Gremlins 3 is going back to the roots of the franchise with practical puppets and animatronics taking center stage instead of CGI. Director ChrisColumbus, who wrote the original 1984 classic, wants Gizmo and the Gremlins to retain the physical, handmade quality that made the first two movies so distinctive. CGI is expected to be used primarily as a supporting tool in post-production including removing rods and wires used to operate the creatures rather than replacing the puppets themselves. The legendary Jim Henson Creature Shop is also reportedly involved in bringing the new generation of Mogwai and Gremlins to life. Columbus directs from a screenplay written with Zach Lipovsky and Adam B. Stein, while Steven Spielberg returns as executive producer. Gremlins 3 hits theaters October 6, 2028.
