Chris Columbus Confirms Gremlins Reboot Is in the Works

The Gremlins movie in development has been confirmed as a reboot.

There’s no rule in Hollywood saying they can’t dip into the old intellectual property well as often as they want. In fact, right now nostalgia, especially 80s nostalgia, is as popular as a Cabbage Patch Kid at Christmas. Some rules were made to be broken, and others must be followed. Rules like: keep it away from sunlight, don’t get it wet, and don’t feed it after midnight. 

The operative “it” being a gremlin.  

In a recent sit-down with Movieweb, original Gremlins screenwriter Chris Columbus confirmed that he’s working on a reboot. “[I’m] working on a script for Gremlins, a new Gremlins reboot that I feel, if there’s a reason to do it. Let’s do it,” he told the outlet.

James Gunn is once again stirring the pot. Just hours after confirming the upcoming Man of Tomorrow movie isn’t a straightforward Superman 2, the DC Studios co-head took to social media to describe Peacemaker Season 2 as the “Man of Tomorrow prequel.”

Colin Farrell Confirms Penguin Won’t Play a Big Part in The Batman 2

Since the release of The Batman in 2022 and its spin-off, The Penguin on HBO Max, fans have speculated on the future of franchise and the character. Not Batman. He’s a given, though James Gunn’s parallel DC Universe seems in conflict with writer/director Matt Reeves’ darker world. But how will Colin Farrell’s Oz Cobb, aka: The Penguin, feature in The Batman 2?

Now we may have an idea, and it’s not as prominently as we might have thought given the success of his solo show.

Disney to Pay $10 Million for Allegedly Mishandling Children’s Data on YouTube

Disney to Pay $10 Million for Allegedly Mishandling Children’s Data on YouTube

The Walt Disney Company is facing yet another controversy, this time not in the form of box office misfires or declining theme park attendance, but in the realm of online privacy. According to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), Disney improperly labeled YouTube videos targeted at children, which allowed the unlawful collection of personal data from under-13 viewers.

The result: a $10 million settlement and a new compliance program that puts Disney under regulatory scrutiny for years to come.
