Gremlins 3 has supposedly been in the works for years now, but star Zach Galligan recently spoke about the project in an interview and shed some new light on the mysterious film.

ZACH GALLIGAN GIVES INSIGHT INTO GREMLINS 3 PRODUCTION

Director Chris Columbus is vying to be the director on this project, and reportedly regrets stepping away from Gremlins 2. Of the third, he has said, “There will never be a remake, there will never be a reboot, there will only be a sequel.”

While issues in the past have arisen when it came to producers and distributors, Galligan assures us that this movie will eventually get made. “Warner Bros definitely wants it, Chris Columbus wants to do it because he’d like to undo the Gremlins 2 thing as he wasn’t thrilled with it, and [StevenSpielberg wants to do it,” Galligan said.

So Gremlins 3 will be a completely new movie that will take place in the present day. Here is Galligan’s full answer on what this movie could potentially be: “[Columbus] has been aggressively working on a Gremlins 3 that takes place in present day. He tantalizingly says there will be some NEW characters and some OLD characters – I guess in the style of a Force Awakens type sequel. One thing we know for sure is they have a writer on board. The only insight I can give is the following: There was a 6-year gap between Gremlins and Gremlins 2; most of that time was spent with them writing and rejecting ideas and re-writing. One of the ideas that was rejected was ‘Gremlins in Vegas.’ They went with that for 18 months and felt it was too expensive. Eventually they came up with the tower idea, where essentially I’m working for Donald Trump, our new President! That took six years to happen. Carl Ellsworth has been apparently working on the script for a year and a half now. If no new names start appearing on the IMDb listing, then that means they like the script. If new names start appearing, y’know Kevin Smith appears, it means it’s back in rewrites with a new vision.”
