"Gremlins" is a beloved film. The hit 1984 horror comedy has inspired more than a few people since its release. Legendary post-rock band Mogwai is named after the film's iconic creatures, and the movie was so unexpectedly violent that it helped spawn the PG-13 rating.
But then came "Gremlins 2," and the less successful sequel put the franchise on ice. Chris Columbus, who wrote the first movie, has been working on a "Gremlins 3" script ever since, and now, it looks like his hard work is paying off. 41 years since the first movie, Warner Bros. Discovery officially announced during a third-quarter earnings call that Columbus would be reuniting with fellow legendary director Steven Spielberg for "Gremlins 3." The movie is tentatively slated for a Nov. 19, 2027, release date, 37 years after "Gremlins 2" and 43 years after the original Gremlins movie that started it all.
