Gizmo May Be In Danger In The Completed Script For ‘Gremlins 3’

Chris Columbus (Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone) has finished his script for Gremlins 3. Everything indicates we will witness a much darker tale than with the first two films. There is even a rumor that Gizmo is in danger and might be killed in order to protect the human race from the Gremlins the adorable creature can spawn. Columbus himself has said that the script is “as twisted and dark as anything”. He has stated that he “wanted to go back to the really twisted sensibility of the first movie.” I’m really proud of the script. It is as twisted and dark as anything, so we’ll see. It’s always a budgetary conversation when we’re going to shoot it. I wanted to go back to the really twisted sensibility of the first movie. I found that was a very easy place for me to fall back into and start writing again, so hopefully we’ll see that movie soon.” Don’t worry

Who You Gonna Call? The Ghostbusters In 2019!

Fans had mixed emotions when it came to 2016’s female driven Ghostbusters. Many thought that franchise would end, but they were wrong. Ivan Reitman, the director of the original film and its sequel, made an appearance at a panel at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con. He revealed that he is very optimistic that a new sequel will possibly arrive around the original’s 35th anniversary in 2019. Well, the studio is working on some really nice things. First of all, I can’t believe the movie is still playing and being watched so assiduously… and I can’t believe I’m so old. Yeah, I think there’s going to be a lot of fun, a lot of special things. We’re going to try to tie one of our films close to that date.” It was also mentioned during the panel that the film will be live-action. He also talked about the animated series that is in the works. I think we have wonderful plans,

The Conjuring 3 Now Possesses A Writer

The Conjuring 3 now possesses a writer. David Leslie Johnson has signed on to write the screenplay for the next film of the ever growing franchise that has just announced its latest spin-off, a movie about the “Crooked Man” featured in The Conjuring 2, which he wrote. He was also behind the disturbing thriller Orphan. The buzz is James Wan, who directed the first film and the second which he co-wrote along with Carey and Chad Hayes, won’t be directing the third installment. This go-around Wan will produce through his company Atomic Monster along with Peter Safran. While the plot has not been revealed we do know that it will continue to document Ed and Lorraine’s investigations. There is a theory circulating that The Conjuring 3 will feature a werewolf, but we will just have to wait until the official plot is released to know for sure. As it stands, The Conjuring 3 will be the seventh film of the

Director And Lead Actor Confirmed For ‘World War Z 2’

In April we reported that David Fincher was in negotiations to direct the long awaited sequel to the 2013 zombie hit World War Z. Now, it’s official. In an interview with THR Paramount chairman Jim Gianopulos confirmed that the director has indeed signed on to helm the sequel. It has now also been confirmed that Brad Pitt will be reprising his role as Gerry Lane. This will be fourth film that Fincher and Pitt have worked together on, including Se7en, Fight Club, and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. During the interview Gianopulos revealed that the World War Z 2 is now in “advanced development”. Steven Knight, who penned the script back in 2014, said in 2015 that the sequel will be different from the first film and will be starting with a “clean slate”. There is no word at this time if Knight’s script will be still be used or if a new script has been written. In the

Director Johannes Roberts Confirms ‘The Strangers 2’ Has Begun Filming

After an eight years wait, the long-awaited sequel to Bryan Bertino’s frightening home invasion thriller The Strangers is finally on it’s way. Johannes Roberts, whose shark infested film 47 Meters Down opened in theaters this weekend, is at the helm for The Strangers 2 which has now begun filming. Roberts has said that the film, written by Bertino and Ben Ketai, will have a heavy John Carpenter influence. I’m in week two of filming. I looks absolutely incredible,” Roberts told Dread Central. “I love Bertino’s film, I think it’s an amazing movie and tonally this movie is going to fit very well into that universe. It has a real strong emotional heart, which the first one did, and it has a very cool retro feel to it, a lot of sort of references to… I mean, I always bring a lot of John Carpenter with me because that’s what I grew up on, but also maybe going back a bit

‘The Conjuring 3’ Will Be Very Different From Its Predecessors

The Conjuring franchise is quickly becoming one of the biggest franchises in the genre. The number of spin-offs keeps multiplying including Annabelle and Annabelle 2: Creation, The Nun which has entered production, and a possible Crooked Man film in the works. Now, The Conjuring is getting a third film. During an interview with CinemaBlend, producer Peter Safran talks about the next installment that will continue to explore the supernatural and paranormal investigations by Ed and Loraine Warren, played by Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga, and how The Conjuring 3 will be very different from its predecessors. There are some [cases] that maybe aren’t as well known, but they spent a fair bit of time researching and were part of [them]. Clearly, we can’t do another haunted house movie, right? We can’t do another supernatural possession in a house, with a family in peril. Right? So, it’s got to be something different than that, I think. There are a lot of

Zach Galligan Gives An Update On Gremlins 3

Studios are breathing new life into old franchise a lot lately. One sequel we have been looking forward to, but not hearing a lot about, is ‘Gremlins 3’. Bloody Disgusting points out that recently Zach Galligan, who stared in the first two films and has been working hard to keep the ‘Gremlins’ legacy alive, told Bleeding Cool where the sequel stands. Unfortunately, it is not at point we had hoped for. I think you can tell what’s happening with Gremlins 3 the same way you could tell with Gremlins 2. It’s the same people and they tend to work the same way. There is a huge time gap but it’s Warner Bros, Spielberg and Chris Columbus. Now, Chris Columbus didn’t have anything to do with Gremlins 2 – because by his own admission he didn’t see a franchise. He kind of regrets it I believe, but he was ‘one and done.’ I don’t think he cared for Gremlins 2 and

We’re Headed Back To Sleepaway Camp In New Film

Back in 1983 we witnessed a character named Angela (Felissa Rose) reveal a big (I don’t know if big is the right word) secrete in a scene that shocked the hell out of horror fans, I’m talking about ‘Sleepaway Camp’. The slasher flick spawned four sequels and is now about to add another film to the franchise. Before you jump the gun and assume it’s a reboot/remake, I should tell you that it will be a direct sequel to the original film. Back in 2013 former New Line executive Jeff Katz obtained the rights. He will be producing the sequel with the franchise’s creator and writer Robert Hiltzik. Katz recently spoke about the project on The Movie Crypt podcast. He explained that the new film will reveal what Angela has been in a sanitarium all these years. In the sequel she escapes and returns to Camp Arawak. Katz hopes that Rose will reprise her role as Angela. Let’s be honest,
