Jaws 5, Goonies 2, Gremlins 3...oh my!
 
http://www.aintitcool.com/node/31513

Jaws 5 will be direct to DVD as well as Goonies 2 and Gremlins 3. Weee!

DrSpengler 02-09-2007 01:52 PM

I swear, if even ONE Gremlin is CGI...


I love the Gremlins films, but I know this is the best we'll ever get. Steven Spielberg himself has said he's ashamed of the films, calling them "too mean-spirited" (his words, not mine). I wonder what Spielberg thinks of Jaws, these days. :roll:

Since none of the talent wants to come back to do a third film, a straight to video sequel involving none of the cast (save for maybe Dick Miller and Corey Feldman...which would be awesome) is the best we're likely to get.

Drtooth 02-09-2007 02:37 PM

I don't really wanto to see the remake of Spies Like Us.... I mean, that's pretty dated material.

I mean, it has the 2 main characters giving weopons to Afganies to fight the Russians.... All I can yell out now is "BIG MISTAKE! Let the Commies win this one!" Sort of like what I do when I watch Seinfeld... you know... "NO! That's Not Jon Voight's car!!!"

Anyway, a direct to DVD sequal of anything is a little fuzzy. SO I really don't care about seeing any of these.

Unless Goonies 2 winds up about them saving a random Mermaid like the video game.

Mr._Mutant_Man 02-09-2007 04:03 PM

Like I said, Nostalgiamania is runnin' wild. I guess I'll give Gremlins 3 and Goonies 2 a shot. But if Goonies 2 is direct to DVD it will probably be Sandlot 2 levels of bad, where the original characters are only referenced and it is basically a poor attempt at a remake.

Spitfire 02-09-2007 05:36 PM

Great 3 ****** movies in one go.

LogicDonny 02-09-2007 05:40 PM

Gremlins 3: Honeymoon terror.

they should contuine the story of the gremlins how the female gremlin married that dude who she had a crush on.

Oh halfway through the movie, hulk hogan shoudl do another spoof

Bullsh*t. Man AICN better be wrong about this. It sucks. Come on, Gremlins 3 would be great on big screen, do it right and you have the Gremlins hype coming back. Make Gizmo die and you'll have tears in every friggin theaters. Atleast end this the right way. Gizmo's sacrifice to save the human race ! I'm already crying here !

As for Jaws 5, come on. Forget about a cgi shark and bring back the muppet !Make Jaws win this time. Make him kill everybody. We discovered tons of new amazing things about great white sharks. Use that ! and make us a ultimate Jaws or something.

These are bad news, one final chance to end some great series on a good note. And what's gonna be done ? Direct to dvd ! Yay !

The Jaws franchise died long ago and should not be unearthed for a damn direct-to-DVD sequel. Ugh...I know everyone's getting caught up in the sequel/prequel/reimagining business now, but some properties should stay dead and buried.

Then again, some are probably saying the same thing about TMNT. So there you go.

Ah man, now that's just a down ending for the sake of a down ending.:(

Yeah, and then you would see some rubbles move in the background and Gizmo would emerge with some dirt on him saying ''bye bye gremlins poo poo''. There, feel better ? ;)

But if they do make a direct to dvd Gremlins 3, I wouldn't be too surprised to see them kill Gizmo in the end. Just to get it over with for good.

What I would like to see in a Gremlins 3, is a darker tone to it. What about a serial killer kind of gremlin. Some gremlins reacting Freddy vs Jason. Just that kind of humor that the first gremlins had. And what about a gremlin dressed up like Chucky! Ah man, good fun we'll never see.

That would be great.. but does it remind us of other movies that poke fun at other movies..?

Not very original. lol.

Sliced 02-10-2007 02:33 PM

Its all in the spirit of the Gremlins. You know, there's always a moment in the movie where you see the all the gremlins just having fun and doing stupid things. I think that the gremlins were the first to actually mock other movies. It was great really. Its how gremlins act, they see something funny, or that they like and they'll reproduce it. They're like kids really. That's what so fun about them. It would just be fun to see a little pack of gremlins, all dressed up as famous serial killers. Classic, cliche maybe, but all gremlins.

exactly! Leave the original alone.

I mean we're all goonies at heart. Or maybe it's just me. But yeah, can anyone really top the re-gluing of mom's favorite part or the tongue coming out of the painting? or ROCKY ROAD!
I did mention at one time how I abhor remakes right?

Drtooth 02-12-2007 04:45 PM

Goonies 2= Good idea
Goonies cartoons = Bad Idea?

Well, shows how much people with a shred of intellegence are out of sync with the entertainment companies who are in turn out of sync with the general public.


I'd only support Goonies 2 if the cartoon series comes out of it.

Hero 03-04-2007 06:38 PM

I find this news hard to swallow. Tell me it is a bad dream.

I thought Goonies II was canned anyway...

===HERO

Ashangelo 03-07-2007 12:52 PM

I wouldn't mind seeing a sequel to the Goonies, but only if it had the orignal cast.

That Matt Guy 03-07-2007 02:18 PM

Just what the world needed... another Jaws movie.

Warhorse 04-28-2007 08:00 PM

So, they really gonna churn out a crappy Goonies 2 and Gremlins 3, when all they had to do was play smart and churn out a great film for the same amount of money?

This like totally sucks.

So, what's next, Lost Boys 2, Weird Science 2 and Adventure in Babysitting, the sequel?

Andrew NDB 02-12-2020 12:27 PM

It's too bad not even 1 of these was true. Maybe Gremlins, soon.

There's actually talk of a Jaws remake.

oldmanwinters 02-12-2020 01:12 PM

Andrew is the King of Necro-post!


I'm so glad that none of those movie sequels happened between 2007 and 2020, so let's keep it that way!

Andrew NDB 02-12-2020 01:21 PM

Gremlins 3 may actually happen. A Jaws remake could happen, or like a requel.

frank_one 02-12-2020 03:36 PM

The only one I could be interested in is Goonies 2 with the original cast grown up. I don't think we really need a new Gremlins and an other Jaws sounds just like a joke.

Sumac 02-12-2020 07:40 PM

Jaws x Sharknado crossover.
Nuff' said.

Lost Boys already HAD two sequels- The Thirst, and Tribe.

I actually really liked 3 (The Thirst). I hope they'd continue in that line.

MsMarvelDuckie 02-12-2020 09:11 PM

The comic mini series (Reign of Frogs) was more fun, honestly. But two was decent.

Leo656 02-12-2020 09:12 PM

And what does it say about them when it's realized that nobody even knows they exist except you and my wife? :lol:

We own 'em. She didn't like 'em either. One of the rare cases where she doesn't automatically love something because it has a familiar brand name sticker on it. So they must really be awful.

Didn't care for 2 so much. Mostly it was like a requel. 3 was all new, and way more Frog Brothers.

As far as shark movies go, I thought that the Meg was pretty good. It was more upbeat fun than I would've guessed going in.

ranger_scout 02-12-2020 10:34 PM

A TV drama inspired by The Goonies has been given a pilot order on Fox.

The PG-13 rating scared me away. If it's going to be giant shark schlock, I want gore, at least.

Meh. Probably inspired by Stranger Things, too.

Egon1982 02-23-2020 04:00 PM

Leave Jaws alone, it's a dead horse and no remake either.

You mean "dead shark", right?

Would Jaws fight or join the Sharknado? I suggest a cross over with Armageddon or Deep Impact where Bruce Willis gets eaten to save Ben Affleck.
