Purists will be glad to hear this bit of news.
The “Gremlins” reboot isn’t on the cards… at the moment.
Screenwriter Seth Grahame-Smith (who has penned a “Beetlejuice” sequel) says everyone – namely Chris Columnbus, Steven Spielberg, and the bigwigs behind the franchise – says the third “Gremlins” movie has hit a road block.
“It was a completely different cast of characters, but acknowledging the events of the first two movies…I think we just ran out of steam”, he tells EW. “It’s one of those things where everybody got busy doing other things. It’s something I would love to come back to, but right now Steven’s making two movies back to back and Chris Columbus is busy. We’re all taking a five-minute break on that.”
As for the “Beetlejuice” sequel, Grahame-Seth believes it’ll be Tim Burton’s next movie.
“I’ve emailed with Michael Keaton. I know he’s excited about the idea. I know Tim is excited about the idea. Where it stands now is Tim’s got to get ready to make [Miss Peregrine’s Home For Peculiar Children] and then hopefully we are set, deals are done, and we’re waiting in the wings ready to go right after Peregrine’s wraps up. The ideal timeline is we’re really getting into it toward the end of this year.”
