Gremlins 3 still in development; will not contain CGI

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

In an interview with Collider about his upcoming Netflix sequel – THE CHRISTMAS CHRONICLES: PART TWO – writer/director Christopher Columbus spoke a bit about his idea for an upcoming GREMLINS 3, which would include keeping the creatures practical rather than CGI.

Here's the pertinent section:

I would love to do it. I wrote a script, so there is an existing script. We’re working out some rights issues right now, so we’re just trying to figure out when the best time to make that film would be. I would still do it the same way – I would do it as tangible puppets, not CGI. Maybe having — you know we had one stop-motion scene in the first Gremlins, but I don’t think I’d use much CGI in Gremlins 3.

However, the article points out, there are rights issues to contend with, but that the door is still open – especially with a full script already written.

Meanwhile, the animated series GREMLINS: SECRETS OF THE MOGWAI will be coming to HBO Max next year!

So what do you guys think? Would you like a new GREMLINS sequel? Either way, sound off below!
