New Gremlins And The Goonies Movies?

I came across the following post when I was on TAFKA Twitter last night.

Tweet About Gremlins and The Goonies
It states that, according to Deadline, Warner Bros. is looking to create new Gremlins and The Goonies movies.

Funnily enough, I entertained the idea of a third Gremlins film a few weeks ago when I watched Gremlins for the 2024 edition of The Diet of Christmas Films

Knowing that 2024 was the fortieth anniversary of its release, I thought to myself that '2024 would have been a perfect year to revisit this franchise'.

And that's all there was to it. I moved on figuring we already had the Gremlins content we were due with the two original movies plus the prequel animated series - Gremlins: Secrets of the Mogwai - which came out not that long ago.

As for The Goonies - well, according to the article, it looks like that film is only being talked about right now. No script has been written. Just a treatment being broached. 

For the love of God, I hope they don't go there. 

The Goonies is perfect as it is. We don't need a reboot. 

If they have to, I suppose a sequel - with all the original Goonies returning - would give me a nostalgia kick. I just don't want it to tarnish the original story in any way.

So - consider me very open to a third Gremlins film (no CGI, though!) but very cautious about a return to the Goon Docks.

The Goonies will celebrate its fortieth sometime this year.
