The original Gremlin wrangler, Joe Dante, seems to firmly believe the Gremlins movie franchise will be back, with or without his involvement.

Bloody Disgusting interviewed Gremlins director Joe Dante, who was pretty convinced there would be a third film, and that he would have no part in it.

I find it hard to believe that they won't make a Gremlins 3 because they're remaking Adventures in Babysitting. I mean, they're gonna remake everything. They won't be coming to me. (Laughs) I can tell you that for a fact.

The director went on to say that there is very little chance he'll be asked to do the third, strangely adding:

"They did that once, they won't do it again," Dante told BD, laughing. "They made that mistake once. Its a moot point, they won't be coming to me." (Laughs) "I can tell you that for a fact."

What you mean they weren't floored with the bra-clad Gremlina? Until we know more, you'll have to wait until the DVD and Bluray of the original Gremlins is released (which are currently in the works) to get your Gremlins fix.
