The Gremlins have returned! No, Gremlins 3 hasn’t been given the greenlight. Although, I’m sure some Hollywood executive is sitting at his desk reading this thinking “Now, there’s an idea!” In this new advertisement for BT’s tech support services, the critters from the 1980s film Gremlins do their best to scupper a late night in the office for Dragons’ Den star Peter Jones. Watch the advertisement below.
Discuss: Should Hollywood make another Gremlins movie?

Am 18 and they scared me when i first saw this film and they still scare me now.
Is this advert playing in different countries or just the one.
There is no place now for a gremlins movie, they had there chance and it is over now.

NO WAY!!! WHY would they do such a thing!
April 30th, 2008 at 12:59 pm
the answer is yes, we need another gremlins movie

Guillermo del Toro dumps hobbit, why not?

Of course we need a new Gremlins flick, are you kidding me? But it totally has to be with the puppets, much like in this commercial. I also feel it has to have a dark tone like the original, not a goofy one like the sequel. But with theaters being bombarded with sequels and remakes, I feel if the Gremlins were to come back, now would be the perfect time.

I will re-invent the gremlins series someday as a filmmaker, and you will all hate my movie.
WATCH ME.

I love that song
April 30th, 2008 at 3:14 pm
I’d love to see a Gremlins 3. I was surprised the second one didn’t do better box office considering it’s fucking brilliant.
April 30th, 2008 at 4:31 pm
PERFECT FOR UWE BOLL
LOL, I keed, I don’t need my teenage years raped by that balding goof.

It could be cool if it was done right, a good script, a god director, a return from the original characters, and puppets, NO CGI, like most ovies do.
April 30th, 2008 at 7:23 pm
man, it’s fucking AWESOME to see creatures that aren’t CGI. that brought me right back…the New Batch was one of the greats.
April 30th, 2008 at 7:56 pm
omg whyyyyyyy. This song will be stuck in my head for days now.

Also, wasn’t Gremlins the first film to basically get the first R rating?
April 30th, 2008 at 9:54 pm
No, but it helped to create the PG-13 rating.
I’d love to see a Gremlins 3, but only if it were to have minimal amounts of CGI. A lot of the charm comes from the puppetry.
April 30th, 2008 at 9:59 pm
god no
the first two were great, and they would just find a way to screw it up
April 30th, 2008 at 10:52 pm
Only if Joe Dante gets total control and CGI is banned.

I freakin’ love Gremlins, and I would be so down for a new movie. Or just a remake, I’d be fine with that too.
May 1st, 2008 at 4:24 am
Aaah, brilliant. How I love those films!
May 1st, 2008 at 8:24 am
1st movie= awesome classic
2nd movie=goofy crap
If they made a 3rd movie that was like the first, just plain gremlins, no cgi, and dark, it could be great! Set it somewhere big like New York and pretend like the 2nd movie never existed.
May 15th, 2008 at 7:00 pm
perfect timing for a sequel and old sly has proven it can be done succesfully. after seeing the bt advert it gave me a glimmer of hope! direct to dvd bad idea and i hope they dont go the gremlins 2 way although i liked it, it was as if they were trying to debunk the film way too much
July 18th, 2008 at 3:55 pm
they say it wont be made anytime soon
it was a gret movie
so was the 2nd but they dont care about
gremlins all they care about is how much money
they can get by makeing movies it could lose alot of
theire money reuniting the cast and
everything else

I’m not sure they could really do a return to the style of the first movie. I mean, 2 took a lot of the Gremlins world and made jokes of it. I don’t think you could easily undo all that and go back to a purely dark film. I suppose you could, but Gremlins 2 would always be in the back of your mind. “Aren’t the same guys who had a musical number?”
Then again, maybe someone could pull off a purely dark movie and could be fun. I for one liked a lot of the comedy in the 2nd movie, though I wouldn’t want a 3rd movie to be a clone of the 2nd one. Maybe a combination of the two, dark but with some humor thrown in here and there. I guess thats kinda how the 1st movie was actually. :P
Either way I’ll watch it. I’m eagerly awaiting Gremlins 3: An Even Newer Batch.
