Ghostbusters 3 will probably be in 3D. Fucking duh.
In less painfully-obvious news, Gremlins 3 may be happening. Returning to the painfully-obvious… if it does happen, it will probably be in 3D.
These scantly detailed new-bits come from Market Saw and their “top sources.” I would typically load this up with grain-of-salt warnings but neither report is particularly crazy. The first is easily believed- seriously, anything resembling a genre film has at least a 50/50 shot of getting the 3D treatment. That simply will be the case for the next few months, if not from now on.
Word of another Gremlins film (sequel? prequel? reboot? remake?) has come and gone over the years without much action, but you’re nuts if you think they wouldn’t get around to mining that brand name eventually. Joe Dante is lazily mentioned in the Gremlins piece, but his involvement would run contrary to several statements he’s made in the past- specifically ones stating that he wouldn’t have any involvement in a Gremlins remake.
Of course, if you ignore the times he said he wouldn’t be involved in a Gremlins remake, there’s a chance he could be involved. He recently made an apparently pretty good 3D movie after all! And this will probably be in 3D! Tenuous connection, but who knows how big the check will be?
Look for more details when there actually are a few.

Heh, this seems like it's really happening. Even though there's been word of a ghostbusters 3 since 1999. If Indy 4 wasn't such a piece of shit, I'd be totally excited for this. Otherwise I'm cautiously optimistic.
Bill Murray and Hoyt Axton will be in 1D.
Dante could definitely pull this off with 3D. The man loves his meta-movie jokes and references.
This 3D garbage has to end. It sucked in the 50s, it sucked in the 80s, and it sucks now. Until they perfect holographic movie technology where I don't have to wear friggin glasses to watch cheap attempts at entertainment by having film elements obviously break the 4th wall I'm just not interested. I'll stick to Broadway if I want 3D. Looks like I'll be watching a lot less movies because I refuse to spend a single red cent on any 3D screens.
Ghostbusters 3D, Gremlins 3D… Man I thought I was done with the 80s…
3D just works better these days, it sucked long ago because of the dirty quality of film and spotty use during some movies.. the entire film looks sharp and the illusion is seamless nowadays..
Enough already with complaining about shit being in 3D. Like jgn9u6 said, it actually works and looks good now and people want a new movie going experience. Don't turn into Faraci and start complaining about shit for no reason because you have some false allegiance to what you percieve to be "good" movies, when you like crappy movies just like the rest of us. I mean, it's not like Avatar became the biggest movie ever made, because, by the money it's making, it clearly sucks and everyone has bad taste but you, so maybe you are right…
Groan. Thus ends the last of my hopes for the third Ghostbusters. I guess they needed to find some replacement for a good script, since they just don't write those for comedies any more …
Dante said he wouldn't be involved in a remake, yes? What if this were not a remake, then? I think the right concept/story could bring Dante back to a third Gremlins. What are Zach Galligan and Phoebe Cates up to?
As long as Joe Dante is involved in the Gremlins movie, I'm interested. Otherwise, not a chance. Dante is a really great director and should have had a better career by now, instead of wasting his time with that crappy online Corman produced thing.
Can't wait to see Dante's The Hole.
Terrormaster, you dick-twonk. 3D is here to stay and as Avatar proved, the technology is now near-perfect. It's not the rest of the world's fault if your eyes are good enough to handle it, you fucking doofus numbnuts. And yeah, I am getting personal, cos I like getting personal with people who are so fucking wrong it hurts. Now fuck off and find another hobby and let us real film lovers applaud this industry enhancing innovation. Get it? Good. Now fuck off.
I hope 3D continues to be a success and eventually work its way into porn. Th-h-h-h-h-at would be cool!!
I don't know which I'm less excited for. A new Ghostbusters, a new Gremlins, or every genre now being done in 3D. I have nothing against 3D as a whole. It's fine if it's done once in a while. I just do not want to see every genre being made in 3D. Because 3D usually has that obvious lame 3D shot….someone tossing something to you, or aiming a gun at you. If a shot seems out of place when you watch it in 2D, then it's that obvious bogus attmept to put you into the film. But I don't want to be in the film. I want to escape from my world and just look into the fictional world. I also hate it when a character talks to me as if I'm there too. Because he or she assumes I am responding one way or another. And Gremlins sucked, Gremlins 2 sucked more and a new Gremlins will suck in a newer way….with you feeling like your in the film. It's bad enough that writers seem to have gotten out of coming up with new movies…now they have to rework old ones that were either terrible the first time around or great the first time around–thus they don't need to be remade. Maybe fix some mistakes in the original movies and rerelease them improved.
As long as it's filmed in 3D and not '3D'd' after the fact. That Alice in Wonderland trailer looked fucking terrible because the 3D was of the quality of 'THIS IS THE FOREGROUND and THIS IS THE BACKGROUND' with no depth. Even the fucking Vesuvius erruption movie I saw at the museum this weekend was done in digital 3D and had depth. Retrospectively making something 3D just makes it look like one of those stereoscope things. Horrible.
#10, it is a stupid gimmick designed for idiots. How pathetic has society come that a dumb trick used in crappy 50's horror movies is now the greatest innovation in cinematic history? Fucking IDIOTS. Enjoy paying $3 more a ticket so a space fern lookins like it's sticking out at you.
RinTinTinGoil, you fucking numpty. If you're really equating 50's horror 3D-o-scope with the spectacle Cameron's just unleashed upon the world, then I suggest you go and have a brain scan because your wiring is fucked, dude. I am seriously worried about you. The only thing I can suggest for philistine morons like you is to go and get another fucking hobby, because 3D is here to stay. You probably still play tennis with a wooden racket. You dumb retard backwards-looking cunt. And if you can't afford another $3 a ticket then you need a new job, you scrubber. Or just any old job. I guess feeling up grannies round the back of bus stations doesn't pay much, right?
