Zach Galligan reveals that Gremlins 3 is almost ready and just needs Spielberg to sign off on it

https://www.joblo.com/zach-galligan-gremlins-3-update/

Zach Galligan, who played Billy Peltzer in the two Gremlins films revealed,

They’ve come up with a script. Warner Bros. is incredibly interested in doing it. Apparently, it’s waiting on Mr. Spielberg to read it and improve it, but, you can thank the success of Beetlejuice Beetlejuice.

This is interesting because director Joe Dante purposefully made Gremlins 2 really wacky so they they couldn't make a third film.

Gremlins was fun and Gremlins 2 was a masterwork of camp. I only hope they make Gremlins 3 even more stupid and over the top.

I hope they let Star Magic Johnson Jr back in the writers room for this one

When someone mentions Gremlins 2, this sketch is the second thing that comes to mind. 🤣

Gremlins 2 was really wacky? I remember it being really dumb.

wacky = dumb if you can't bring yourself to enjoy camp
