By A new feature piece at Deadline on Warner Bros. Discovery has confirmed that new entries in “The Goonies” and “Gremlins” franchises are in development at Warner Bros. Discovery.
Filmmaker Chris Columbus, who wrote the original 1980s dark comedy creature feature, is linked to the new “Gremlins” but the involvement of director Joe Dante is unclear.
Dante has served as a consulting producer on the Max animated series “Gremlins: Secrets of the Mogwai” which has been seen as something of a test bed for if there is still interest in the franchise.
A “Goonies” follow-up remains the more interesting prospect though. Talk of a new “Goonies” has floated around for seemingly decades, but the death of director Richard Donner seemed to scuttle those hopes.
The report suggest there is still some life in the project which would most likely be a legacy sequel bringing back some of the child stars, who are now adults, with kids of their own going on an adventure.
As both projects are in development stages, who knows when they might arrive.
