Gremlins 3

In a recent interview with Collider, Chris Columbus stated he’s “working out some rights issues” regarding a third Gremlins movie.

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.

Later in the interview, Columbus promised the Gremlins of a potential sequel would continue to be portrayed by “tangible puppets, not CGI.”

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.

Killer Klowns from Outer Space 2

In a recent interview with Comic Book, Stephen Chiodo stated the success of Alien XMas could determine whether a Killer Klowns from Outer Space sequel moves forward at Netflix.

We are talking to [Netflix]. We’re talking all the time. Get this: we’ve been trying to do a sequel since we made the film and fans get angry with us. We don’t mention it too much, because they get angry. They say, ‘Oh, what’s the matter with you guys?’ But we’re trying. The business is just a bear, moves at a glacial pace. There’s interest, and it wanes and flows. You get some executives who really want to do it, then, all of a sudden, musical chairs. They’re out, a new regime is in, and they don’t get it.

We’ll see how Alien Xmas does with the Netflix people. We’ll see if they can embrace our sensibility. We have tons of ideas to really carry that through. So there’ll be hopefully something in the future.
