GREMLINS 3 & GOONIES 2
Was having a chat to a trooper over at Warner Bros today
about the “Gremlins 3” talk that arose this week. While
my source isn’t based at Warner Premiere – the newly
reformed direct to DVD arm of the Burbank boys – he can
confirm that there has been a bit of talk about another
“Gremlins” film in recent years at Warner, and believes
the project may have been suggested as a 'Warner
Premiere'.
“The talk has been going on for quite some time”, the WB
source says of a third “Gremlins” film, which many
speculate will utilise CGI rather than puppetry. "I
think that’s all it is at the moment. Talk. I know [name
removed] has a pretty full slate over at Premiere –
they’re looking at doing direct to video sequels to
Scooby Doo and The Goonies, and as you mentioned,
Premiere are soon to start production on The Lost Boys 2
and New Jack City 2 – so won’t be in any rush.
“..it isn’t possible to do anything on the budget of
those [DTV sequels], and to be half decent, this thing
would have to have a bit of money behind it, so I don’t
think one can safely say it’ll definitely end up one of
the titles on the Warner Premiere slate, but I believe
its a consideration”.
Backtracking here… “Scooby Doo 3”, that I know of, but
“Goonies 2”? The long-planned sequel to the 80s hit? The
one that Richard Donner [and the original cast] have
been trying to get off the ground since Lindsay Lohan
grew tits? And now, they’re going to slap Dick in the
face (bad choice of words) by doing a direct-to-DVD
sequel? Like that week old spaghetti I just ate, that
don’t sit will.
Thanks to 'Man in Hat'
