Take this with a grain of salt, but MarketSaw 3D is reporting that another Gremlins film is not only headed our way, but it will be in 3D as well.

Again I have very good information from a top source that tells me another GREMLINS movie is coming to the silver screens and it will be in stereoscopic 3D! It is in the early stages with still lots of hurdles to pass, but it is being developed. This is not a 3D conversion of the original to be clear.

The article is very brief and it’s a big unclear on whether or not this will be a sequel or a remake. You should also remember that this is the same blog that is reporting the “Ghostbusters 3 in 3D” rumor, which hasn’t been confirmed yet either.

Personally, I wouldn’t have a problem with a third Gremlins film, as long as they can find a way to combine the dark nature of the first film with the zany comedy of its sequel. With today’s effects technology, there is potential for some great Gremlins-related fun and anyone who has seen the infamous BT commercial knows that they can successfully integrate the puppets with their CGI counterparts. On the other hand, anyone who has listened to the commentaries on the special edition DVDs will know just how much of a pain it was to shoot with the puppets, especially Gizmo! I can easily see why they might option to not use the puppets as much, if at all.
