GREMLINS: SECRETS OF THE MOGWAI

PREMIERE DATE: TBA

WHO: Cast members TBA. Tze Chun (Gotham) will write the scripts and executive-produce with Darryl Frank (The Americans), Justin Falvey (Bull), Sam Register (Young Justice) and Brendan Hay (The Daily Show).

WHAT: An animated Gremlins prequel that will take place in 1920s Shanghai and reveal how 10-year-old Sam Wing (who goes on to be shop owner Mr. Wing in the 1984 movie) met the young Mogwai named Gizmo.

STATUS: Ordered to series

Quote:

Tells the story of how 10-year-old Sam Wing met the young Mogwai called Gizmo. Along with a teenage street thief named Elle, Sam and Gizmo take a perilous journey through the Chinese countryside, encountering, and sometimes battling, colorful monsters and spirits from Chinese folklore. On their quest to return Gizmo to his family and uncover a legendary treasure, they are pursued by a power-hungry industrialist and his growing army of evil Gremlins.

Meanwhile Chris Columbus' reboot movie is nowhere to be seen or heard of after Columbus finished writing the script and making some noise about it a year ago.

And that's what I'm waiting for. After rewatching Gremlins 1 and 2 recently (and enjoying 2 heaps more thanks to Joe Dante's satyrical take on the hollywood-commisioned sequel) an animated series feels like... a downer. I was just reading somewhere (reddit?) about Gizmo's puppet persona return. Not like this! Mad
