There have been rumors circling the net in regards to a continuation of the Gremlins franchise – be it as a reboot or sequel – for close to a decade. Now, according to a post on AICN, the project is on the fast-track towards production at Warner Bros.

That’s right, folks. A Gremlins reboot is allegedly being planned and rushed towards the box office as we speak. No director or casting information has been revealed, but last year Warner Bros. did bring on Seth Grahame-Smith and David Katzenberg to produce.

Joe Dante, the director of the original Gremlins, has not been mentioned in any talk related to this reboot. I would like to think he would be interested in working on the project again, but whether or not it will even be offered to him remains to be seen.

I know there will be readers who think there is absolutely no way the magic of Gremlins could be created again, but I think it’s far too early to jump to any conclusions. With the right director and creative team, a reboot could allow a new generation to learn an appreciation for comedy-leaning horror that other modern releases have been unable to deliver.

We’ll bring you more information on this supposed Gremlins reboot as soon as additional details begin to surface. For now, click below to revisit the trailer for the original Gremlins in glorious HD.
