Spielberg and directed by Chris Columbus? Sounds schmaltzy and they didn't even start!

    Bah, some movie exec “inspired” by ai chatbots most likely.

    There’s a book by Robert Rankin where the world is completely out of ideas and people are watching Terminator 283 (iirc) in the theaters, and thinking it “tends to get a bit samey”. To be honest this news sounds way too much like the book.

    Will it be bad? Yes.

    Will I watch it? Probably not.

    But I might watch it when it comes to streaming services.

    Please please don't,it'll suck and we all know it will. Everyone working on it knows it will,everyone in the studio knows it and everyone in the audience knows it. It'll cost way too much, be shit amd ruin the two originals too. No one will care about making a good picture because they all know its going to suck and lose millions of dollars, don't do a ghostbuster! Just rerelise the original one and two and make movie off a movie that's already made, don't do this irs such a bad idea amd everyone knows, stop killing all the good things

    I’ll wait for the reviews and then decide if it’s worth my time.

    Nostalgia bombing yet again. Im so over it dude. What happened to new original films? Did all the writers die? Is it cause they are treated like shot and constantly have to strike for fair pay?

    Another remake. Yay.

    When will it end? I won't even waste the SSD space pirating these cash grabs.

    Why do they keep making cash grabs 36 years too late and half baked. Don't these movies lose more money then they make.

    The only thing I can think is because

    A) Nostalgia farming worked really well for them in the 80s/90s, and they are unable to realize now is different

    B) They probably are making money on these unfortunately (though not as much as they want), and it is likely because a known and trusted IP is easier to sell than a fresh untrusted idea that could flop worse. The fracturization of the industry oddly doesn't help (like, back in the day everyone was watching the same things at the same time, now with 30k different streaming services it's almost impossible to put up the same numbers as back then).

    That said, I still hate it lmao.

    I didn't even know there was a Gremlins 2 movie (and I haven't even watched the 1st one).

    I've started going to arthouse cinemas, and I'm really enjoying cinematographies of lesser known countries. Boycott Hollywood slop, your local cinemas and play theatres would benefit from your patronage.

    One can only hope that they follow red letter media's pitch.

    The way things are going in the Untied States, I don't feel like I can look forward to American movies two years away. America is going to collapse or become more of a dictatorship by then.

    Can't imagine giving up a part of my limited lifespan watching this. Other commenters in this thread have no self respect.
