Would you want to see a Gremlins 3 where adorable Gizmo had to pay for the sins of his unplanned creations by being the sacrificial lamb?
Chris Columbus assures /Film that the third movie will continue to rely on puppetry to bring its creatures to life, though minimal CGI will be employed to assist the technique so it looks more contemporary (even though, for 1984, the Gremlins puppetry looks pretty damn great).
Maybe the plot is driven by a need to protect Gizmo after some radical group determines that he’s the ground-zero test case for the gremlin outbursts?
